What can I expect from therapy?

The Dynmed Primary Care & Wellness team will first conduct a thorough assessment. They’ll review your mental health, current symptoms, your and your family’s medical history, and any other impactful conditions. The team will create a plan personalized to achieve your mental health goals.

Depending on your needs, your therapy plan might include:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT examines how your thoughts impact your actions and feelings to strengthen your mental health at its source. It can be especially useful for individuals with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or anxiety.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

This therapy takes a problem-solving approach to mental health, emphasizing acceptance and moving forward. This can be powerful for many people, including those with PTSD.

Anger management

This approach helps you identify your stressors and gives you the tools to remain in charge of your feelings during tense situations so you can handle them constructively.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT)

IPT addresses significant relationship issues or events occurring in your life. You might benefit from IPT if you feel overwhelmed by a major change that is underway or coming soon.

The team looks for the most effective approach and adapts your treatment plan to meet your needs. To pursue therapy in a comfortable, confidential environment, call the Dynmed Primary Care & Wellness office to schedule an appointment or book online.
