Specialists in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was used to help clients identify, understand, and modify their beliefs so they could function more successfully. CBT operates on the concept that our beliefs, interpretations, and perceptions of life events cause our feelings, moods, and actions.

Additional Types of Counseling

The center primarily provided individual therapy. Couples therapy was available but each client was required to have an individual therapist that they met with one on one. Individually the couple shared thoughts, feelings, and the history of their relationship.

Different therapists taught each client cognitive behavioral skills. After progress was made individually, the sessions moved to combine both clients and both therapists.

Pre-marital counseling was offered in several sessions. Couples worked on communication skills and problem solving skills. Significant issues usually surfaced and were addressed in individual sessions for resolution.

Trauma Treatment with EMDR & Referrals

Trauma related disorders were treated using eye movement desensitization and restructuring. This type of therapy allows a client who is “stuck” emotionally to be able to move forward.

Although the clinic didn’t specifically treat substance use disorders, they could have treated underlying causes of substance use such as trauma, depression, or grief. The clinic could have referred clients who needed detox, residential, or intensive outpatient substance use services to a local facility.
