Types of Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that works to identify and change negative thinking patterns and pushes for positive change.  DBT is an evidenced based treatment modality that focuses on 4 different modules; Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Distress Tolerance.  Each module provides clients with a set of skills to help them be less reactive, reduce impulsivity and make more informed choices. DBT was developed as a treatment for individuals struggling with Boarderline Personality Disorder.  Over the past 40 years is has become effective is treating individuals struggling with a variety of issues from self harm, impulsivity, regulating hard emotions, and navigating challenging relationships.

  • A field of psychological theory and research that focuses on the psychological states (e.g., contentment, joy), individual traits or character strengths (e.g., intimacy, integrity, altruism, wisdom), and social institutions that enhance subjective well-being and make life most worth living.

  • The mental health benefits of nature are well know and supported by current research.  Being in nature allows you to focus on your senses while practicing letting go of anxious thoughts.   Focusing on your breath allows you to lower your parasympathetic nervous system which again reduces anxiety.  Some clients focus better when moving. Walking therapy allows clients to tap into a more authentic self which improves the overall therapeutic experience.
