Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a modified form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), was initially crafted for individuals with borderline personality disorder but has since proven effective for various mental health conditions. The overarching objective of DBT is to provide individuals with tangible steps to construct a meaningful and fulfilling life. Anchored in mindfulness and coping skills, DBT focuses on fostering healthy relationships and enhancing emotional resilience.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a potent neuro-experiential therapy which facilitates the comprehensive processing of a single or multiple traumatic events. Brainspotting was founded by David Grand and is centered around the awareness that “where you look affects how you feel.”  Eye positions are used to access the deeper parts of the brain where suppressed emotions and painful memories are stored. The subcortical or reptilian brain responds to real or perceived threats with flight, flight, freeze or fawning responses. Unresolved trauma may cause exaggerated responses which manifests as panic, drastic mood swings, chronic pain or other physiological conditions. Brainspotting desensitizes clients to environmental triggers resulting in emotional regulation, resolution, and recovery.

Medication Management

Psychotropic medications may be essential to begin or continue the healing process. Medications are generally considered when symptoms impede daily functioning, such as work, school, or relationships. Individuals grappling with fatigue, lack of motivation, social withdrawal, or joylessness often find benefit from a combination of medication support and psychotherapy. This method is endorsed as best practice and supported by evidence-based research.
