Customized, Evidence-Based Therapies

The most effective mental health approaches for you respect that you’re unique. We take the time to understand your goals and preferences to personalize therapy for you. We’ll collaborate to build your individualized plan from evidence-based therapies like:

• Accelerated resolution therapy (ART): ART may provide faster relief from the challenges you’re experiencing. This approach combines guided eye movements and visualization techniques to reduce the distress of traumatic memories without requiring you to discuss them in detail.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps you identify and shift thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression and other challenges.
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): With DBT, you learn tools for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and building distress tolerance.
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR uses guided eye movements to help your brain process the emotional impact of traumatic memories and reduce their power.
• Narrative therapy: This traditional approach helps you explore the stories and meanings connected to your experiences to create new possibilities for change.
