Which forms of psychotherapy are best for me?

The Holistic Health and Psychiatry team completes a psychiatric evaluation to determine which forms of psychotherapy are best suited for you. They discuss your lifestyle, medications, medical history, emotions, thoughts, mood, and behaviors.

What should I expect during psychotherapy sessions?

You’ll meet with a Holistic Health and Psychiatry provider for an hour weekly or as needed during psychotherapy sessions. Available forms of psychotherapy include:

Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR helps you overcome traumatic life events by moving your eyes in specific patterns as you process distressing memories with talk therapy.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is an effective technique used to overcome trauma. It’s similar to EMDR but involves less or no talk therapy. Brainspotting uses eye positioning (slowly moving your eyes by following an object) to unlock and release traumatic experiences and distressing emotions.

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)

DBT is a form of psychotherapy that combines opposite ideas. It’s highly beneficial for people who experience intense emotions, including those with borderline personality disorders.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT is a goal-oriented, structured form of psychotherapy commonly used to manage emotional concerns, depression, anxiety, and similar mental health disorders.
