MindWell Psychology LLPPhD

About

MindWell provides culturally informed, evidence-based, outpatient mental healthcare. MindWell’s compassionate, culturally informed therapists use research based care to address the mental health concerns of children, youth, couples and adults. We work with a range of concerns and identities, including ADHD, anxiety, autism, behavior issues, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders, gender identity, grief, life transitions, OCD, parenting, substance use, and trauma. MindWell clinicians utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as one type of intervention. CBT has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, substance use, marital problems, eating disorders, trauma, and ADHD. Some MindWell clinicians also practice Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a type of therapy CPT, specially adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely. “Dialectical” means allowing opposite ideas to exist together. DBT focuses on helping people accept their limitations and identify strengths. Patients are helped to accept the reality of their lives and behaviors, then learn to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. DBT focuses on improving distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and the practice of mindfulness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses acceptance and mindfulness processes, and commitment and behavior change processes, and commitment and behavior change processes to produce greater psychological flexibility. ACT is about moving in a direction guided by one’s values even while experiencing challenging thoughts and feelings.
