Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT®)
DBT® is a treatment protocol that is often recommended for clients who have struggled with life threatening or interfering behaviors and/or frequent hospitalizations. In its full capacity, clients work with a formally trained DBT® therapist to do weekly group skills training as well as participate in weekly individual DBT® therapy to specifically apply these skills while tracking their effectiveness towards thought patterns, emotional responses, and overt behavior changes over the course of 6 months - 1 year. Individual DBT® therapy is a high level commitment from both the client and the therapist, and it requires proper education and orientation for both parties to engage in the full treatment protocol. While many clients are referred for what may be called “DBT” services, there are many levels of DBT that can be provided. For this reason, most programs, including ours, requires an intake prior to enrollment in any part of it to learn about each other and decide which level of commitment and treatment is clinically appropriate. Unlike most programs, we are in person and we do NOT require that our clients do their individual treatment within our walls.
Trauma Treatment
Trauma is not only defined in terms of what others might consider a life-altering or dramatic event that causes clear physical or emotional damage. Trauma can take place in many ways. It may be limited to a single event or a relationship, or it could be the cumulative result of various experiences over time and not be noticed or understood until much later. Our therapists have several different layers of training and approaches in helping clients better understand, explore, and heal from their trauma.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a physiologically and evidence-based treatment intended to work through trauma and challenge core beliefs that may be getting in the way of clients optimal functioning or therapeutic change. It requires special training and supervision for clinicians to be able to offer the treatment at different levels.
