Modalities of Psychotherapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured, goal-oriented type of psychotherapy, where a mental health professional will assist you in examining how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are related.  Through CBT, you can become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

CBT sessions are typically delivered over 12-16 sessions.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach developed from CBT. DBT aims to help people successfully improve their coping skills, by focusing on developing skills focused on mindfulness, distress tolerance, effective communication, and emotion regulation. While participating in therapy sessions individuals are able to develop effective ways to manage and express strong emotions.

DBT sessions are delivered weekly, over 6-12 months or longer.
