Treatments
If you are almost ready to begin your journey but are wondering about the "how" behind the experience, you will find information below regarding the evidence-based treatment modalities used in an eclectic and client driven way.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
EMDR is an evidence-based treatment modality that was developed in order to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. This treatment model offers a person the opportunity to process traumatic and distressing experiences in order to achieve an adaptive resolution of their experiences.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
TF-CBT is a therapeutic treatment model in which the therapist will work conjointly with both the parent and a child in order to help a child process and move through traumatic experiences, lessening the emotional distress and disturbances that come with them. This model also helps parents develop skills that will help them cope independently and support their children through their experiences and treatment.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is an evidence-based treatment model that helps a client achieve acceptance while also working toward change in their lives, through engaging in both psychoeducation and skills training. DBT is a good fit for anyone who experiences intense emotions, significant emotional dysregulation, and has poor relational functioning.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational Interviewing is a treatment model aimed at helping those who are seeking change in their lives and struggle to find the internal motivation to do so.
Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS)
CAMS is a framework that allows a therapist to identify a person's suicidal drivers and work to reduce them in order to achieve reduced risk of suicide.
Person-Centered
Person-centered therapy is most think of when they think about therapy, specifically traditional "talk" therapy. I strive to utilize a person-centered tone throughout the duration of treatment, utilizing other treatment models and interventions in an eclectic manner, while meeting a client where they are.
