Behavioral Psychotherapy Service at Psychotherapy Partners

Cognitive-behavioral Therapy

We offer cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) options that are tailored to your needs. CBT is a common form of talk therapy that allows you to identify patterns of negative thinking and inaccuracies in your assessment of situations and relationships. It is useful for individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, eating disorders and previous traumas.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT, also known as acceptance and commitment therapy, is an emotional approach to resolving life issues. We offer ACT to help you achieve a measure of control and to provide you with coping mechanisms that will help you navigate the tough times in life. Whether you are dealing with traumatic experiences in your past or current difficulties, our therapists can provide you with the support you need.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR therapy is designed to help patients manage traumatic memories by systematic exposure to stimuli in a safe and therapeutic environment. This can allow you to integrate your experiences into a wider context, which can help you manage fears and to reduce sensitivity to the topic or event. This can result in improved adaptability for you in your daily life.

Brain spotting

Along with EMDR therapies, our team can provide you with brainspotting options that help you to focus on specific areas of your visual field. Research has shown that where you look can have an impact on your access and acceptance of unprocessed traumatic events. We can help you move on from your traumas more successfully.

Compassion-focused Therapy

Learning to be compassionate not only toward others but also with yourself can have a positive impact on your mood and your self-esteem. We offer CFT options for you that can help you reduce shame and self-criticism while boosting feelings of safety and acceptance that can improve your everyday life.

Motivational Interviewing

While traditional client-centered therapy methods offer minimal direction and instruction for patients, motivational interviewing provides added direction in making positive changes and exploring ambivalence. Our therapists will work to inspire you to make positive changes that can improve your overall quality of life.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Also known as ART but not to be confused with art therapy sessions, accelerated resolution therapy is designed to provide faster results for those dealing with traumatic experiences or with anxiety, phobias, panic attacks or depression. By helping you to move past the challenges and memories that cause you pain, our team can use ART to create the most positive conditions for growth and transcendence in your personal life.

Narrative Therapy

If you are not certain where to start your therapy journey, narrative therapy is a way to explore your values and to determine what skills are necessary to put those values into practice in your everyday life. It is easy to find a therapist at Psychotherapy Partners in Minneapolis who can provide you with the guidance and support to complete this process.

Solution Focused Therapy

For patients who want a more direct route to self-improvement, solution focused therapies are a way to zero in on specific problems and to find methods for resolving them. This type of therapy can allow you to overcome situational shyness, stress reactions and other issues related to the challenges of your everyday life.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

Also known as EFT, emotionally focused therapy is designed for couples and provides practical help for eliminating negative communication patterns and promoting greater attachment bonds between partners. It has been successfully used to promote healthier relationships for couples in distress and to build deeper attachments for these individuals.

Mindfulness-based Approaches

If you are seeking a non-judgmental therapeutic approach to stress in your everyday life, mindfulness-based therapy may be a good option for you. Meditation and calming exercises can promote a healthier approach to stress and can promote better health both emotionally and physically for our clients.

Art Therapy

One of the most holistic forms of therapy is art therapy, which offers a creative outlet for those who may have emotional or cognitive roadblocks standing in the way of their mental health. At Psychotherapy Partners, our team can provide you with the most productive creative outlets to resolve emotional issues and to deal with traumatic or stressful events that could be holding you back.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is often used to help people with emotional control issues and self-destructive behaviors. DBT is based on three basic principles:

• All things are connected.
• Change is inevitable.
• By embracing contradictions, patients can move closer to the objective truth of their situations.

Our psychotherapists will work with you to decide whether DBT is the best solution for your therapy needs. This therapeutic method is a practical way to achieve a fresh perspective on your relationships, your challenges and your life.
