Traditional Modalities

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

CBT is an active, problem-focused, and goal-directed therapy. It is an empirically supported treatment that focuses on patterns of thinking that are maladaptive and the beliefs that underlie such thinking.


Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) it is based on the theory that individuals have internal distress that result from disconnection and stress between the individual and his/her surroundings. It focuses on how emotional vulnerability and invalid environment lead to problem behaviors and distorted thoughts. 

 

 Resiliency

It is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress. It means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences. Research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary. People commonly demonstrate resilience.

Resilience is not a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be learned and developed by anyone.

Many studies show that the primary factor in resilience is having caring and supportive relationships within and outside the family. Relationships that create love and trust, provide role models, and offer encouragement and reassurance help bolster a person's resilience.
