Psychotherapy is a mental health treatment that helps you navigate life decisions and challenges, deal with low self-esteem or emotional abuse, resolve family conflicts, and overcome mental health disorders, such as:
Your Huron Street Wellness Center therapist guides your therapy, encouraging you to share your experiences and explore your feelings and thoughts. They offer insight into your challenges, help you recognize ingrained habits that negatively affect your life, and teach the skills needed to create a better life.
Individual and group therapy have different approaches and goals:
Individual therapy is a private session devoted to your personal goals, working through your emotions, thoughts, concerns, and circumstances, and dealing with the specific issues and mental health needs you face.
Group therapy includes three or more people who share the same mental health disorder or a similar challenge. Groups are led by professional counselors, but people in the group learn from one another by sharing their experiences and offering advice.
The Huron Street Wellness Center therapists have extensive training and experience in many therapeutic approaches. Three therapies they frequently use include:
CBT is a group of therapies based on the principle that your thoughts and perceptions affect your emotions and behaviors. During therapy, you learn to identify and change unrealistic, distorted, or unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.
DBT focuses on identifying and healing intense emotions, finding solutions for challenges, and learning to take responsibility to reduce conflict. Your therapist teaches mindfulness and how to communicate honestly, accept and face painful emotions, and manage intense emotions.
EMDR treats the symptoms caused by trauma. It’s a structured therapy using sounds or visual cues (like tapping or finger movements) that you follow with your eyes while recalling one aspect of the traumatic event.
The movement distracts your brain and reduces your stress while your brain recalls and processes information that it didn’t deal with during or shortly after your trauma.
