CBT is a goal-oriented, practical therapy focused on the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and reframing negative, unhelpful thought patterns, your therapist will help you develop healthy daily coping skills and change the behaviors that hold you back.

This approach focuses on the root causes of your emotional distress. By exploring past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns of behavior, you and your therapist will gain a deeper insight into your current challenges, helping you break long-standing, repetitive cycles.

Because no single therapeutic style works for everyone, our therapists often utilize an Eclectic approach. This means they intentionally draw on tools and techniques from a variety of different modalities—such as combining the structure of CBT with the insight of psychodynamic therapy—to build a completely customized treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

At North Country Behavioral Medicine, we have several clinicians trained in EMDR therapy. EMDR is an evidence-based, highly effective psychotherapy method proven to help the brain safely process and resolve trapped, distressing traumatic memories. It is widely considered by leading medical organizations to be one of the best treatments available for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Specifically designed for our youngest patients, Play Therapy allows children to process their experiences, express their feelings, and develop vital emotional coping skills in a way that is natural to them. Through a structured, supportive environment, toys and games become the language children use to communicate what they cannot always say out loud.

DBT is a highly structured form of therapy designed to help individuals who experience intense, overwhelming emotions. It provides practical, real-world tools divided into four key categories: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
