• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (treatment that focuses on thoughts and feelings) for PTSD, and related conditions. PTSD can develop when an individual experiences a traumatic event such as physical and sexual abuse or assault, accidents, threats, military combat, or being a witness to violence or death. CPT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, behavior and bodily sensations. CPT is an evidenced based therapy which means that it has been proven to be effective through rigorous scientific research.
• CPT provides a way to understand why recovery from traumatic events is difficult and how symptoms of PTSD affect daily life. The focus is on identifying how traumatic experiences change thoughts and beliefs, and how thoughts influence current feelings and behaviors. An important part of the treatment is addressing ways of thinking that might keep individuals “stuck” and get in the way of recovery from symptoms of PTSD and other problems.

Present-Centered Therapy (PCT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals manage the ongoing stress, challenges, and life problems that often develop alongside Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Unlike trauma-focused therapies that directly process traumatic memories, PCT emphasizes current concerns, helping individuals strengthen coping skills, reduce distress, and improve daily functioning.

PCT is structured, practical, and supportive. During sessions, individual’s and their therapist work together to:

• Identify current stressors affecting mood, relationships, and overall well-being
• Understand how these stressors connect to PTSD symptoms
• Develop effective coping strategies to manage anxiety, irritability, sleep issues, and emotional overwhelm
• Strengthen problem-solving skills to improve functioning in daily life
• Build confidence and resilience through consistent support and skill-building

While PCT does not involve retelling or processing traumatic memories, it helps individuals regain a sense of control in their lives by focusing on what they can manage in the present. Research shows that PCT can meaningfully reduce PTSD symptoms and improve quality of life, especially for individuals who may not be ready for trauma-focused therapy or prefer a non-exposure-based approach.

PCT is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s needs—providing a safe space to focus on healing and moving forward.

Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is a brief, evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that focuses on helping individuals process traumatic experiences through structured writing. WET is designed to reduce PTSD symptoms efficiently and effectively, without requiring long-term therapy or detailed homework assignments.

During WET, patients participate in a series of guided writing sessions in which they:

• Write about their traumatic experience in a structured, therapeutic format
• Explore thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions connected to the trauma
• Increase understanding and coherence around what happened
• Reduce avoidance, a core feature of PTSD that often maintains symptoms

WET typically involves five sessions, making it one of the most time-efficient PTSD treatments supported by research. Despite its brief format, studies show that WET significantly decreases PTSD symptoms and improves overall functioning for many individuals.

WET may be a strong fit for patients who prefer a straightforward, writing-based approach, want a shorter treatment option, or do not wish to engage in more intensive trauma-focused therapies.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based treatment that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT helps individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns and habits that contribute to distress, and teaches practical skills to create healthier, more balanced responses.
• In therapy, patients learn to challenge negative or distorted thoughts, manage overwhelming emotions, and build more effective coping strategies. CBT is goal-oriented, structured, and collaborative, helping individuals make meaningful changes in a relatively short period of time.
• CBT is effective for a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and behavioral challenges. By learning new skills and developing more adaptive ways of thinking, patients gain greater control over their emotional well-being and daily functioning.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Pain Management is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals reduce the impact of chronic pain by changing the way they understand, respond to, and manage their symptoms. While CBT does not eliminate physical pain, it empowers patients with practical tools to decrease emotional distress, improve functioning, and regain a sense of control in daily life.
• CBT for pain focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, reducing fear and avoidance, and increasing healthy behaviors that support physical and emotional well-being. Patients learn coping strategies such as relaxation techniques, pacing, problem-solving skills, and mindfulness-based practices to better manage pain flare-ups and improve quality of life.
• By shifting the relationship with pain—rather than fighting or fearing it—individuals often experience reduced stress, improved mood, and a greater ability to participate in meaningful activities. CBT provides a structured, supportive path toward living more fully despite chronic pain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, cope effectively with difficult thoughts or emotions, and take meaningful action aligned with their values.

ACT does not focus on eliminating distressing feelings. Instead, it teaches skills to:

• Accept internal experiences rather than struggle against them
• Recognize and defuse unhelpful thoughts
• Stay grounded in the present moment
• Clarify personal values
• Commit to actions that support a purposeful and fulfilling life

ACT is effective for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, stress, and life transitions. By learning to respond to challenges with openness and intention, patients develop greater resilience and an increased sense of well-being.

• Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, patient-centered therapy approach designed to help individuals explore and strengthen their motivation for change. Rather than telling patients what to do, MI uses open dialogue, reflective listening, and guided questioning to support individuals in identifying their own goals, values, and reasons for making positive changes.
• MI is especially helpful when someone feels uncertain, ambivalent, or “stuck.” The approach empowers patients to tap into their personal strengths, resolve mixed feelings, and build confidence in their ability to take meaningful steps forward.
• This evidence-based method is widely used for concerns such as substance use, health behaviors, lifestyle changes, and other situations where motivation plays a key role. MI is respectful, supportive, and tailored to each person’s readiness for change.

DBT Skills Training focuses on teaching practical, evidence-based skills that help individuals manage emotions, improve relationships, and handle stress more effectively. Unlike full-model DBT, which includes individual therapy and coaching, Skills Only programs concentrate specifically on learning and applying the four core DBT skill areas:

• Mindfulness: Building awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present moment
• Distress Tolerance: Developing healthy ways to cope with crises and intense emotions
• Emotion Regulation: Understanding and managing emotional responses
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Strengthening communication, boundaries, and relationship skills

DBT Skills Only is well-suited for individuals seeking structured tools to enhance emotional stability, reduce reactivity, and improve daily functioning. These skills can complement other forms of therapy or serve as a standalone approach for those looking to build resilience and coping capacity.

• Person-Centered Therapy is a supportive, humanistic approach that emphasizes each individual’s capacity for personal growth and self-understanding. This therapy is grounded in the belief that people naturally move toward healing and positive change when they feel genuinely heard and accepted.
• In Person-Centered Therapy, the clinician provides a warm, nonjudgmental, and empathetic environment where patients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. Rather than directing the session, the therapist collaborates with the patient, fostering self-discovery and helping them build trust in their own insight and inner strengths.
• This approach is effective for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal issues, and self-esteem challenges. It is a gentle yet powerful method that supports patients in becoming more aligned with their authentic selves.

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an evidence-based approach that blends traditional cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness practices to help individuals manage difficult emotions, reduce stress, and prevent relapse of depression and anxiety. MBCT teaches patients how to observe their thoughts and feelings with curiosity and without judgment, rather than becoming overwhelmed or caught in old patterns.
• Through guided mindfulness exercises, breathing techniques, and cognitive tools, patients learn to recognize automatic negative thoughts and respond more skillfully. This increased awareness helps break cycles of worry, rumination, and emotional reactivity.
• MBCT supports individuals in building a calmer, more present-centered way of living. Over time, it enhances emotional resilience, improves mood regulation, and helps individuals relate to themselves with greater compassion and clarity.

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety conditions. ERP helps individuals face feared situations, thoughts, or sensations in a gradual, supportive, and structured way—while learning to resist the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors or avoidance.
• During ERP, patients are guided to confront triggers step-by-step, allowing the brain to learn that anxiety naturally decreases without relying on rituals or safety behaviors. This process helps reduce the power of intrusive thoughts, breaks the cycle of OCD, and builds long-term resilience.
• Over time, ERP increases confidence, decreases anxiety, and helps patients regain control over their daily lives. It is considered the gold-standard treatment for OCD because it empowers individuals to break patterns that keep anxiety in place and build healthier, more flexible responses.

• Integrative Psychotherapy is a flexible and personalized approach to mental health treatment that combines techniques from multiple evidence-based therapies. Rather than using a single method for every patient, integrative therapy tailors treatment to each person’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
• This approach may blend elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, attachment theory, and somatic techniques—allowing the therapist to create a plan that fits the whole person, not just the symptoms. Integrative therapy considers emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physical, and relational factors, offering a comprehensive pathway to healing.
• The goal is to increase self-awareness, improve coping skills, resolve internal conflicts, and support lasting, meaningful change. By drawing on the most helpful tools from different therapeutic models, integrative psychotherapy provides a balanced, patient-centered approach that adapts as your needs evolve.

• EMDR is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals recover from trauma, distressing life experiences, and other emotionally overwhelming events. Instead of relying solely on talk therapy, EMDR uses a structured approach that incorporates bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sound—to help the brain reprocess painful memories.
• Through EMDR, individuals can reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, reshape unhelpful beliefs, and develop healthier ways of responding to current stressors. This therapy allows patients to process experiences at a pace that feels safe, while maintaining awareness in the present moment.
• EMDR is widely used for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other concerns rooted in unresolved past experiences. Many patients find that EMDR leads to meaningful and lasting symptom reduction, improved emotional regulation, and a greater sense of empowerment.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy teaches practical, research-backed skills that help partners communicate more effectively, reduce conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. The approach is built on decades of studying what makes relationships succeed and offers clear tools that couples can use both in and out of sessions.

Key skills include:

• Healthy Communication Tools: Learning how to express needs and emotions clearly, listen without defensiveness, and stay connected during tough conversations.
• Conflict Management Strategies: Understanding the difference between solvable and perpetual problems, using gentle start-ups, and repairing conflicts before they escalate.
• Building Friendship and Intimacy: Strengthening the foundation of the relationship through daily connection, shared rituals, and emotional attunement.
• Creating Shared Meaning: Developing shared goals, values, and life dreams that support long-term trust and closeness.
• Strengthening Trust and Commitment: Replacing negative interaction patterns with skills that build appreciation, teamwork, and stability.

These skills help couples move away from gridlock and toward healthier, more supportive patterns of interaction—creating a stronger, more resilient relationship.

• Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is an evidence-based, short-term approach that helps couples strengthen their emotional bond and repair negative patterns of interaction. Grounded in attachment theory, EFCT guides partners in identifying and expressing the deeper, primary emotions—such as fear, sadness, or vulnerability—that often lie beneath conflict.
• Instead of remaining stuck in reactive behaviors like anger, defensiveness, or withdrawal, couples learn to communicate their needs more openly and respond to each other with greater empathy and emotional clarity. This process helps create new, healthier cycles of connection, trust, and responsiveness.
• EFCT supports couples in moving from disconnection and tension toward a more secure, supportive, and emotionally attuned relationship.
