Evidence - based intensive Psychotherapy
Evidence-based Intensive Psychotherapy - Our client will engage in an intensive psychotherapy program tailored to meet his or her individual needs. We incorporate a transtheoretical model of positive psychology, which allows us to utilize a broad range of evidence-based therapeutic strategies taken from a variety of clinical models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, in order to design interventions that will most effectively meet the needs of each client. Without the strict focus on diagnostic labels, our treatment techniques are designed to address the underlying factors that have driven symptomatic behaviors. We recognize that this underlying pain has overtaxed the emotional resources of our client which will support him or her in developing and utilizing new and healthy tools.

Motivation - We recognize that a client will arrive at his or her own emotional place, within a set of unique needs. We will meet that client where he or she is at, in a supportive and compassionate manner. Through the course of treatment, we will facilitate the development of an internally driven desire for change and growth. We recognize that lasting change will only occur when an individual finds the value in this process along the way.
Skills Training - As a client moves through and overcomes the underlying pain and trauma which have reduced and limited his or her ability to function, we will assist that individual in developing recovery skills and tools through mindfulness, stress tolerance, and emotional regulation
