Insight and Understanding

By developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, you can create a more genuine you. Psychotherapy allows for one to uncover new ways to understand our experiences, strengths, and potential. Paying attention to the past, present, or both can illuminate our perceptions and can be an extremely powerful catalyst for creativity and change.

Strategies

Our patterns of behavior have a great effect on our mood. Change comes from learning and practicing new ways to think and respond. With practice our behaviors eventually become effortless and we master our own fear and anxieties.

Awareness and Attention

Many people feel like they understand their issues and yet are unable to break old habits. Psychotherapy can help identify your level of awareness within yourself and in relation to family, loved ones, friends, family, and colleagues. Learning your triggers and developing tools can bring your attention and awareness to a higher level of mental wellness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). You work with a mental health counselor (psychotherapist or therapist) in a structured way, attending a limited number of sessions. CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

CBT can be a very helpful tool in treating mental health disorders, such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or an eating disorder. But not everyone who benefits from CBT has a mental health condition. It can be an effective tool to help anyone learn how to better manage stressful life situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) 

Dialectical behavioral therapy is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy tries to identify and change negative thinking patterns and pushes for positive behavioral changes. DBT was initially designed to treat people with suicidal behavior but it has been adapted for other mental health problems that threaten a person's safety, relationships, work, and emotional well-being.

 In addition, research has shown that it is effective in treating a wide range of other disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Draws on theories and practices of analytical psychology and psychoanalysis. It is a therapeutic process which helps patients understand and resolve their problems by increasing awareness of their inner world and its influence over relationships both past and present. It differs from most other therapies in aiming for deep seated change in personality and emotional development.

Mindfulness-Based Interventions

Therapeutic approaches grounded in mindfulness, promote the practice as an important part of good physical and mental health. Mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectal behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are some mindfulness-based interventions currently utilized in therapy.

Designed to deliberately focus a person’s attention on the present experience in a way that is non-judgmental, mindfulness-based interventions, whether offered individually or in a group setting, may offer benefit to people seeking therapy for any number of concerns.

Positive Psychology

Is the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.

Psychology has traditionally focused on dysfunction—people with mental illness or other issues—and how to treat it. Positive psychology, in contrast, is a field that examines how ordinary people can become happier and more fulfilled.
