Evidenced-Based Practices & Interventions

Neurofeedback (Passive Training) is conducted using Neuro-Gen HPN technology. Neuro-Gen HPN is a tested, noninvasive process that assists clients in achieving optimal brain functioning--without effort or engagement. Neuro-Gen HPN is modern neuroscience made practical; it is research-supported and effective in training the brain without the use of medication, as well as treating a vast number of mental health disorders and/or personal challenges.

Active Neurofeedback is a brain-based form of biofeedback that utilizes brainwave patterns to teach clients how to approach and perform tasks with greater efficiency. Clients are actively engaged in a video exercise that facilitates visual and auditory rewards when they are fully present, focused, and attentive within the exercise. The brain then becomes aware of this more optimal way of functioning and corrects itself by learning these new optimal patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a robust approach in identifying faulty and maladaptive belief systems that drive  automatic thought patterns and evoke reactive emotional responses that give rise to unwanted behaviors. Clients are assisted in exploring the origin of maladaptive belief systems and automatic thoughts, and are supported in replacing them with objective and realistic goals for new beliefs, thoughts, emotional responses, and behavior.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic intervention that utilizes rhythmic left-right (bilateral) stimulation via tactile sensations, or auditory sounds, or visual stimuli. EMDR is effective for helping people reorganize and resolve disturbing thought processes and recover from trauma and other distressing experiences in life. EMDR is an activating intervention that first requires a solid foundation of grounding and stabilization.

In narrative therapy, emphasis is placed on stories clients develop and carry with them throughout their lives. Narratives influence how we see and relate to ourselves, others, and the world. Some narratives are helpful in achieving our purposeful goals in life; other narratives can be unhelpful and thwart our progress and purpose in life, and leave us feeling stuck. In Narrative Therapy, stories are deconstructed into smaller parts to explore meaning and influential messages.

Transgenerational Family Therapy attends to patterns and dynamics that transfer across two or more generations This intervention pays close attention to how the past impacts the present. It focuses on how families develop relational and behavioral patterns in response to stress that prohibit healthy development and lead to greater problems. Individuals and families are assisted to identify and develop new ways of relating within the family unit and in other domains.

The therapeutic process is as much an educational and learning process as it is a healing process. Consider the famous quote by Donald Rumsfeld... "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." Psychoeducation is a powerful and effective intervention to facilitate learning and relearning in the unknown areas of our lives.
