Counseling for Adults

Counseling for adults is provided by our mental health professionals who are trained and qualified to assist with overcoming the difficulties in life that just won’t go away or seem too large to address. For instance, sometimes we all need a little help, but we don’t always get the help and support we need.  In other words, the help and support we get just isn’t enough.  However, while there is no guarantee that therapy will solve your problems, it does give you a great shot at improving your quality of life even if it means things still aren’t perfect.  Feeling better is often the first step on the path towards happiness and well-being and that’s what we aim for; helping people feel better.

As mental health professionals, we believe it is vital to choose a treatment approach based on each individuals unique situation and preferences and to develop a clear and coherent plan of action early on in the treatment process.  In addition, counseling for adults requires having specific treatment models available to choose from can help this process along.

Counseling for Adults the Mindly Way

Entering therapy for the first time can be intimidating. We get that. Therefore, that’s why at Mindly we strive to be as transparent and collaborative as possible. We want our clients to be in control of their own treatment and to feel empowered to chart their own path towards healing, recovery, and growth.

We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to counseling and psychotherapy. For instance, we want to go with the treatments that are known to work and try our best to stick to them. However, we are not as concerned about being unique as we are about providing results for our clients.  Therefore, in order to accomplish this, we use evidenced based approaches to treatment.

Evidenced Based Therapies at The Mindly Group

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) is a broad category of psychotherapies proven to be an effective treatment for many mental health concerns including both anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT) is a treatment that identifies and changes negative thinking patterns and pushes for positive behavioral change. Therefore, it is often used with individuals experiencing heightened emotional instability.  In other words, DBT offers specific skills to cope with and change unhealthy behaviors.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a practical model with emphasis on clear, concise, realistic goals.  Above all, it assumes clients have some knowledge of what would make their life better, even though they may need some help describing the details of what that could look like, and they already possess at least the minimal skills necessary to create solutions.

Mindfulness Therapy

Mindfulness Based Therapy is a type of psychotherapy geared toward becoming more aware of yourself and your environment.  Similarly, the goal is to notice your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in a nonjudgmental way. Mindfulness has been used in Eastern medicine, religious practices, and daily life since ancient times.
