Below you’ll find therapies and treatment approaches commonly used at Advanced Health and Education – including CBT, DBT-informed skills, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and family support.
Each client’s treatment plan is uniquely designed, and the therapies utilized depend on their chosen program and the conditions they struggle with.
