Evidence-based mental health treatment methods, including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), EMDR, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Integrative, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) and Internal Family Systems. Simply Mindful Counseling offers therapy for adults, teens, children and couples in Plymouth, MI and Bloomfield Hills, MI. Treatment Methods Evidence Based Treatment Made Simple Psychodynamic Therapy Psychodynamic Therapy is insight-oriented and looks at how the unconscious may influence a person’s thinking and behavior. The goal of treatment is to bring about self-awareness and understanding to help a person understand how unresolved conflicts from the past may be influencing the present, causing a person to replicate unwanted patterns in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on examining relationships between your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. By exploring your thought patterns and belief systems about yourself, as well as self-destructive patterns of behavior and how they impact your feelings, mood, and general sense of wellbeing, you will learn how to regain control of your life. Research has proven CBT to be an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, and sleep disorders. Studies have shown that CBT actually changes brain activity suggesting that the brain actually improves its functioning as a result of this form of treatment. CBT is a solution focused, interactive treatment, that involves homework and practice outside of the psychotherapy session. It’s an intensive form of treatment that creates lasting change. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people who experience chronic recurrent depression. MBCT is a combination of cognitive therapy and meditative practices and attitudes that encourage mindfulness, presentness, and awareness. This treatment focuses on becoming fully acquainted with and immersed in understanding your feelings and learning to develop a new relationship with them. You will become more aware of your emotions and what triggers them. You will learn how to accept them as feelings without attaching to them or reacting to them. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is heavily based on CBT principles but emphasizes validation or acceptance of uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors instead of resisting and fighting with them. By understanding and accepting troubling thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior that have become a part of your life, change no longer feels impossible. This treatment emphasizes individual strengths, teaches acceptance, coping, self-kindness, and self-care. Research has proven DBT to be an effective treatment for producing significant and lasting change. Humanistic Therapy Humanistic Therapy is an approach that supports treating the whole self. It is self-reflective and concerned with helping people understand and integrate their subjective experiences in a way that supports basic human motives of personal growth, fulfillment, and satisfaction in life. This form of therapy builds on personal strengths, a premise of resiliency, and the belief that all people are essentially good. The focus is on maximizing these innate capacities to overcome hardship, pain, and despair in order to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. EMDR therapy helps the brain process distressing memories, and allows healing to resume. The experience is still remembered, but the stress response is resolved. Internal Family Systems Internal Family Systems (IFS) uses Family Systems theory—the idea that individuals cannot be fully understood in isolation from the family unit—to develop techniques and strategies to effectively address issues within a person’s internal community or family. This evidence-based approach assumes each individual possesses a variety of sub-personalities, or “parts,” and attempts to get to know each of these parts better to identify roots of conflict, to learn how to manage internal and external conflicts, and to achieve healing and greater well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches us how our thoughts our feelings and are behaviors are interconnected. It teaches us how to interrupt thoughts and behaviors that contribute to undesirable feelings. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy The following content about CBT is from the American Psychological Association . What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications. It is important to emphasize that advances in CBT have been made on the basis of both research and clinical practice. Indeed, CBT is an approach for which there is ample scientific evidence that the methods that have been developed actually produce change. In this manner, CBT differs from many other forms of psychological treatment. Core Principles CBT is based on several core principles, including: 1. Psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking. 2. Psychological problems are based, in part, on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior. 3. People suffering from psychological problems can learn better ways of coping with them, thereby relieving their symptoms and becoming more effective in their lives. The "C" of CBT CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking (cognitive) patterns. These strategies might include: • Learning to recognize one’s distortions in thinking that are creating problems, and then to reevaluate them in light of reality. • Gaining a better understanding of the behavior and motivation of others. • Using problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations. • Learning to develop a greater sense of confidence is one’s own abilities. The "B" of CBT CBT treatment also usually involves efforts to change behavioral patterns. These strategies might include: • Facing one’s fears instead of avoiding them. • Using role playing to prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. • Learning to calm one’s mind and relax one’s body. CBT in Therapy Not all CBT therapists will use all of these strategies nor will they use exclusively CBT. Rather, the therapist and patient/client work together, in a collaborative fashion, to develop an understanding of the problem and to develop a treatment strategy together. CBT places an emphasis on helping individuals learn to be their own therapists. Through exercises in the session as well as “homework” exercises outside of sessions, patients/clients are helped to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior. CBT therapists emphasize what is going on in the person’s current life, rather than what has led up to their difficulties. A certain amount of information about one’s history is needed, but the focus is primarily on moving forward in time to develop more effective ways of coping with life. Get in Touch
