Mental Health & Wellness
Counseling Services Overview
Our Therapeutic Approach
The primary type of therapy we use is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Research shows TF-CBT is one of the most effective treatments for children and teens who have experienced sexual abuse, and it can be effective for adults as well.
TF-CBT supports healing by:
- Strengthening healthy emotional expression
- Teaching tools for managing difficult feelings
- Building understanding of trauma and sexual abuse
- Helping individuals process and make sense of trauma
- Supporting reconnection with life in meaningful ways
If you’d like to learn more about TF-CBT, you can read more here.
In addition to TF-CBT, our therapists bring a range of specialized skills to support healing, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Play Therapy
- Sandtray Therapy
