Evidence-Based Treatments
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. The therapeutic technique is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected to influence our mood and how we deal with a situation. In the therapeutic environment, clients are taught how to manage the emotions and change the thoughts and behaviors to gain the result they desire. CBT can help with managing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, eating disorders, substance abuse, and more.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure And Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of CBT and is often used to treat OCD and other anxiety related disorders. ERP first focuses on gradually and repeatedly exposing the client to the situation that contributed to the anxiety or obsession, then helps the client resist the urge to engage in behaviors or avoidances that were previously used to reduce the anxiety. The outcome is that the client learns a new and healthier coping technique to deal with anxiety.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy is an insight-oriented approach of therapy that helps a client explore patterns, themes, or defenses in their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences to help them understand their current life struggles.
