Navigating Complexity with Compassion and Expertise

Everyone’s mental health needs are unique and should be treated as such. By implementing a collaborative approach with innovative, research backed treatment, we’re able to provide our patients with a fully customized therapy experience that is effective at addressing even the most complex issues.

Constructive Psychotherapy

This holistic and evidence-based psychotherapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy to address the ways in which we make meaning and construct experience through the body, language, emotion, and relationships. Our constructivist orientation to psychotherapy allows us to blend effective elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with body-oriented techniques that address how we connect with ourselves and others, and how the body stores and processes traumatic experiences. It allows us to treat problems at their roots and to help people make more immediate change. Constructivist psychotherapy helps people better regulate their emotions, recover from trauma symptoms, solve attachment and intimacy problems, and develop a stronger understanding of themselves.

DBT & DBT Groups

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, acceptance-based interventions, and mindfulness practices to help people better regulate their emotions and build healthy interpersonal relationships.

EMDR & Trauma Treatment Intensives

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) are both extensively researched and extremely effective treatments for trauma. Both are guided therapy approaches where clients recall distressing memories with support, so that they don’t become overwhelmed. This process aims to desensitize and reintegrate distressing memories, which reduces emotional intensity and promotes healing. Both are widely used and effective for a variety of trauma-related conditions.

Harm Reduction & Abstinence Based Psychotherapy

Harm Reduction and Abstinence Based Psychotherapy are two therapy treatment approaches we use to help patients struggling with substance abuse. Harm Reduction Psychotherapy guides individuals towards the healthier choices they want to make while minimizing negative impacts. Abstinence Based Psychotherapy provides structured support for those seeking a completely sober lifestyle.

Evaluations

Therapy won’t work without an accurate understanding of the problems and the correct diagnosis. We offer comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to provide accurate diagnoses and custom-tailored treatment strategies for our patients so they can reach their goals more efficiently and effectively.

What Makes Us Different?

Collaborative Care

At the Center for Effective Treatment, collaboration is in our DNA. We work together with our patients, meeting them wherever they are in their journey, addressing immediate needs while simultaneously working on deep rooted issues. Internally, our therapists work collectively as a team to develop personalized treatment plans leveraging decades of experience working with people who have complex mental health challenges.

Innovative Treatment

We’re not bound by traditional therapy methodologies. Instead, we innovate existing practices when research indicates there are more effective means. Our approach delves into solving the intricacies of each patients’ multifaceted challenges. We’re committed to uncovering the root causes and prioritize understanding core issues before addressing the behaviors they trigger. We believe laying a solid foundation for comprehensive and effective transformation paves the way for long-term sustainable mental wellbeing.
