Cognitive behavioral therapy

Refers to a form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns. Clients work with a therapist, either individually, in a family setting, or in a group setting, to identify and replace unproductive thoughts with more positive and realistic ones. The client is encouraged to be an active participant in the therapy process.

Couples/family therapy

Involves group sessions with a therapist at Northwest Metro VA Clinic who facilitates discussions and problem-solving activities to enhance the understanding between couples and family members and improve their relationships. This type of therapy addresses problematic behaviors that could contribute to serious mental health issues. Family therapy also provides education about mental illness, and teaches coping skills for dealing with the challenges of having a family member with a mental illness, such as managing feelings of anger or guilt.

Dialectical behavior therapy

A type of therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness strategies, with the goal of helping individuals address multiple disorders. DBT has five components, including skills training, individualized treatment plans, access to therapists beyond the clinical setting, reinforcement of adaptive behaviors, and therapist team consultation. The therapy seeks to balance behavioral change, problem-solving, and emotional regulation with validation, mindfulness, and acceptance.

Group therapy

Involves small groups, typically consisting of 4 to 12 individuals who share similar challenges, meeting regularly with a therapist at Northwest Metro VA Clinic. The therapist leverages the emotional interactions within the group to provide relief from distress and potentially modify the behavior of the group members.
