Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-established, evidence-based approach shown to be effective in treating a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties, and severe mental illness. Research consistently supports CBT as being as effective as—or in some cases more effective than—other forms of psychotherapy or psychiatric medications.
CBT interventions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, and developing practical skills to shift patterns, adopt healthier behaviors, and consider alternative perspectives. Treatment is highly individualized, with specific strategies and duration tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is an evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that helps individuals confront and process trauma-related memories and situations in a structured and supportive environment. Developed by Dr. Edna Foa, PE is grounded in cognitive-behavioral principles and aims to reduce the distressing effects of trauma by addressing avoidance behaviors and facilitating emotional processing.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive PTSD evaluation to determine suitability and tailor the approach to the individual. Therapy typically consists of weekly sessions over the course of approximately three months.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps individuals build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, open, and engaged in meaningful action, even in the face of difficult thoughts and feelings.
Rather than trying to eliminate distressing emotions or thoughts, ACT encourages people to accept them as a normal part of life, while committing to behaviors aligned with their personal values. The therapy combines mindfulness strategies with behavior change techniques to help individuals live more fully and authentically. ACT has been shown to be effective for a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, PTSD, and substance use, as well as for improving overall well-being and resilience.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stress in healthier ways. It was originally developed to support individuals struggling with overwhelming emotions, self-harm, or unstable relationships, but it's now used for a wide range of mental health concerns. DBT combines two key ideas: accepting yourself as you are and working toward positive change. It focuses on building practical skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is a highly supportive and structured approach that has helped many people create more balance and stability in their lives.
