Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Anxiety

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful tool for managing intense and overwhelming emotions and is often used with individuals who experience chronic anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and panic attacks. It has also been proven to be highly effective with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is a personality disorder categorized by extreme mood instability and intense unstable interpersonal relationships. DBT teaches practical skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. When applied to anxiety, DBT can help clients develop healthier responses to stress and fear, while increasing resilience and emotional control.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for General Anxiety Disorder

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the best ways to treat general anxiety disorder (GAD). CBT helps people find and challenge the negative thought patterns that make them worry too much. Our therapists can help clients learn how to spot unhelpful thought patterns and challenge and re-frame them. They can also help clients come up with ways to solve problems and stop avoiding things. If you use it regularly, you may be able to get rid of the persistent, uncontrollable worry that comes with GAD for good.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Family Therapy(CFBT)

When one person has anxiety or mood problems, the whole family often feels the effects. A lot of therapists employ Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy (CBFT) for this reason. A way to improve communication, lower conflict, and strengthen relationships by combining CBT techniques with family-based tactics. It looks at how attitudes and actions in the family affect emotional health. CBFT is especially helpful for teens and young adults since it helps them heal and stay stable in the long run.

EMDR & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

For clients who have experienced trauma or struggle with both anxiety and PTSD symptoms, EMDR Therapy which is often integrated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, may be helpful. This approach combines the structured, thought-focused work of CBT with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a technique proven to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories. EMDR helps one to reprocess trauma, while CBT provides practical tools to manage anxiety in daily life.
