Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a type of evidence-based psychotherapy used to help treat a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. I use this treatment method to improve distorted thought and behavioral patterns associated with conditions like depression and anxiety and implement techniques to help with these thoughts and learn how to regulate responses to anxiety-producing situations and develop coping strategies when they occur.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Striking a balance between validation (acceptance) of who patient are and their challenges and the benefits of change. This treatment option help patient learn new skills to improve emotion regulation.
