My treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a clinician, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) because it offers an evidence based, comprehensive, and effective approach to treating a wide range of mental health conditions. DBT can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual client, a personalized treatment approach that maximizes outcomes. DBT provides a structured framework for teaching essential skills, mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that empower clients manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. By utilizing DBT, I can assist clients in developing the tools and skills they need to lead fulfilling lives, even in the face of challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT because it is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. Together, we work to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and practice new behaviors. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of empowerment and ownership in the therapeutic process. CBT is a skill-based therapy that equips clients with practical tools and techniques to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
