First Responder - Service Member / Trauma Therapy
First responders must continuously deal with and be exposed to traumatic, frequently horrific incidents as part of the demands of their specialized training. Many of these incidents can have a significant, perhaps crippling, impact on a first responders’ psychological and physical wellness.
Our Approaches
In counseling, a theoretical approach is a set of protocols and preferences that guide a therapist’s work. Each approach we use is scientifically and research based to provide a framework for identifying client needs and choosing appropriate interventions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a form of psychological treatment that 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. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In numerous studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, psychiatric medications.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a structured program of psychotherapy with a strong educational component designed to provide skills for managing intense emotions and negotiating social relationships. The “dialectic” in DBT is an acknowledgment that real life is complex, and health is not a static thing but an ongoing process through a continuous dialogue with the self and others. It is aimed at balancing opposing forces and investigating the truth of negative emotions. DBT acknowledges the need for change in a context of acceptance of situations and recognizes the constant flux of feelings—many of them contradictory—without having to get caught up in them.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centered therapy, also known as Rogerian therapy or client-based therapy, employs a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in sessions such that, in the process, they discover their own solutions. During person-centered therapy, a therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience without shifting the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client without interrupting or interfering with their process of self-discovery, as they uncover what hurts and what is needed to repair it.
