Therapies
The evidence-based therapies we use
We use modalities that meet two tests: randomized-trial support for the conditions we treat, and trainable, supervisable practice so we deliver them consistently. Each is one tool within an integrated plan — never a stand-alone fix.
Modalities we deliver
These are the therapies adults encounter in our PHP, IOP, and Virtual IOP programs. We match the approach to your condition, history, and goals, and we treat co-occurring substance use as part of the same plan rather than handing you off to a separate program.
Cognitive & behavioral
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills
Emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills for intense emotions.
Behavioral Activation
Structured re-engagement with rewarding activity — a front-line tool for depression.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative approach that meets you where you are about change.
Relapse Prevention
Skills to recognize triggers and high-risk situations and respond before a slip.
Trauma-focused
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Structured cognitive processing of the trauma narrative and stuck points.

A thorough diagnostic assessment by a psychiatrist or psychiatric NP.
How modalities fit together
No single therapy does everything. A typical plan combines structured group skills work (CBT or DBT), individual sessions for deeper work, medication management when indicated, and — for trauma — staged reprocessing with EMDR or trauma-focused CBT once you are stabilized.

Therapies FAQ
How do you decide which therapy I will get?
We match the approach to your condition, history, and goals, assessed at intake — and most plans combine several. A typical week pairs structured group skills work (CBT or DBT) with individual sessions and, when indicated, medication management. No single therapy is used as a stand-alone fix.Can I start trauma therapy like EMDR right away?
Usually not on day one. Front-line trauma therapies such as EMDR and trauma-focused CBT are delivered after stabilization — building sleep, safety, and distress-tolerance first — because reprocessing before someone can tolerate it is a leading cause of dropout. We stage the work and begin when you and your team agree you are ready.Do you offer medication along with therapy?
Yes. A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner provides medication management when it is part of the plan, integrated with your therapy rather than handled by a separate provider. Medication is one tool among several — we do not over-medicate.
