Psychotherapy is a general term for addressing mental health concerns by talking with a mental health professional. It aims to increase a sense of your own well-being. Psychotherapists employ a range of techniques and approaches to improve your overall mental health and state of well-being.
Family therapy is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples to nurture change and development. The change is seen in the improved interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach. It contains elements of many effective therapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximize treatment effects. These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies.
EMDR psychotherapy uses an eight phase approach to address a wide range of symptoms. During treatment bilateral eye movement is used to reprocess past memories and present triggers, or anticipated future experiences. Clients generally experience the emergence of insight, changes in memories, or new associations.
After EMDR processing, clients generally report that the emotional distress related to the memory has been eliminated. These emotional and cognitive changes usually result in spontaneous behavioral and personal change, which are further enhanced with standard EMDR procedures.
Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post traumatic stress. However it is also effective in treating the following conditions:
- panic attacks
- grief
- dissociative disorders
- traumatic memories
- phobias
- pain disorders
- eating disorders
- performance anxiety
- sexual and/or physical abuse
- body dysmorphic disorders
Play therapy is generally employed with children and adolescents, and provides a safe way for them to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others.
Sand Play Therapy is a therapeutic modality for children & adults based on the work of C.G. Jung. It involves using miniature figures and the arrangement of the sand in the area bounded by the sandbox, to set up a world corresponding to the client’s inner state. It is useful for identifying and reconciling the internal conflicts, and through free and creative play, the unconscious processes are made visible in a three-dimensional form.
Sandplay therapy establishes a safe and protected space, where the complexities of the inner world are explored and integrated into the psyche for emotional healing. As materials contained in the unconscious emerges in the sand tray, it is integrated into the sense of self and can be activated to elicit behavioral change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach, a talking therapy that aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure.
Often particular technique-driven, direct, and time-limited treatments are provided for specific psychological disorders. CBT is used in individual or family therapy, as well as group settings.
