Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Goal-oriented psychotherapy that targets maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. CBT employs techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, exposure, and problem-solving to address psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidality. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense recommend trauma-focused CBT modalities as first-line treatments for PTSD.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

An intervention originally developed for borderline personality disorder and high suicide risk. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs both recognize DBT as an evidence-based treatment for reducing suicidal ideation and self-directed violence.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

A trauma-focused psychotherapy in which patients recall distressing memories while engaging in bilateral sensory stimulation (typically therapist-guided eye movements). EMDR is supported by more than 30 randomized controlled trials and is recommended as a first-line treatment for PTSD by most international guidelines, including those from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. EMDR is generally of shorter duration and comparable in efficacy to trauma-focused CBT for PTSD.
