At Beginnings Counseling & Recovery, we employ a comprehensive and integrative therapeutic approach to address the unique needs of each client. Our approach combines elements from various evidence-based counseling theories to provide the most effective treatment possible.

Core Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We utilize CBT to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach is particularly effective for treating anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.


Humanistic Therapy: Our counselors embrace the humanistic approach, focusing on clients' inherent goodness and potential for self-growth. This client-centered method empowers individuals to take control of their lives and make positive changes.

Psychodynamic Counseling: We incorporate elements of psychodynamic theory to explore how past experiences and unconscious thoughts influence current behaviors and relationships
.

ADHD Testing: We assess using clinical interviews, standardized rating scales, behavioral observations, and cognitive assessments to evaluate symptoms across multiple settings and rule out alternative explanations.

 

Specialized Techniques

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR): We employ psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help process traumatic memories and reduce associated distress.

Mindfulness-Based Interventions: We integrate mindfulness practices to help clients manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: This approach emphasizes identifying and working towards specific goals, making it ideal for clients seeking short-term, results-oriented treatment.

Holistic Counseling: We recognize the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, incorporating holistic techniques when appropriate to address all aspects of a client's well-being
.

 

Emotional Feeling Technique (Tapping): We offer a therapeutic method that combines acupressure points with verbal affirmations to alleviate emotional distress and physical symptoms.

Hypnosis: We specialize in this therapeutic technique that utilizes a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility to promote positive changes in thoughts, behaviors, and emotions

Our integrative approach allows us to tailor treatment plans to each client's unique circumstances, ensuring the most effective and personalized care possible. By combining these various therapeutic modalities, we strive to help our clients achieve lasting positive change and improved mental health.
