Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. This evidence-based approach involves working closely with a licensed therapist to develop coping skills and strategies for managing symptoms. CBT is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Through CBT, patients learn to challenge distorted thinking, reframe negative thoughts, and develop healthier behavioral responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on teaching patients skills to manage emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. At the Sterling Institute, our comprehensive DBT program includes individual therapy sessions, skills training groups, and phone coaching to provide continuous support. DBT is particularly effective for individuals with borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideation, and self-harming behaviors, helping them achieve greater emotional stability and improve their overall quality of life.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy is an introspective approach that delves into the unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts that influence an individual’s behavior and emotions. This form of therapy helps patients gain deep insight into their past experiences and relationships, allowing them to understand how these factors shape their current thoughts and behaviors. Our therapists guide patients through this process, fostering personal growth, emotional healing, and the development of healthier coping mechanisms. Psychodynamic therapy is beneficial for addressing complex mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a short-term, structured psychotherapy that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication patterns to alleviate symptoms of depression and other mood disorders. Our IPT specialists work with patients to identify and address problematic relationship dynamics, enhance communication skills, and build stronger social support networks. By addressing issues such as grief, role transitions, and interpersonal conflicts, IPT helps patients improve their relationships and achieve better mental health outcomes.

Child Therapy

Child Therapy is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of children and adolescents. Our experienced child therapists utilize a variety of techniques, including play therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and family therapy, to help young patients manage emotional and behavioral challenges. We work closely with families to create a supportive environment that promotes the child’s development and well-being. Child therapy can address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral problems, and trauma, providing children with the tools they need to thrive.
