  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:  a type of psychotherapy that focuses on assisting individuals in changing negative patterns of thinking that lead to challenging behavior, depression, and other mental illnesses. The therapist will guide the individual to realize the underlying problem causing these patterns of thinking and formulate a plan of action.  Cognitive behavioral therapy uses a variety of techniques such as relaxation therapy, exposure therapy, systematic desentization, and cognitive processing therapy.  

 

  •  Dialectical Behavior Therapy:  used for many mental illnesses and patterns of challenging behavior such as self-harm, talk/thoughts of suicide, addictions, and compulsions.  This therapy aids participants in identifying the triggers that may precede harmful behaviors and teaches them how to self-regulate and control their patterns of thinking.
