Modalities

Your journey is customized to meet your individual needs. Our core modality is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that helps people deal with hard or scary experiences from the past. It helps them understand and think about those memories in a new way so they don’t cause as much trouble in everyday life. Additionally, we incorporate,

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts. It also teaches new ways to act and respond in different situations so they can feel better and handle problems more easily..
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) allows a deeper dive into the needs for individuals to be in the present moment and the skills to be in the here and now.
  • Additionally, Motivational Interviewing (MI) is integrated throughout the therapeutic process and used to teach stages of change and evoke the change needed to embed new skills and achieve long-term goals.

LSSI sees the above modalities as essential in providing the most effective, evidence-based practices for the treatment of trauma and the symptoms that result from traumatic experiences.

Balance Works therapists are trained in MI, CBT, DBT and EMDR at the foundational level. The Balance Works team have expertise offered by the modalities that are credentialed in each one of these areas. Therapists will be selected based on client needs, therapist expertise and caseload availability. Please contact our office for more information.
