Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
This is often considered to be one of the most effective treatments for anxiety and depression, but is also effective for the treatment of a range of mental health problems. CBT employs a variety of techniques that aim to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. These thought patterns may include unrealistic or negative views about oneself, unhealthy obsessions and compulsions, avoidance tactics, biased mind reading, rumination (over-thinking), and more.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
This focuses on three main areas: learning how to identify and label emotional experiences; developing new skills for managing challenging situations; and acting in accordance with your values (what in life is important to you). The goal of ACT is not simply to feel better in the short-term but rather to work through challenges head-on so that they no longer have an impact on your life or relationships.
Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship Model (DIR) Floortime
for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This treatment combines Floortime therapy (a type of play therapy), and parent education in order to help children with ASD engage in meaningful activities and connect socially with others. The extreme focus on individualized care has made DIRFloortime stand out from other ASD therapies and has been shown to be effective for both young children (ages 2-5) as well as adults over 18 years old.
