How We Get Things Done

CBT/DBT

  • CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) are two forms of psychotherapy.
  • It is structured, goal-oriented and focused on the present.
  • Starting with education, learning skills, and focusing on emotional and social aspects – CBT/DBT was developed to help people cope with extreme or unstable emotions and harmful behaviors.
  • CBT/DBT is great for anxiety, self-esteem, and depression.

Narrative Therapy

  • Narrative therapy helps separate a person from their problem.
  • Encouraging people to rely on their own skills to minimize problems that exist in their lives.
  • Personal experiences become personal stories, which bring meaning to life and shape identity.
  • Narrative therapy uses the power of personal stories to help people discover their life’s purpose.
  • This is often done by assigning that person the role of “narrator” in their own story.

Solution Focused

  • Solution Focused therapy is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach
  • It incorporates positive psychology principles and practices
  • These help clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.

Expressive Arts

  • Expressive arts therapy is a multimodal approach to therapy which may incorporate writing, drama, dance, movement, painting, and/or music. Sometimesincluding meditation and mindfulness as well.
  • People utilizing expressive arts therapy are encouraged by a therapist to explore their responses, reactions, and insights through pictures, sounds, explorations, and encounters with art processes.
  • A person is not required to have artistic ability to use or benefit from expressive arts therapy.

Group Therapy

  • Group psychotherapy is an effective form of therapy in which a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a professionally trained therapist to help themselves and one another.
  • There are many different approaches to group therapy, but they share in common creating a safe, supportive, and cohesive space to address personal, relationship, and societal issues.
