My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their difficulties. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT equips clients with practical skills to manage challenges, promote healthier coping strategies, and ultimately improve their overall well-being.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide clients to develop psychological flexibility by accepting their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them. Through mindfulness techniques and values clarification, ACT helps clients commit to actions aligned with their values, even in the presence of difficult emotions. By fostering acceptance and promoting meaningful action, ACT empowers clients to lead richer, more fulfilling lives.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

In suicide prevention using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to suicidal ideation. We focus on developing coping strategies to manage distressing emotions, problem-solving skills to address life stressors, and building a support network. By fostering resilience and promoting healthier ways of thinking and coping, CBT helps clients reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors while enhancing their overall well-being and safety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)

In utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for insomnia, we address the underlying thoughts and behaviors contributing to sleep difficulties. Through techniques such as sleep hygiene education, relaxation training, and cognitive restructuring, we work to modify negative sleep-related beliefs and establish healthier sleep habits. By targeting both the psychological and behavioral aspects of insomnia, CBT aims to improve sleep quality and duration, ultimately restoring a more restful and refreshing sleep pattern.

Trauma-Focused CBT

ChatGPT In Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I help clients understand and process traumatic experiences in a safe and structured manner. Through a combination of psychoeducation, relaxation techniques, and cognitive restructuring, we address the impact of trauma on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. TF-CBT also incorporates elements of exposure therapy to gradually confront and desensitize distressing memories and sensations. By providing a supportive environment and teaching effective coping skills, TF-CBT aims to alleviate symptoms of trauma and promote healing and resilience.
