TREATMENTS

EMDR

THERAPY

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a structured therapy that encourages the client to briefly focus on the trauma memory, while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. EMDR therapy focuses directly on the memory, and is intended to change the way that the memory is stored in the brain, thus reducing and eliminating problematic symptoms. Processing of a specific memory is generally completed within one to three sessions, EMDR therapy differs from other trauma-focused treatments in that it does not include extended exposure to the distressing memory or detailed descriptions of the trauma. EMDR is conditionally recommended by the American Psychological Association.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual therapy (sometimes called “psychotherapy” or “counseling”) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained, licensed therapist—in a safe, caring, and confidential environment—to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.

 

People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons, from coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with depression or anxiety, to simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge. A client and therapist may work together for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the client’s unique needs and personal goals for therapy.

RELATIONAL

THERAPY

Relational therapy is a process through which a couple (who may be engaged, dating, married, partnered—or sometimes even parent and child or other pairings) works with a trained, licensed, therapist to identify specific areas of conflict and/or aspects of their relationship they would like to change, and then develops a plan of action to improve each individual’s satisfaction and contentment.

 

Working with a therapist in a safe and confidential setting, relationships are able to explore how their individual backgrounds, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors may be impacting their dynamic in both positive and negative ways. The therapist may assist the relationship with addressing any immediate and pressing problems, as well as developing strategies for protecting and enhancing the long-term health and happiness of their relationship.

DIAGNOSTIC

EVALUATION

Like a medical examination in which a physician evaluates a patient’s physical well-being by speaking with the patient and/or administering formal tests, a diagnostic evaluation is a process through which a mental health professional (therapist) evaluates a client’s psychological, emotional, and behavioral well-being through open dialogue and formal testing. The assessment process may involve one or both of the following:

​

* A face-to-face interview during which the therapist meets with the client (and sometimes his/her family members) to gain a rich understanding of the client’s emotions, behaviors, thoughts, coping strategies for dealing with life’s challenges, and personal strengths.

​

* One or more assessment tools that the therapist can use to gain more objective and data-driven insights regarding a client’s overall well-being.

​

With this information, the therapist can provide an appropriate diagnosis (if one is warranted) and work with the client and his/her family to set goals and develop an appropriate plan for positive change.
