Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a unique, specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was originally developed to treat adults who were chronically suicidal, self-injuring, and has been expanded to address clients who more generally exhibit symptoms of emotion dysregulation. DBT is now also being utilized for treatment of adolescents who engage in impulsive, self-injuring or suicidal behavior, and who exhibit emotion dysregulation. CCDBT has a Comprehensive Adult DBT Program and a Comprehensive Adolescent and Family DBT Program.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapy that targets unhelpful or destructive thoughts and behaviors that interact together to cause distress and problems. CBT works to replace these unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with more positive and realistic ones in order to improve an individual’s quality of life. Our clinicians can provide specialized treatment to address many problems associated with daily life. CCDBT therapists provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for symptoms of depression & sadness, anxiety & phobias, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, impulsive behaviors, and social skills deficits.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a program based on Mindfulness Meditation. Research has shown that MBSR has positive effects on: 1) Reducing the impact of stress in people’s lives that may be due to work, school, family, financial problems, aging, grief, or feeling out of control, 2) Helping people with chronic medical conditions, and 3) Helping people with emotional difficulties such as Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia. MBSR is greatly respected by medical experts. It is typically offered as an adjunct to medical treatment instead of replacing it. It is a complementary therapy that improves the effect of the leading medical treatment.
Trauma Therapy
The Trauma Treatment Program at CCDBT offers a variety of treatment options for individuals who have experienced trauma and are now experiencing the emotional aftereffects of that trauma, including thise who have been diagnosed to meet criteria for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Therapists at CCDBT can provide Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE and PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). Our therapists will work with you to determine which of these therapies would be the best fit for you and your trauma symptoms.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families on fostering strengths in family relationships and changing maladaptive communication patterns. The therapy views the family system as the unit of change rather than the individual. The family therapist facilitates interactions in a way that emphasizes the abilities, wisdom, and support of the wider system. Couple’s therapy involves counseling the parties in a relationship in an effort to identify patterns of distress, manage differences, and improve communication. CCDBT provides therapy opportunities for both families and couples to help facilitate better communication and better relationship satisfaction.
