Evidence-based approaches
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Pairs acceptance with change. Especially useful when emotions feel too big to ride out without acting on them.
Trauma-informed care
Trauma-Informed Care. Approaches addiction as something layered on top of unprocessed trauma, not in isolation. Pacing matters more than confrontation.
Anger management
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
Brief intervention
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
Motivational interviewing
Motivational Interviewing. A collaborative conversation that strengthens your own reasons for change rather than arguing you into it.
Relapse prevention
Relapse Prevention. Identifies your specific high-risk situations, warning signs, and choice points. Then builds a written, rehearsed plan for each so the moment is not the first time you decide.
Substance use disorder counseling
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
Telemedicine/telehealth therapy
Telehealth Therapy. Real clinical sessions delivered over video. Same evidence base as in-person care for most conditions; meets you where you actually are instead of where the office is.
Trauma-related counseling
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
