Individual Psychotherapy

Clinical staff at East End Psychological Services are experts in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a form of psychotherapy that is designed to help people feel better sooner rather than later.

Cognitive therapy teaches people how to change faulty thinking patterns that are causing emotional symptoms. It helps clients see how distortions in their picture of what's going on in their life can make them feel anxious, depressed or angry for no good reason. Behavior therapy helps people modify the connections between problematic situations and their habitual reactions to them. Clients learn to “replace” maladaptive behaviors (e.g., self-defeating or self-damaging behavior) with more efficient and functional behaviors. When combined, behavior therapy and cognitive therapy provide individuals with very powerful tools for stopping problematic symptoms and getting one's life on a more productive and satisfying path.

Family and Marital Psychotherapy

Helping parents and families is a top priority. Sessions with parents are regularly provided to help caregivers learn to effectively manage their child (or children) at home and/or in the community. Moreover, parent sessions are utilized to develop and enhance communication and relationships. We recognize that mental health issues affect the lives of all family members and regularly provide family therapy, marital therapy, couples and relationship counseling.
