Clinical Practices
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A type of psychotherapy — also called talk therapy — that helps individuals gain a better understanding of how their thoughts and emotions influence their behavior. Through CBT, individuals change how they approach difficult situations by breaking down destructive patterns of behavior and working on finding solutions. CBT is particularly helpful in treating certain mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
A type of cognitive behavioral therapy that allows individuals who have difficulty managing their emotions to prioritize the present and change negative thinking and behaviors. Through DBT, individuals practice acceptance strategies and distress tolerance skills while learning how to build on their strengths.
Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques
A series of techniques that concentrate on the living in the present, and connecting the mind and body in order to achieve a state of calm and relaxation. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques are particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty managing emotions, struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or suffer from severe anxiety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI emphasizes close collaboration between the individual and their clinician to inspire positive change and empower the individual to make their own choices.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
A goal-oriented form of psychotherapy centered around developing solutions and the necessary tools to achieve change. SFBT places shifts focus from the perceived problem to the individual’s strength to uncover what is possible and changeable. Through SFBT, individuals are able to reduce their stress and anxiety levels while improving interpersonal relationships.
