Expert Care
Research-supported treatments are used in a tailored manner to apply the cutting-edge of psychological technology to each person's unique needs. Therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) help clients change problematic patterns of coping that no longer serve them. Trauma-informed protocols, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), are used to effectively alleviate the trauma-related symptoms that hold a person back in their present-day life. Mindfulness and the philosophy of dialectics underpin the approach to most tailored treatments used at the practice.
