Our Approach to Therapy

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches based on each patient's individual needs, experiences, and treatment goals.

Depending on your provider and treatment plan, therapeutic approaches may include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT can help individuals identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for responding to difficult situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT-informed therapy can help individuals strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps individuals develop greater psychological flexibility, clarify what is important to them, and learn new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

For individuals who have experienced trauma or distressing life events, therapy may incorporate evidence-based approaches designed to process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on everyday life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a structured therapeutic approach commonly used to address trauma and distressing experiences.

During EMDR, patients remain awake and engaged while working with a trained therapist. EMDR may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan when clinically appropriate.

Your therapist will work with you to determine which therapeutic approach best fits your individual needs and treatment goals.

Therapy and Medication Management in One Practice

Mental health treatment sometimes involves more than one approach.

Best Life Mental Health & Wellness offers therapy, psychiatric evaluations, clinical ADHD evaluations, and medication management within the same practice.

When appropriate and with the patient's permission, our therapists and medical providers can collaborate as part of a coordinated treatment approach.

For patients receiving both therapy and medication management, having these services available within one practice can make communication and continuity of care easier.

What to Expect at Your First Therapy Appointment

Your first therapy appointment is an opportunity for you and your therapist to get to know one another.

Your therapist will typically discuss what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant history, important relationships or life circumstances, and what you hope to accomplish through treatment.

Together, you can begin identifying treatment goals and developing an individualized plan for future sessions.

Therapy is a collaborative process.

Your treatment may evolve over time as your needs, circumstances, and goals change.
