SPECIALIZED INTERVENTIONS
ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY
ART incorporates a combination of techniques used in many other traditional psychotherapies. ARTworks directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur during dreaming. Although techniques similar to these are used in other types of therapies. ART’s very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. ART combines long respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by current scientific research studies conducted by the University of South Florida.

EQUINE THERAPY
Equine Therapy (also referred to as Horse Therapy, Equine-Assisted Therapy, and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy) is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions between patients and horse. It involves activities (such as grooming, feeding, haltering and leading a horse) that are supervised by a mental health professional, often with the support of a horse professional. The goal of equine therapy is to help the patient develop needed skills and attributes, such as accountability, responsibility, self-confidence, problem-solving skills, and self-control. Equine therapy also provides an innovative milieu in which the therapist and the client can identify and address a range of emotional and behavioral improvements.

CANINE THERAPY
Canine-assisted therapy uses dogs to promote health and healing. Like other animals, dogs are accepting, comforting and non-judgmental, making them ideal therapy companions. In canine therapy, patients may: learn to give a dog commands, walk and play with a dog, or pet and care for a dog. Canine therapy can be immensely healing. Children and teens respond particularly well to canine therapy, developing trust and strong bonds with the animals. Many find it easier to open up and talk when the focus is on the dog. The therapist working with the patient can gain valuable insights by observing the interactions between patients and their canine companions. More info here.
ECO THERAPY
Ecotherapy is based on the idea that people are connected to and impacted by the natural environment. It can consist of walking, hiking, cycling or meditating in nature. Ecotherapy can be especially beneficial for those with depression, anxiety, stress or other emotional issues. Read more about its benefits here.
TELE-COUNSELING
Video counseling provides behavioral health therapy in the privacy of your own home. It allows greater flexibility for clients who travel for work, have changing schedules not always allowing for consistent in-person sessions, identify transportation as a barrier to care, and more! It is 100% HIPPA compliant and in many cases provides more privacy than traditional in-person therapy. More about virtual therapy here.
