Modalities
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT is a widely recognized and effective form of psychotherapy that can help individuals improve their mental health by addressing their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. It is a goal-oriented and collaborative approach.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is a form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma and other distressing experiences or memories that lead to depression and anxiety.
- How it works:
- Bilateral Stimulation: During EMDR therapy, individuals focus on a disturbing memory while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, which can be eye movements, tapping, or other rhythmic stimulation.
- Processing Traumatic Memories: By recalling the traumatic memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, the brain is able to process the memory in a way that reduces its emotional intensity and allows for a more adaptive resolution.
- Structured Approach: EMDR therapy follows a structured eight-phase approach, which includes history-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation
- Developed by: EMDR was developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987.
- Benefits: EMDR therapy can help individuals reduce the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories, improve their overall well-being, and enhance their ability to cope with difficult situations.
What is Grief Counseling?
It's important to remember that grief is a deeply personal experience with no universal path. Everyone navigates it in their own way. Your grief responses may include:
- Shock
- Disbelief or denial
- Anxiety
- Emotional distress
- Anger
- Moments of sadness
- Sleep disturbances
- Changes in appetite
Counseling can help you address some of the reactions as you process your new reality.
