Cognitive Behavioral (CBT):
Cognitive behavioral therapy stresses the concept of our behavior is a direct reflection of how we feel. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause or feelings, and that our feelings direct our behaviors. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs that underlie an individual’s thought process. The therapist can then invite the client to modify these thoughts and the behaviors will change. CBT has been clinically proven to assist clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of concerns including depression and anxiety.
Person Centered:

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT):
The goal of Person Center Therapy is to provide clients with an opportunity to develop a sense of self where the client can realize how her/his attitude, feelings and behaviors are being negative affected. This approach assures that the therapist engage the client with genuineness and unconditional positive regard for the client and accurate empathy.
Relational:
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT):
Family Systems:
Relational life therapy offers strategies to combat marital dysfunction and restore harmony in relationships. Couples – including those recovering from affairs, traumatic events, or a lull in passion – can find Relational Therapy helpful. To repair these relationship issues, the therapist encourages the client to identify the main conflict upsetting the couples’ emotional intimacy. Once the partners see how they both contribute to the problem, the therapist teaches them skills to improve the ways they relate to each other.
Family Systems:
Solution Focused Brief Therapy:
Family Systems:
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of a particular members’ behaviors, but of the family’s group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
Dialectal Behavioral Therapy:
Solution Focused Brief Therapy:
Solution Focused Brief Therapy:
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) treatment is a cognitive-behavioral approach that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of treatment. The theory behind the approach is that some people are prone to react in a more intense and out-of-the-ordinary manner toward certain emotional situations, primarily those found in romantic, family and friend relationships. DBT theory suggests that some people’s arousal levels in such situations can increase far more quickly than the average person’s, attain a higher level of emotional stimulation, and take a significant amount of time to return to baseline arousal levels. Both between and during sessions, the therapist actively teaches and reinforces adaptive behaviors, especially as they occur within the therapeutic relationship. The emphasis is on teaching patients how to manage emotional trauma rather than reducing or taking them out of crises.

Solution focused therapy focuses on what clients would like to achieve through therapy rather than on their troubles or mental health issues. The therapist will help the client envision a desirable future, and then map out the small and large changes necessary for the client to reach her/his goal.

Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Coaching practitioners don’t focus on treating mental illness, instead they help individuals realize their goals and work in life. Therapeutic clinicians are educated and licensed to provide researched based interventions to resolve problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, relationship issues, and/or somatic responses (sensations in the body).
Veterans:
Brain Spotting
Brain Spotting
I have been privileged to work with our Veterans in multiple areas including the Veterans and Military Crisis Line, providing individual therapeutic support in the community, and providing group therapy in the community. In each instance, the constant is the outpouring of pride that our Veterans have for the service they provided to us and to our country.
However, that commitment to the Veteran is not always demonstrated. I remember the statement from one Veteran while expressing his disappointment in not receiving services, he said to me, “I signed a contract with my country to protect and serve, and in return they [the country] promised to provide for me when I returned; they have not kept their end of the contract.” It saddens me still to recall these words, and although I cannot alter the outcome of that contract, I can contract to serve our service women and men with the highest level of respect and integrity.
Integrative Wellness welcomes our Veterans and we are committed to serving them in the manner that demonstrates respect, support, honor and commitment. We appreciate your willingness to serve us individually and collectively as a nation that promises a place for all in “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
