CBT explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify unhealthy patterns. Our therapists help clients develop constructive thinking patterns that produce healthier behaviors. This evidence-based approach effectively treats depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders while improving brain functioning through structured sessions.

DBT combines CBT principles with acceptance-based strategies to treat complex mental health conditions. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, our adapted approach helps clients balance acceptance and change through skill-building in coping methods and mindfulness practices for lasting recovery.
