Psychotherapy Approaches in Combination with Medication Management:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): The cognitive model asserts situations we experience are actually less important than the characteristics of our thoughts and perceptions of those situational experiences. The nature of automatic thoughts and perceptions have greater influence on our mood, anxiety and associated physical states. The cognitive model is an evidenced based approach using cognitive reframing strategies shown to be effective in helping us manage emotions, feelings, behaviors, and physical experiences. At White Hart PMH, CBT is used to target depression, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): MI is an evidence-based method that utilizes the Transtheoretical Model of Change and talk therapy focused on motivations and ambivalence for change. It is often used to explore and meet desired goals associated with substance use issues including alcohol, nicotine, THC, and additional substances of choice which may be hindering functionality in social, professional, and other areas of life. The most important aspect of MI is that the process if primarily driven by the goals and hopes of the client.
- Talk Therapy: Treatment goals are set collaboratively between the provider and client. While these goals help guide discussions and progress, the approach remains flexible and client-led, allowing for open exploration. Clients may experience emotional release (catharsis), gain insight into their feelings, and develop problem-solving skills. Throughout therapy, the provider may offer observations on the client’s thoughts, beliefs, and personal narratives to foster self-awareness and growth.
Integrated Care Approaches:
- Acudetox 5-point Ear Acupuncture: This complementary treatment is offered free of charge to clients with a history of substance use. Acudetox may help reduce cravings, stabilize mood, ease anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep disturbances related to both acute and prolonged withdrawal.
- Health and Wellness Planning: Improved mental health and wellness require a focus on multiple dimensions of health, physiologic, psychologic, and healthy lifestyle. Designing a sustainable health and wellness plan focuses on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: activity, nutrition, sleep, stress resilience, social connections, and avoidance of risky substances.
- Meditation Instruction: Meditation is a simple yet powerful tool to regain inner calm, especially when stress leaves you feeling anxious, tense, or overwhelmed. Whether you're new to meditation or have tried it before with limited success, there’s a method that can work for you—even if you struggle with finding time, restless thoughts, or focus. Various techniques can help overcome common challenges, and meditation can be adapted to fit different settings and activities. You can practice it while walking, waiting, running, or even during a workout, making it a flexible part of your daily life.
