OUR APPROACH
Rivercrest Wellness uses an eclectic blend of modalities. Some of the primary theoretical approaches include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Training & Somatic Processing. Our clinicians also are Level 1 Gottman trained.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy. It can help manage mental health conditions and emotional concerns.
CBT has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
Studies show that CBT outperforms antidepressant medication for the treatment of depression.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of mindful psychotherapy that helps you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment.
ACT is a psychotherapy approach to improve your relationship with your thoughts and emotions.
ACT provides support for individuals by promoting psychological flexibility, helping them accept themselves and their experiences, and encouraging a lifestyle aligned with their core values.
Somatic Processing & Mindfulness Training
Somatic processing is a therapeutic approach that tackles both the psychological and physical symptoms of trauma.
Somatic therapy engages the mind-body connection to express deeply painful or traumatic experiences, applying healing to aid with trauma recovery.
Therapists use somatic interventions to help calm their clients' nervous system, and create more ease in the healing process.
Mindfulness, or increasing one’s awareness and connection with self through active reflection, has been shown to improve self-control, objectivity, affect tolerance, enhanced flexibility, equanimity, improved concentration and mental clarity.
