Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

CPT is a carefully structured program recognized for its effectiveness in helping people overcome Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Esteemed organizations, including the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense, along with the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies, recommend it as a top method for treating PTSD. If you find yourself struggling with the aftermath of traumatic experiences, we will use CPT's proven ability to provide relief and healing and guide you toward a path of recovery and resilience. We will work together to help you understand and process the impacts that the traumatic event(s) have had on your life, help you identify your problematic thinking patterns, and help you regain a sense of control.

Presurgical Evaluations

We conduct presurgical psychological evaluations for patients under consideration for implantable therapies (i.e., spinal cord stimulator, intrathecal pump, etc.) and bariatric surgery. These evaluations help to identify psychosocial and behavioral barriers to potential treatments.

Treatment Approach Glossary

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a results-driven form of therapy based on the notion that our emotional and behavioral reactions to a situation are strongly influenced by how we think about and perceive that situation. CBT provides practical tools to help you identify and change the thought patterns and behaviors that are holding you back. It's like having a map and compass for navigating through the challenges of your mind, guiding you toward healthier thinking and actions. By exploring and adjusting how you view the world and yourself, CBT empowers you to take control of your emotions and responses, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a compassionate approach to therapy that teaches you to embrace difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences rather than fighting or feeling ashamed of them. It's like learning to sail on the ocean of your inner world, understanding that you can navigate even the stormiest of waters by accepting your feelings and committing to actions that align with your deepest values. Through ACT, you'll discover how to live a rich, full, and meaningful life, not by eliminating difficulties but by building a greater capacity to handle life's inevitable ups and downs.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a soothing practice that teaches you to calm your mind and body by paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It's like learning to sit quietly in the eye of life's storms, observing your thoughts and feelings as they pass by like clouds, helping you find peace amidst chaos. Through MBSR, you'll learn techniques to reduce stress, enhance your ability to cope with illness and difficult emotions and improve your overall well-being and resilience, guiding you toward a more serene and balanced life.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a psychological treatment approach that helps you understand and change how your brain interprets pain, teaching it to perceive pain signals differently. It's like reprogramming a misfiring alarm system in your body, guiding you toward recognizing that certain pain may not signify harm. Through PRT, you'll embark on a journey of rediscovering comfort and movement as you learn techniques to diminish your pain and reclaim a life not defined by it.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a thoughtful approach designed to help you work through troubling memories and feelings, especially those related to traumatic experiences. It's like gently untangling knots in a necklace, where each knot represents thoughts and beliefs shaped by past trauma. Through CPT, you'll learn to carefully examine and reframe these thoughts, paving the way for healing and allowing you to embrace a future where your past no longer holds the same power over your present.
