There are several different therapies and techniques that can be used based on the individual's specific needs. The following are some types of therapies people seeking mental health help may be exposed to:

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)

PSYCHOANALYSIS

SUPPORTIVE THERAPY

The primary purpose of supportive therapy is to help patients develop their own mental health resources to build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, strengthen coping mechanisms, and improve social skills. After therapy, people should be able to take the things they learn and apply them for the rest of their lives.

 

At Reliance Integrated Wellness Center, our mental health professionals often use a combination of different therapies and treatments. Medication is sometimes combined with an individual’s therapy if a therapist determines it would be beneficial.
