Individual, Group, & Family Therapy
- Individual: Every individual is unique, and so they face unique circumstances and challenges in recovery. In Individual therapy, the client will have an opportunity to experience one-on-one therapy to help focus on those personal elements of recovery.
- Group: Group therapy is another approach that has been proven to be extremely valuable in the recovery process. This process is when multiple clients are treated at once by at least one therapist. In some situations, groups have more than one therapist, and group sizes can vary depending on the style of therapy being employed in the session.
- Family: Family therapy is another form of therapy, often done in a group setting, where members of the family get the chance to work together with a professional therapist to address issues that have affected the client and their loved ones.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health and focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Dialectical behavior therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy that began with efforts to treat borderline personality disorder. There is evidence that DBT can be useful in treating mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm, and substance abuse.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: During EMDR therapy sessions, the patient will relive experiences in brief doses while the therapist directs their eye movements. EMDR is thought to be effective because recalling distressing events is often less emotionally upsetting when your attention is diverted.
