Treatment modalities and scope of practice​

​

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life (APA, 2019). CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.

​

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) – is a brief, attachment-focused psychotherapy that centers on resolving interpersonal problems and symptomatic recovery. It is an empirically supported treatment (EST) that follows a highly structured and time-limited approach and is intended to be completed within 12–16 weeks.

​

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) - a flexible, stage-based therapy that combines principles of behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and mindfulness. It establishes a “dialectic” between helping individuals to accept the reality of their lives and their own behaviors on the one hand and helping them learn to change their lives, including dysfunctional behaviors, on the other. Its underlying emphasis is on helping individuals learn both to regulate and to tolerate their emotions (APA, 2022).

​

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy –  focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, by identifying patterns which perpetuate difficulties; with a goal of reducing symptoms and helping people lead healthier lives.
