Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that negative or irrational thoughts can contribute to negative emotions and problematic behaviors. CBT is designed to help individuals identify and challenge these negative thoughts, and replace them with more balanced and realistic ones.
CBT typically involves talking with a mental health professional in one-on-one sessions, but it can also be done in a group setting. During therapy, individuals learn how to recognize negative thoughts and how these thoughts can influence their feelings and behaviors. They also learn coping strategies and problem-solving skills to help them manage their negative thoughts and emotions.
CBT is a goal-oriented and time-limited therapy, typically lasting 12-20 sessions. It has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It can also be used to address specific problems, such as sleep disturbances, chronic pain, and substance abuse.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of psychotherapy based on the premise that each person's mind is made up of multiple "parts" or sub-personalities, which interact with each other and with the person's environment. These parts are organized into systems, with some parts acting as "protectors" that try to keep the person safe, while others may be "exiles" that carry painful emotions or memories.
In IFS therapy, the therapist helps the client identify and understand these different parts, and work towards resolving conflicts between them. The goal of IFS is to help the client achieve a sense of self-leadership, where the client's true self is able to lead and coordinate the different parts in a way that is healthy and adaptive.
IFS has been found to be effective for a range of mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. It is often used in combination with other therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based interventions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy, based on the principles of mindfulness, acceptance, and dialectics.
It emphasizes the importance of balancing acceptance and change, and teaches clients specific skills to help them regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal relationships, and increase mindfulness.
DBT is now used to treat a variety of mental health issues including mood disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, and trauma-related disorders.
While we do not have fully certified DBT clinicians, we incorporate effective components of DBT into treatment.
Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Mindfulness is a form of meditation that has its roots in Buddhist practices, but has been adapted for secular use and is widely used in western psychology.
Mindfulness can be practiced through various techniques, including:
Practicing mindfulness can help individuals increase their awareness of their thoughts and emotions, and reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It has also been shown to improve physical health by reducing chronic pain, lowering blood pressure, and improving sleep quality. Mindfulness can be practiced on its own or as part of a larger treatment plan, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
