Evidence-Based Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Evidence-based treatment that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

A form of talk therapy and psychotherapy that supports patients with intense emotional experiences to better understand and process how their thoughts affect their emotions and behaviors. 

Family Systems Therapy

Psychotherapy practices that focus on the family as a unit and the emotional unit instead of the individual. This form of therapy supports families with conflict resolution, communication strategies, and creating healthy boundaries and patterns. 

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Goal‑oriented, short‑term approach that helps patients identify and work toward specific outcomes that focus on their strengths, available resources, and existing problem-solving skills.

Play Therapy

Age‑appropriate (ages 3-12) therapeutic methods for children that use play to safely and naturally communicate. This form of therapy supports children to express, process, and resolve emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties.

Trauma‑Informed Therapy

Educates patients on the impacts of trauma and supports a path forward to recovery, learning the signs and symptoms within themselves or loved ones, and actively avoiding re-traumatization.
