Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, and severe mental illness. Research has demonstrated CBT to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychotherapy or psychiatric medications. Interventions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to mental health problems and making efforts to learn new skills, adapt behaviors, and identify alternative perspectives. Specific interventions and length of treatment are tailored to the individual needs of the client.
Prolonged Exposure (PE) is an evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that teaches clients how to gain control by facing their fears. Treatment is preceded by a comprehensive PTSD evaluation, followed by weekly 90-minute sessions for approximately three months.
Heart-rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is an evidence-based technique that provides real-time feedback on heart rate and respiration changes while breathing at low frequencies. HRV training can be used to decrease anxiety, improve sleep, increase focus and attention, improve mood, and enhance sports performance.
