Spectrum therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating people with behavioral addictions, substance use disorders, and dual-diagnoses, from an attachment and trauma-informed perspective.  We offer evidence-based therapy for individuals and their families, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Task Model, and Interpersonal Neurobiology.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the basis for our treatment model and informs and guides the therapy we provide.  DBT is based on the principle that problematic, or ineffective, behavior has its roots in extremes. DBT promotes four primary skills to seek effective solutions. These include: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Our therapists are trained in trauma resolution using research-supported therapy models. We understand that early life experiences set the stage for well-functioning adults, and that disruptions in the developmental process can result in ineffective coping that creates challenges to our self-regulation and relationships. We help identify and resolve these challenges.

Conflict resolution therapy can teach you how to cope in challenging situations by helping you focus on finding solutions as you navigate conflict.

DBT offers individuals comprehensive skills to manage painful memories and emotions and decrease conflicts in their relationships. This modality focuses on 4 specific areas of therapeutic skills.

EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma.

If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life.

Life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused, and vulnerable.

We will address the symptoms of your addiction and the related areas of impaired functioning, and together we’ll structure the time and content of your ongoing recovery.
