Why therapy?
Types of therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT addresses negative thought patterns or problematic thoughts and helps you to exchange them for more healthy thought patterns. The idea behind CBT is that certain feelings or beliefs you have about yourself or situations in your life often lead to the distress you may have. This distress can contribute to the mental health issues you may be experiencing.
Playtime with Therapeutic Benefits
Play therapy is a form of child therapy used to help children who may not be able to process their own emotions or articulate problems to parents or other caregivers. Play therapy is particularly helpful to assist a child to learn about self-respect, alleviate feelings of anxiousness, improve social skills, take responsibility for their behaviors, and strengthen emotions.
Solution Focused Therapy
The technique of solution-focused therapy involves assisting you to find solutions to resolve current challenges in an effort to offer hope to find quicker resolution in the future. While clients understand what they need to do, a therapist can assist with coaching and guidance, as you move closer toward finding the best solutions.
