Our approach to treatment
Our philosophy is that people do not fail at therapy, sometimes however therapy may fail people. It is your therapists job to understand, support and adapt their approach to your needs. We may use any of these approaches listed below or a blend of what will be best suited to your needs. Our clinical staff are continually enhancing their skills to support you with ongoing training and consultation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
There is a reason why this well researched therapy is so ubiquitous in psychotherapy, because it works. Aside from the strong foundational knowledge our clinicians have in CBT, we also utilize other forms of this therapy. Many of our clinicians have participated in advanced training, such as Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E). CBT is best for use with those with depression, anxiety, and binge eating disorders.
