Cognitive behavioral Therapy

Many of us have thoughts and behaviors that are not helpful to our overall well-being and can contribute to issues such as anxiety, depression, SUDs, stress, negative self-image, and low-self-esteem. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methodology, we help you to identify these unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors and recognize how they negatively affect your emotions and life overall.We will help you develop skills designed to challenge these negative beliefs, and promote sustainable changes so that the way you think and behave moving forward are more aligned with the meaningful change you seek.

Stress Management

With life’s increasing demands, we all deal with stress to some degree in our lives. Experiencing stressful situations can elicit what is referred to as the “stress response,” which is essentially the “fight or flight” reaction our bodies experience. Frequent stress can not only have negative consequences for our long-term physical health, but can also significantly impact our psychological health; exacerbating and contributing to the development of issues such as anxiety, depression, and SUDs. Survivors of trauma are often in the stress response with concerning frequency. At ARISE, we believe that learning skills to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of the stress response is critical to an overall healthy well-being. We will guide you in identifying and implementing evidence-based skills and techniques that have been shown to put your body into the relaxation response, counteracting the stress response. You can find more in-depth information from Harvard Medical School on this here.

acceptance and commitment therapy

ARISE also utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Put simply and briefly, ACT teaches an individual to accept unhealthy/unwanted thought patterns as simply being thoughts without having any real power over you. It also encourages individuals to view their unpleasant feelings similarly; to accept them as being there instead of fighting them. ACT utilizes mindfulness-based skills in order to help individuals learn to experience their thoughts and feelings in this manner. Through the commitment component of ACT, a person commits to behaviors that are in alliance with their identified long-term goals and values. ACT has been shown to be effective in treating multiple mental health disorders. Individual’s with chronic intrusive (unwanted) thoughts and worry (anxiety) are some of the many folks who have can benefit from ACT.
