Making the Shift: Our Services

 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an action-oriented therapy that helps people identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's based on the idea that a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions are all interconnected, and that changing one can lead to positive changes in the others. CBT teaches practical skills and strategies to help individuals manage problems in the present moment, ultimately helping them develop healthier ways of thinking and reacting. 

 Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based therapy that teaches people how to cope with intense emotions and navigate difficult relationships. It focuses on four core modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through these skills, clients learn to accept their current reality while also making positive changes in their lives. 

 EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured therapy that helps clients process and heal from traumatic memories and other distressing life experiences. It involves a therapist guiding a client to recall a disturbing memory while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements or alternating hand taps. This process helps to reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional impact and allowing the brain to store it in a way that is no longer distressing. 

 Talk therapy, or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process between a client and a trained therapist to help the client understand and work through personal challenges. Through structured conversation, it provides a safe, confidential space to explore thoughts and emotions, and to learn practical skills for coping with distress and improving relationships. It's a way to gain self-awareness and find new solutions to problems.
