Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children (DBT-C)

EMDR therapy helps individuals recover from distressing life experiences that show up repetitively, as well as trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression and panic disorders. It is a successful, evidence-based treatment that helps to diminish the effects of these experiences.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE)
In DBT-PE, clients initially work with the therapist to establish safety and gain the skills needed to cope with addressing trauma. While continuing in all modes of standard DBT, DBT-PE then addresses memories and beliefs related to the client’s trauma history.

Emotional Fitness Program (EFP) Therapy
With a combination of psychotherapy and DBT skills work, the Emotion Fitness Program (EFP) is considered a lower-intensity alternative to DBT without the full commitment of the DBT program. EFP gives clients the space to explore current and past relationships, stresses, coping skills, and life satisfaction.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a collaborative approach that explores familial interactions, patterns, and communication styles to identify and address underlying issues. Therapists work with families to improve understanding, empathy, and support, promoting healthier relationships and coping mechanisms. Through open dialogue and structured interventions, families learn to navigate conflicts, strengthen bonds, and cultivate resilience together.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Therapy
EFT operates on the idea that the human body is like an electrical circuit with a constant flow of energy that can be disrupted by stressors. These disruptions lead to negative emotions and pain. EFT uses finger tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on the problem to restore the body’s energy balance. The tapping is meant to release negative emotions and provide relief.
