In The Spotlight
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is the union between cutting-edge research and experienced clinical care.
The core tenets of CBT are that psychological distress is due in part to 1) unhelpful thoughts and, 2) unhelpful behaviors. At Mind Empowerment, we work with you to recognize, understand, and replace these thoughts and behaviors with more positive ones.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an innovative approach to therapy that seeks to rapidly relieve symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.
ART combines traditional modes of therapy with eye movements, which have been shown to reduce inhibition while traumatic memories are recalled—accelerating the therapeutic process. Because of the shorter timeline, many clients find ART to be less overwhelming than other modes of therapy.

Cutting edge approach
-
Anxiety is reduced by eye movements

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to psychological distress or other mental health issues.
Decades of research have shown that by learning to recognize, understand, and change these thoughts and behaviors, mental health can be markedly improved.
CBT also helps to develop empathy and understanding of others, problem solving skills, and confidence in your abilities.
-
Accelerated resolution therapy, or ART, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on resolving mental health concerns and past trauma on an accelerated timeline—sometimes within a single session. It works by replacing unhelpful or stress-inducing memories and mental imagery with new, more positive imagery.
-
Although your journey toward wellness and self-improvement is lifelong, we consider therapy "complete" when you have achieved your goals for therapy.
For most, this means being able to experience emotions without letting them overwhelm you and acting in your own best interest. We also hope to equip you with self-improvement knowledge and tools you can use for life.

When I went to Danielle I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. After a year with Danielle my symptoms improved drastically and I was way happier than ever. I didn't think I would ever improve but they did. Being happy is possible, don't give up. [Adolescent client]
