A:  The clinicians at Providence Psychology Services all provide treatment that is empirically supported, with strong scientific evidence for its effectiveness at improving the quality of life and functioning of people suffering from a wide variety of difficulties. As such, we practice mostly:
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify and develop skills to control them.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses primarily on promoting psychological flexibility, a characteristic that allows people to lead rich, full, and vital lives.
You should talk with your clinician about what kind of treatment would be best for you and your circumstances.
