Modalities Offered By Saltwood Mental Health

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns, clients can develop healthier perspectives and more effective ways of responding to life's challenges.

Dialectical behavior therapy helps clients build skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier communication. We use DBT to support clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, stress, or relationship challenges.

Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, is a psychotherapy approach that helps people respond more flexibly to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking action guided by personal values. ACT focuses on acceptance, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and meaningful behavior change.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy approach that helps adults process distressing memories and experiences that continue to trigger emotional reactions. Treatment uses guided bilateral stimulation within a clinician-led process designed to reduce distress and support healthier responses to past experiences.

Exposure and response prevention therapy, or ERP, is a structured psychotherapy approach that helps adults gradually face feared thoughts, situations, or triggers while reducing compulsive or avoidant responses. ERP is commonly used for obsessive-compulsive symptoms and related anxiety patterns.

Internal Family Systems therapy, or IFS, is a psychotherapy model that helps adults understand different emotional and protective parts of themselves with greater curiosity and compassion. IFS explores how these parts interact and supports a steadier relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and past experiences.

Interpersonal therapy, or IPT, is a structured form of interpersonal psychotherapy that helps adults understand how relationships and major life events affect mood. Treatment commonly focuses on relationship conflict, grief, role transitions, communication, and building stronger social support.

Somatic Experiencing therapy is a body-oriented approach that helps adults notice and work with physical responses connected to stress, shock, and trauma. Treatment focuses on nervous system awareness, physical sensations, and gradual regulation without requiring every difficult experience to be retold in detail.

Mindfulness therapy helps adults develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without reacting to them automatically. Treatment can support stress management, emotional regulation, and a more grounded response to difficult internal experiences.

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where several adults meet with one or more clinicians to work on shared mental health concerns in a structured setting. Sessions can support coping skills, communication, self-awareness, and connection with people facing similar challenges.

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps family members improve communication, address conflict, understand relationship patterns, and respond to mental health challenges affecting the family. It may be used when recurring conflict, emotional distress, major life changes, or one member's mental health condition is affecting relationships or family functioning.

Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy for two partners who want to change how they handle conflict, rebuild trust after it has been broken, and feel closer again. It works on the specific back-and-forth between a couple rather than either person alone, and it can also help when one partner's anxiety, depression, or trauma is straining the relationship.

Behavioral activation helps clients re-engage with meaningful activities that support mood, motivation, and daily functioning. This approach can be especially helpful for depression, low energy, isolation, and patterns of avoidance.

Exposure and response prevention helps clients gradually face feared thoughts, situations, or triggers while reducing compulsive or avoidant responses. We use ERP to help clients build tolerance, confidence, and a greater sense of control.

Prolonged exposure therapy helps clients process trauma-related memories, fears, and avoidance patterns in a structured way. We use this approach carefully and respectfully to support healing from trauma and reduce distress over time.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. We may use TMS as part of a broader treatment plan for clients who could benefit from additional support beyond traditional therapy.

Experiential therapy helps clients process emotions through guided activities, reflection, and active participation. We use this approach to support self-awareness, emotional expression, and a deeper connection to the healing process.
