Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy in New York involves being aware of how your thoughts are connected to your feelings and behavior. CBT is a common part of evidence-based treatment programs and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both. CBT can be empowering as you learn to manage your thoughts and emotions rather than being overwhelmed by them.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavioral therapy in New York involves embracing your strengths and building confidence in your ability to make positive changes. DBT is a common part of evidence-based treatment programs and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both.
Experiential Therapy
When you’re struggling with addiction in New York, nontraditional approaches can help you heal. Experiential therapy, which uses hands-on activities to work through emotions, is one example.
