Personalized Support for Your Journey

At BVPS, we offer various individual therapy services tailored to support your unique healing and personal growth path. Our skilled therapists use a variety of therapeutic modalities to address diverse mental health needs, ensuring that each client receives the most appropriate and effective care.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the core approaches used by our therapists. This evidence-based practice identifies and changes negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to emotional distress. Through CBT, clients learn to challenge and reframe their unhelpful thoughts, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and adopt more positive behaviors. This approach is effective for treating a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

For those dealing with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), we offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is specifically designed to help individuals process and overcome trauma-related symptoms. This therapy assists clients in understanding and challenging their thoughts related to traumatic experiences, helping to reduce the impact of trauma on their daily lives. By addressing the underlying cognitive patterns associated with trauma, CPT empowers clients to reclaim their sense of safety and control.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a powerful approach to help individuals navigate life's challenges and cultivate psychological flexibility. Through ACT, we help clients develop mindfulness skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify their values, and commit to taking meaningful action aligned with those values. This process empowers clients to overcome barriers, build resilience, and live a more fulfilling life, even in the face of adversity.

Strength in Community: Group Therapy

At BVPS, we understand the power of community and the unique benefits that group therapy can offer. Our group therapy services are designed to provide a supportive environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges, gain valuable insights, and develop essential coping skills. One of the key offerings in our group therapy program is our Anxiety Groups, specifically tailored to help those struggling with anxiety disorders.

Anxiety Groups
Our Anxiety Groups bring together individuals who experience various forms of anxiety, creating a space where members can share their experiences and learn from each other. Experienced therapists facilitate these groups, guide discussions, introduce therapeutic techniques, and foster a safe and inclusive atmosphere.

Dr. Burns and her team offer anxiety group therapy for children and adolescents. We utilize the Coping Cat (for ages 7-13) and C.A.T. Project (for ages 14-17) curricula. These are Cognitive-Behavioral evidence-based therapy practices used to treat anxiety.

The programs help children and adolescents recognize and understand their anxious feelings and develop strategies to deal with anxiety-provoking situations. Each program integrates four components:

Recognizing and understanding emotional and physical reactions to anxiety
Clarifying thoughts and feelings in anxious situations
Developing plans for effective coping
Evaluating performance and giving self-reinforcement

The first 8 sessions focus on training and psychoeducation and the remaining 8 sessions include practicing the skills learned during the first 8 weeks. \ Intervention techniques include modeling real-life situations, role-playing, and relaxation training.

Groups are 100% virtual. Cohorts are grouped by age. Group sizes will range from 3-5 patients at a time and meet weekly for 1.5 hours. Groups typically run for 16 weeks, but abbreviated versions of the groups are 8 weeks and available upon request. The group schedule will be dependent on patient and clinician availability.

Each parent and participant will need to use the Coping Cat or C.A.T. Project workbook, depending on their group. The workbooks will be provided to families free of charge.

Please email [email protected] for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between individual and group therapy?

Individual therapy involves one-on-one sessions with a therapist, allowing for personalized attention and a tailored approach to address specific issues. This format is ideal for clients who prefer a private setting and focused, individualized treatment. Group therapy, on the other hand, involves sessions with multiple participants led by a therapist. This approach provides a supportive community where individuals can share experiences and learn from one another. Group therapy benefits those who can gain from mutual support and the group's collective wisdom.

How do I know if individual or group therapy is right for me?

Deciding between individual and group therapy depends on several factors, including personal preferences, treatment goals, and concerns. If you value personalized attention and have specific issues to work through, individual therapy might be more suitable. Conversely, if you benefit from social support and shared experiences, group therapy could be advantageous. Consider your comfort level when discussing personal issues in a group setting and your desire for peer feedback.

What therapeutic approaches are used in individual and group therapy sessions?

At BVPS, we employ a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches in both individual and group therapy sessions. Common approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), designed to address trauma and PTSD symptoms. Other techniques may include mindfulness-based approaches, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other modalities tailored to address specific mental health concerns. These techniques aim to provide effective and holistic treatment for our clients.

How long are individual and group therapy sessions?

Individual therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes, while group therapy sessions are 1.5 hours weekly.

Will my therapy sessions be confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of our therapy practice. BVPS staff are committed to maintaining client privacy and adhering to ethical standards. Information shared during therapy sessions is kept confidential, except in situations where there is a legal obligation to disclose, such as when there is a risk of harm to oneself or others. We prioritize creating a safe and secure environment where clients feel comfortable sharing personal information, knowing it will be protected.
