Evidence-Based Practices

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a commonly used talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy. CBT assists you in becoming aware of incorrect or negative patterns of thinking, emotional response, or behavior and substituting them with desirable patterns of thinking, emotional response, or behaviors. CBT is a tool that can be used in combination with other evidence-based practices and is an effective tool to help manage life circumstances. 

Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based treatment used throughout the world. The purpose of MI is to assist in exploring a Clients ambivalence, enhance motivation and commitment to change, and support the Clients independence to make a positive behavioral change(s). 

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) also known as Solution-Focused Therapy, is a brief goal-focused therapy that assists Clients in discovering, clarifying, and accomplishing their own solutions to the problem at hand. Throughout this therapy, the Client will set clear, concise, and realistic goals to treat the problem. 

Strengths-Based Therapy focuses on the Clients internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than their weaknesses, failures, or shortcomings. Strengths-Based Therapy helps the Client become more aware of and better able to explore and apply their strengths. 

Person-Centered therapy is talk therapy that is client-focused. In this type of therapy, the client does most of the talking, and the therapist will restate your words to understand your thoughts and feelings, while also helping you hear what you have said and understand your thoughts and feelings. This allows the Client the opportunity to clarify what they have said and to express thoughts and feelings without thinking the therapist is passing judgment. Person-Centered allows the Client to discover themselves and engage in self-acceptance and is a positive means of healing and growth.
