These treatment modalities include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and trauma Focused Mindfulness. During the therapeutic process the client and I will enter a dialogue that allows a safe place that provides compassion and freedom for the client to express thoughts and feelings. Therefore resulting in the formulation of a client centered treatment care plan.
