Mental Health Treatments in South Florida

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

Our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Boca helps to address problems with a proactive approach. This therapy doesn’t dig up the past, but rather focuses on the future. Patients learn how to solve many of life’s problems by changing thought patterns or habits. Therapists will sit with the patient and work together to identify the patient’s problems. Then, the therapist will help identify how new patterns of thought or behavior can address these problems.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy helps patients find a balance between opposing views in their lives. It utilizes two major techniques to help patients accept and regulate their emotions to better change behaviors. Acceptance techniques help patients understand why they engage in certain behaviors. Change techniques help patients replace these unwanted behaviors with more positive actions.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFT)

Our Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for mental health takes a solution-based, rather than problem-solving, approach to therapy. Typically, it is used in conjunction with other therapies. The therapist helps the patient understand the core idea that change is constant, and the future is more important than one’s history. SFT helps patients build solutions to reach their goals.

Reality Therapy

Our Reality Therapy program in Boca focuses on the here and now, rather than digging up the past. With this therapy, patients focus on making sure basic needs are met. Reality therapy asserts that mental distress is not caused by mental illness, but rather it is caused by failure to have basic psychological needs met.

This program can help patients in many ways. It acts as a self-help approach and gives patients more effective control over their lives. This helps boost confidence and self-esteem, thus improving coping mechanisms as well. With this mental health treatment method, patients are better able to control their thoughts and actions while ensuring their basic needs are met.

Group Therapy

Group therapy involves two or more patients as well as one or more therapists working together towards a common goal. This therapy approach is especially effective for psychotherapy methods, as it helps several patients identify and address their challenges in a supportive communal setting. Group therapy is also more cost-effective for many patients.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Our Motivational Interviewing therapy in Boca works to give patients hope for the future. Setting and achieving big goals can be overwhelming for anyone, but this method can help make matters seem more doable. In this therapy approach, patients and therapists work together to set goals. Then, the therapist helps the patient understand what they need to do to achieve those goals. This therapy is patient-driven and very verbal, helping to make the changes more attainable.

Pet Therapy

Our Boca pet therapy for mental health includes visits from trained therapy animals. Time spent with these animals can drastically improve a patient’s overall mental health as well as encourage patients to be more open during treatment.
