Professional Help for Your Peace of Mind
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 20% of Americans were living with a mental illness, and in 2020, that percentage had doubled to 40% of Americans reporting mental health issues. Furthermore, in 2008 that percentage was 18%. It took 11 years for that percentage to increase, and that was only by 1 point. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is more important now than ever before to seek out mental health treatment. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma as well as other mental illnesses are all manageable. Still, it is crucial to talk to a professional as soon as you see signs to not disrupt your life.

Read below to learn more about our most commonly used treatment methods
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT, is a modified type of cognitive behavior therapy. This type of therapy teaches people to live in the moment, coping skills for stress, regulate emotions, solve relationship problems, and form healthy new relationships.
Initially, this type of therapy was developed to treat borderline personality disorder but has been discovered to help those having difficulty with emotion regulation or showing signs of self-destructive behavior such as eating disorders and substance abuse disorders. Additionally, this type of therapy has been used on occasion to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (mindfulness therapy) is a type of psychotherapy that combines cognitive therapy, meditation, and mindfulness. This modality was meant to build upon cognitive therapy, integrating it with a program to form mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, or EMDR, is a psychotherapy treatment intended to relieve one's distress associated with traumatic memories. The therapeutic technique facilitates the accessing and processing of the traumatic memories and other adversity in finding an adaptive resolution.
