The center’s treatment draws from the latest advances in therapeutic modalities. Core components of our program include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE) Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mentalization based interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy. Family therapy is utilized to strengthen the family system. These approaches have demonstrated proven effectiveness with our population.

Our treatment approach blends traditional, experiential, and complimentary therapies in an integrated fashion. Each client receives three to five individual therapy sessions per week, four DBT groups per week, daily psychotherapy groups, various specialized groups, and nutrition counseling as needed. We offer a psychiatric assessment upon admission with ongoing medication evaluation and management.

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT)
DBT is a skill building treatment approach that emphasizes the development of four skill sets: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. All staff members are educated in the DBT model to support patients and provide therapeutic intervention on a 24-hour basis.

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING (SE) THERAPY
Somatic Experiencing therapy is aimed at relieving the symptoms of trauma by focusing on the patient’s body sensations and intervenes to help process reactions that interfere with normal day to day functioning.

EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)
EMDR is a cutting edge therapy that focuses on past trauma, the current situations that trigger problematic emotions, beliefs and sensations, and the experience needed to create adaptive resolution.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
Involving the family or significant other is an essential component of treatment. Families are supported in their process as they participate in their patient’s care.
