Treatment Overviews
Treatment overviews provide a window into how different therapeutic approaches work—and why they help. In these videos, clinicians explain the core principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based care. We explore how each method supports emotional regulation, strengthens self-trust, and fosters lasting change through practical, structured engagement.
Lisa Novak, PhD, co-founder of Illuminate Psychological Assessments, explains what neuropsych testing measures and why it can offer clarity for families.
Michael Blumberg breaks down Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), explaining how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. He shares how CBT helps patients shift patterns by focusing on concrete, present-moment strategies.
Dr. Melanie Santos explains how ERP works to treat OCD. She outlines how gradual, supported exposure to feared thoughts—without engaging in rituals—can reduce anxiety over time and restore a sense of control.
Carl Jerome, longtime mindfulness teacher and director of North Shore Meditation & Dharma Center, explains what mindfulness is—and what it’s not. He emphasizes attention over relaxation, clarity over calm, and presence over performance.
