Treatment Modalities

Skipping Stones Wellness uses a blend of different approaches depending on the client’s needs and preferences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on changing the automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen emotional difficulties, depression, and anxiety. Through this work the counselor and client will work to uncover unhealthy thought patterns. Through CBT, these thoughts are identified, challenged, and replaced with more objective, realistic thoughts. These changes can offer a healthier, more positive outlook and help a person change their behaviors and beliefs.

Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship.

Creative-Arts Therapy
Creative art therapy aims to engage the mind through various methods of creativity. Creative art therapy allows people to express how they are feeling through different mediums, such as art, music, play, or poetry.

Client-Centered Therapy:
A non-directive approach to talk therapy. It requires the client to actively take the reins during sessions, while the therapist acts mainly as a guide or a source of support for the client. It centers the client in a more positive and inclusive manner, providing deeper insight into the difficult situation they’re facing while also maximizing their ability to resolve it on their own.
