EMDR Therapy

EMDR is a proven psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing, traumatic life experiences. A therapist, specially trained in EMDR, will guide a person through the treatment by using the person’s own rapid, rhythmic eye movements to  dampen the power of emotionally charged memories of past trauma.

Medication

Our Board-Certified Psychiatrists and APRNs adhere to treatment that is a combination of medications and psychotherapy. Medication Assisted Treatment for substance use addiction has been proven to be the most successful tool for opioid (pain pills, heroin) addiction. Our treatment utilizes Suboxone and Vivitrol as well as other supportive medications.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT focuses on solutions as opposed to traditional Freudian psychotherapy that focuses on childhood issues.  Patients are encouraged to challenge distorted cognition and change destructive patterns of behavior.

Family Function Therapy

FFT was founded in the 1970s by Dr. James F. Alexander and has received international recognition for its outcomes in helping troubled youth and their families to overcome delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and teen acting out behaviors.

Gottman Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method is one of the most popular and contemporary approaches to couples counseling used today. Based on Psychologist John Gottman’s research of married couples over a 40 year period, couples learn new communication styles and behaviors to overcome obstacles in their relationship.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Our IOP includes 9 hours of therapy per week of curriculm-specific programming (3 hours per session, 3 times a week).  It is a dual diagnosis and trauma-informed program incorporating elements of Alcoholics Anonymous®, Rational Recovery®, and Smart Recovery®.  Support Services include programs such as yoga, EMDR treatment, and life skills building.

Parent and Child Interaction Therapy

PCIT is an empirically-supported treatment for conduct-disordered young children that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns.

Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy

Play Therapy is a nonverbal, theraputic intervention that makes use of toys.  Sand Play Therapy makes use of a sandbox, toy figures, and sometimes water.  Both therapies allow the client to create scenes of miniature worlds that reflect their inner thoughts, struggles, and concerns.

ADHD Testing

We provide ADHD testing across all ages.  ADHD is more commonly identified as a concern in children.  However, ADHD can affect a person over a lifetime and may be something that has been overlooked in adults.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy

ACT is a psychotherapy that teaches people to stop avoiding and struggling with their inner emotions and instead, accept their issues and hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior.
