Treatment Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
People often experience thoughts or feelings that reinforce or compound faulty beliefs. Such beliefs can result in problematic behaviors that can affect numerous life areas, including family, romantic relationships, work, and academics. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy combats these destructive thoughts and behaviors by helping the client identify the problematic beliefs, create more effective constructs, and learn to practice new skills that can then be put into use in real-world situations. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy has been proven effective with a number of mental and emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.
Family Systems Therapy
The premise of this approach is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Emotional and psychological problems are not merely the problem of an individual, but generated and influenced by expectations and communication dynamics within the family. Therapy focuses on changing the rules and expectations of how a family or couple functions, treating the family as a unit rather than just focusing on the identified client.

EMDR
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that emphasizes disturbing memories as the cause of distress and alleviates the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. EMDR is used for individuals who have experienced severe trauma that remains unresolved. When a traumatic or distressing experience occurs, it may overwhelm normal cognitive and neurological coping mechanisms. The memories are inadequately processed and stored in an isolated memory network. The goal of EMDR therapy is to process these distressing memories, reducing their lingering effects and allowing clients to develop more adaptive coping mechanisms.
