Individual, Family and Group Therapy

How individual therapy works

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring and confidential environment to explore their feelings, beliefs or behaviors, work through challenging or prominent memories, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals and work toward desired change.

From coping with major life struggles or childhood trauma, to dealing with psychological and emotional disorders, to simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge, Healing Bridges got your back. We will work with you to identify your unique needs and personal goals for therapy.

How family therapy works

Family therapy is a process where all members of a family are invited to participate in therapy to identify problematic behaviors between children, parents and loved ones.

Healing Bridges will help your family come together as a team and encourage open communication without judgement. We are prepared to improve your family dynamic through our evidence-based techniques.

How group therapy works

Group therapy is a process that involves one or more therapists working with several people at the same time. Healing Bridges encourages clients to receive support and encouragement from other members in the community. We strive to instill hope to those who could be struggling by allowing people to practice behaviors and actions within the security of a group. Group therapy also acts as a reminder to members that they are not alone in their recovery journey. Each member will be able to foster feelings of success and accomplishment with one another.

Applied techniques

At Healing Bridges, our licensed therapists are trained in a number of therapy techniques, many in which are practiced when processing a given situation or set of symptoms. The most common applied techniques include:

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – teaches clients how thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other and encourages feelings to work in a positive manner. CBT helps people practice skills and strategies to make the appropriate changes needed in one’s life and handle problems in the future.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – teaches clients to cope and regulate severely unstable emotions and harmful behaviors. DBT helps clients learn acceptance and mindfulness while managing emotions and building relationships with others.
• Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) – teaches children, adolescents and adult survivors who are struggling to overcome the damaging effects of early trauma. TF-CBT is especially sensitive to the unique problems of severe hardships, post-traumatic stress and mood disorders resulting from abuse, violence or grief.
• Person-Centered Therapy – encourages clients to take the lead in the therapeutic process to discover their own solutions. The therapist will act as the facilitator in discussions by listening without judgment and supporting the self-discovery process.
