At Bright Heart Health, we use evidence based therapies. Our team of specialists have advanced training in the following therapies.

Our thoughts can lead us into unhealthy behaviors. Learning how to become aware of our thought patterns can help us develop skills to shift negative thoughts to less harmful neutral thoughts.

We will help you strengthen your good behaviors while you learn to manage the harmful or self-defeating ones.

Discussing how you feel about your body can be scary. Learning to understand the negative influences, building awareness about those influences will help take the power out of their sting. We help you to learn to accept your body and in moments truly love what it can do for you.

Mood management is a combination of awareness, education and skill use. Skills are only effective if you use them. We help you identify obstacles so that you can work through them or get around them to accomplish your goals.

Relationships range from the person you come in contact with everyday to your closest friend or partner. Identifying how you interact with each person, who you divulge information and why helps you define who will be a part of your support group.

When guilt goes wrong it becomes shame. When people point fingers and accuse you of wrong doing, you feel blamed. Shame and Blame are huge triggers for ED behaviors and we want to help you heal from the trauma created by these emotions.

Horses are herd animals. They respond to the physical and emotional stimuli around them. They will reflect back to us what they receive. Our perceptions of what they reflect to us tell us a great deal about how we see the world and respond to it. Horses teach without judgement.

We all grieve from disappointments in our life. We have all lost something significant. How you mange your feeling of grief and loss will contribute to how you cope with daily life and your relationships.

Stress can be positive and negative. We often think of negative stress as the destructor of our happiness but not knowing how to manage healthy challenges can be equally depilating.

Somatic psychotherapy believes that the mind and body are inseparable – that relational distress, psychological stress, and physical suffering are often interconnected. This mindfulness-based approach to treatment integrates talk, sensation, movement, and feeling in order to communicate with parts of the brain that are not accessible through “talk therapy” alone. Since the body communicates primarily through sensations, clients learn to track and work with the autonomic nervous system to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation skills.

Eye Movement Desensitization Response is a technique used to simulate restorative function in your brain. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is the time when your brain gets its most effective rest and healing. This technique simulates that function allowing the recipient to heal from trauma recall. Once completed a person can remember the negative events without the intense anxiety and physical response previously experienced.
