Empirically Supported Treatments

We are committed to offering evidence-based treatments within an evidence-based practice model. An evidence-based treatment is one that has been found to be safe and effective by numerous scientific research studies. Evidence-based practice is defined as "the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values" (America Psychological Association, 2005). Some of these treatments include, but are not limited to: 
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Emotional-Focused Therapy (EFT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD
  • Panic Control Treatment (PCT) for Panic Disorder​​
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
  • Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) for PTSD
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Behavioral Activation (BA)
  • Narrative Therapy (NT)
  • Behavioral Therapy (BT)
  • ​Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
Additional therapies are integrated into our evidence-based approaches when appropriate.  It should be noted that, while evidence-based treatments are a tool to achieve symptom remission and improved outcomes, the heart and foundation of effective therapy rests upon the relationship established between a therapist and a client. We place a high value on respecting our clients, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, and emphasize the importance of placing the client's needs, values, and goals as an invaluable catalyst for change.
