Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This treatment method aims to identify and alter maladaptive thought patterns that are contributing to psychological issues. We employ solution-oriented talk therapy, focusing on the belief that behaviors are influenced by distorted thoughts and perceptions. We identify and evaluate the patient's thought patterns and develop a plan to address the difficulties linked to their mental state. Because situations are unique to the individual, the tailored plan is person-centered.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Psychotherapy known as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) combines elements of CBT with meditation and the practice of an attitude of nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment. We used different techniques to achieve a state of self-awareness of the body, and thoughts and become more aware of the present moment.
