acceptance and commitment therapy near me

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

The goal of ACT is to focus on changing one’s actions rather than thoughts and feelings. Patients are taught to identify core values and work on creating goals that satisfy these values. We teach patients to separate themselves from emotions and accept that pain and anxiety are a normal part of life. The goal isn’t to feel good, but to live a real life. Through living a regular life, our patients realize they do start to feel better.

family-based treatment​ near me

Family-based Treatment

Also known as the Maudsley Method. This is a home-based approach that has been shown to be effective for patients (especially adolescents) with anorexia and bulimia. Instead of focusing on the cause of the eating disorder initial focus is on refeeding and full weight restoration to encourage recovery. All family members are a necessary part of treatment, which consists of re-establishing healthy eating, restoring weight and stopping compensatory behaviors; returning control of eating back to the patient; and focusing on remaining issues.

Best Suited For

  • Best Suited For
  • Family conflict and communication issues
  • Parenting challenges and behavioral problems
  • Major life transitions affecting the whole family
  • Sleep disorders and insomnia

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) contextualizes symptoms as occurring and being supported within a social and interpersonal context. IPT is associated with specific tasks and strategies linked to the resolution of a specified interpersonal problem area. The four problem areas include grief, interpersonal role disputes, role transitions, and interpersonal deficits. IPT helps patients to improve relationships and communication and resolve interpersonal issues in the identified problem area(s), which in turn results in a reduction of symptoms.

Best Suited For

  • Depression, especially related to relationship issues
  • Grief and bereavement
  • Major life transitions (divorce, job loss, retirement)
  • Social anxiety and interpersonal difficulties

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

The psychodynamic approach holds that recovery requires understanding the root cause of the problem. Psychodynamic psychotherapists view behaviors as the result of internal conflicts, motives, and unconscious forces. If behaviors are discontinued without addressing the underlying motives that are driving them, then relapse will occur. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the underlying needs and are often resolved with the completion of working through given issues.

Best Suited For

  • Long-standing depression and anxiety
  • Relationship patterns and difficulties
  • Complex trauma and childhood issues
  • Personality disorders
  • Self-exploration and personal growth
