I started this practice about 12, 13 years ago. I chose to start a multi-specialty clinic where virtually all members of our community could come get help. So just in terms of different modalities, we have a variety of different evidence-based treatments and non-evidence-based treatments that we use here. For example, we use acceptance and commitment therapy. We have an EMDR clinician here at our practice. We use prolonged exposure for PTSD. We used to run a DBT skills group and have had DBT specialists here at our practice. And then we also have people who are doing a lot more insight oriented therapies, whether it's sort of classic psychodynamic therapy, we do have practitioners who do that, whether it's family systems and working with individuals and families within that. We also provide marriage therapy and there are. I would say two of the most popular, more well-known forms of marriage therapy are emotional focus therapy, as well as a therapy that was named after the person who invented it, John Gottman. And so we have people practicing both of those modalities here. And then behavioral activation. We have somebody here who is a CADC, so that's a specialist for substance use and disorders.
