DBT
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive and behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices. This therapy is designed for clients who struggle with emotional, behavioral and thinking problems. Clients learn to be more mindful of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. They better manage distress and increase impulse control. They regulate their emotions and become more resilient. They improve self-respect and their interpersonal relationships. Our goal is to empower individuals and families to lead happier, healthier lives.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a comprehensive program composed of weekly individual therapy, skills training group and phone consultation.
Eva Hallstrom-Conkright, LCSW has received her training from Behavioral Tech which was founded by the creator/developer of DBT, Dr. Marsha Linehan.
The skills training group consists of four modules, which includes mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Completion of all four modules typically requires between 8-12 months meeting weekly for an 1.5 hours.

SOMATIC THERAPHY
As a form of psychotherapy, somatic therapy’s goal is affecting emotional changes via the body.
It is a combination of talk therapy in combination with mind-body exercises in a holistic approach to treating diverse mental health issues such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, substance abuse and sexual difficulties.
The theory basis is that our mind, emotions, spirit and body are interconnected and all past emotional trauma and stress impact the central nervous system causing changes in our body and body language.
After a traumatic events the nervous system can become stuck in a state of arousal, tension, or can shut down. Making the nervous system remain in that state on a chronic basis.
By developing awareness of this body-mind connection and with the use of specific interventions, this form of theory helps us release all negative emotions that have been stored in our body as a result of past negative experiences.
With your therapist, you will revive memories of traumatic experiences and observe physical responses to the memory that has been recovered.
The use of physical techniques such as relaxations exercises, deep breathing and meditation are part of the treatment to relieve symptoms.
PMT
PARENT MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Parent management training (PMT) involves educating and coaching parents to change their child's problem behaviors using principles of learning theory and behavior modification.
The goal of PMT is to decrease or eliminate a child's disruptive or inappropriate behaviors at home or school and to replace problematic ways of acting with positive interactions with parents, peers, and such authority figures as teachers.
In order to accomplish this goal, PMT focuses on enhancing parenting skills. The PMT therapist coaches parents in applying such strategies as rewarding positive behavior, and responding to negative behavior by enforcing undesirable consequences/punishment or removing rewards.
