Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The goal of this approach to mental health treatment is to help patients recognize when they are engaging in dysfunctional thought patterns and then change them. We utilize solution-focused talk therapy, which centers on the idea that erroneous beliefs and views impact actions. We analyze the patient's thought processes and come up with a strategy to deal with the issues related to their mental health. The individualized strategy is based on the client as every situation is different.
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.
