Behavioral Therapy

CBT Group (Cognitive behavioral therapy)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapy treatment aimed at helping Individuals identify negative emotions, behaviors, and thinking in response to difficulties and modifying how they respond based on the idea that the perception of a situation can be controlled by how you react and not on how you feel. We collaboratively work with clients to first, identify problematic thinking and behaviors, explore new strategies for addressing them, and collectively come up with positive solutions. This exploration challenges cognitive distortions which are inaccurate thoughts that reinforce negative behaviors or emotions. Clients are taught coping techniques to combat negative thinking.

DBT Group (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based, highly effective treatment for individuals with intense emotions, strained relations, and impulsive behaviors. DBT balances radical acceptance of the client as they are, together with the necessity to change for the better. We use DBT to help our clients change chronic patterns of behavior, such as self-harm, suicidal thinking, and substance abuse. DBT groups help the client learn to tolerate distress without making situations worse, be present at the moment without judgment, observe and change strong emotions, ask for what they want/need in an effective way, and build a life worth living.
