Our Psychological Services
CBT Treatments
Cognitive behavioural therapy is a psychotherapy that helps you change how you behave and think while helping you treat OCD, depression, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. We have highly skilled and experienced CBT therapists who offer short-term, structured, present-based and result-oriented therapies. We typically recommend sessions between four weeks and six months to achieve the desired outcomes, depending on the issue you want to overcome.
DBT Treatments
Dialectical behavioural therapy is helpful if you want to manage your emotions and live a balanced life while creating positive change. During the sessions, you are not only discussing your emotions and feelings but also engaging in practices from the DBT workbook. At our clinic, you can collaborate with high-rated DBT therapists to address various issues you are dealing with, including borderline personality disorder, addictions, suicidal thinking, self-harm, etc.
REBT Treatments
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy is an action-oriented treatment that helps you manage your emotional, behavioural and cognitive disorders. We help you work with highly experienced and expert REBT therapists who help you develop coping skills to encounter lifelong changes with less stress, more satisfaction and positive behaviour while reframing negative thoughts. The therapy depends on multiple sessions spanning a few weeks and months, depending on your mental state.
EMDR Treatments
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a comprehensive therapy that encourages the patient to pay attention to the traumatic memory for a brief time while also undergoing bilateral stimulation; usually, eye movements are linked to a decrease in the emotional intensity of the traumatic memories. It helps you recover from past traumatic events affecting your physical or mental well-being. It includes using side-to-side eye movement and talk therapy in a structured way.
