Types of Therapy
- Christian-based Psychotherapy - See Christian-based Psychotherapy under the Services drop down menu ( at the top of this page for details)
- Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) - Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders, including depression and anxiety.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy -
- Couples / Marital - Couple and Marital therapists work with couples both together and individually to help them improve their communication skills, build on the positive aspects of their relationships, and repair the harmful or negative aspects.
- Hypnotherapy - Hypnotherapy focuses on hypnosis, the Greek term for sleep. The practice uses exercises that relax people, bringing them to an altered state of consciousness. This process focuses on mastering self-awareness. Through trance-like analysis, hypnosis decreases blood pressure and heart rate, putting one's physical body at ease. Working with memories, hypnotherapy helps a person to reframe, relax, absorb, dissociate, respond, and reflect. The process reconstructs healthier associations with a person's past events. Dealing with a wide range of conditions, such as anxiety and depression, people become responsive to new solutions that can lead to personal development through hypnotherapy.
- Interpersonal - IPT is short-term psychotherapy in which therapists and clients identify interpersonal relationships' issues and problems. They also explore the client's life history to help recognize problem areas and then work toward ways to rectify them. Interpersonal therapy is not to be confused with transpersonal psychology, which is the study of states in which people experience a deeper sense of who they are or greater connectedness with others, nature, or spirituality.
- Motivational Interviewing - Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a method of therapy that works to engage the motivation of clients to change their behavior. Clients are encouraged to explore and confront their ambivalence. Therapists attempt to influence their clients to consider making changes rather than non-directly exploring themselves. Motivational Interviewing is frequently used in cases of problem drinking or mild addictions.
- Psychodynamic - Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapists believe that bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness promotes insight and resolves conflict like adherents of psychoanalysis. But psychodynamic therapy is briefer and less intensive than psychoanalysis and also focuses on the relationship between the therapist and the client as a way to learn about how the client relates to everyone in their life.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) - Solution-focused therapy, sometimes called "brief therapy," focuses on what clients would like to achieve through therapy rather than on their troubles or mental health issues. The therapist will help the client envision a desirable future and then map out the small and large changes necessary for the client to undergo to realize their vision. The therapist will seize on any successes the client experiences to encourage them to build on their strengths rather than dwell on their problems or limitations.
