Frequently Asked Questions
How does therapy work?
Behavioral health therapy is a collaborative process that supports emotional well-being, personal growth, and positive life changes. Through evidence-based approaches, individuals explore challenges, gain insight into underlying patterns, and develop practical skills to manage symptoms, improve coping, and achieve their goals.
Treatment may incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and EMDR, depending on an individual's unique needs and circumstances.
What is trauma?
Trauma is the emotional, psychological, and physiological impact of experiencing or witnessing events that are threatening, distressing or overwhelming. These experiences can affect mental health, physical well-being, relationships and daily functioning. Trauma-focused treatment helps individuals process difficult experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and restore a sense of safety, empowerment, and balance in their lives.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. Rather than focusing solely on discussing past events, EMDR helps the brain reprocess difficult memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming and disruptive.

It involves becoming aware of your thoughts, emotions and physical sensations while allowing them to exist, and without immediately trying to change them. Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress improve focus and concentration, and enhance overall-being.
