VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy used to help individuals process and heal from trauma. It involves recalling distressing memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, which helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences and reduce emotional distress. EMDR is widely recognized as an effective treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related conditions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based treatment that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It focuses on developing coping strategies to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress by promoting healthier thinking and behavior. CBT is goal-oriented, structured, and effective for a variety of mental health conditions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop coping skills. It is particularly effective for conditions such as borderline personality disorder, self-harm, and emotional dysregulation. DBT emphasizes skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals cope with the emotional, physical, and psychological effects of loss. It provides support in processing grief, adapting to life changes, and finding meaning after loss. Techniques may include talk therapy, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness to facilitate healing and adjustment. Grief therapy is beneficial for those experiencing complicated or prolonged grief.
