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. Experiential therapy is commonly part of inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment and may be used to help with skill-building, addressing trauma, and managing substance use triggers.
Family Therapy

Individual Therapy
North Shore Family Guidance Center provides individual counseling for adolescents and young adults at its Westbury Leeds Place location, addressing substance use concerns alongside co-occurring emotional and behavioral difficulties in a supportive outpatient setting.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event, and some people use substances to numb those emotions. Trauma-informed therapy in New York can help you address what happened and consciously create a healthier response. Trauma-informed therapy sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing a specific event, talking about emotional triggers, and learning emotional regulation and cognitive restructuring skills.
