We do this by helping you to become more aware, to live mindfully, changing patterns of belief, thinking, and behavior to develop a conscious approach to living in the moment, one day at a time. This creates a powerful and positive connection with self, others, and all of Life.
Spectrum therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating people with behavioral addictions, substance use disorders, and dual-diagnoses, from an attachment and trauma-informed perspective. We offer evidence-based therapy for individuals and their families, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Task Model, and Interpersonal Neurobiology.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the basis for our treatment model and informs and guides the therapy we provide. DBT is based on the principle that problematic, or ineffective, behavior has its roots in extremes. DBT promotes four primary skills to seek effective solutions. These include: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Our therapists are trained in trauma resolution using research-supported therapy models. We understand that early life experiences set the stage for well-functioning adults, and that disruptions in the developmental process can result in ineffective coping that creates challenges to our self-regulation and relationships. We help identify and resolve these challenges.
