These include cognitive and behavioral tools, somatic work, insight work, and EMDR along with play therapy techniques as appropriate.
So often we feel we need to face the concerns in our lives alone- possibly from from fear of rejection or somehow believing that we don't deserve to be heard. Our feelings and beliefs about ourselves and others can stunt or harm relationships within ourselves, with others and with God. Sometimes we forget or don't know how or are afraid to move forward in our lives in ways that will bring balance, motivation and empowerment. Exploring your history, not to dwell there, but to understand how it has affected your current life, along with utilizing new and beneficial tools, can lead to a healthier and better flow of living.

I specialize in creative approaches to treatment combining verbal, CBT, Expressive Art Therapy, and mindfulness to increase self-awareness, cultivate inner resources, discover new ideas, flexibility, and promote healthy change, acceptance, and resolution.
Are you ready for new growth? I believe that you have the innate capacity to heal, develop, and grow. Life can be stressful, and we may come across life experiences that unbalance and overwhelm us. Often the very painful issues such as anxiety, depression, difficulty with relationships, life stage transitions, trauma, illness, and lack of purpose/motivation may present as an opportunity for exploration, personal growth, and development. Therapy provides a safe haven for identifying inner conflicts, exploring feelings, and letting go of limiting patterns of negative beliefs and behaviors.

Psychotherapy is one way to promote change which examines attitude, feelings, emotions and motivation when the individual, couple or family experience is less than funtional. The work is mainly to encourage the patient to talk and explore their feelings, beliefs, and thoughts which develops integrated mindful awareness. In other words emotional growth. Additionally, this is a process which seeks to help gain an increased capacity for choice, through which the patient becomes more autonomous,functional and self-determined. Dr. Laine strongly believes that this challenging work is best accomplished in an atmosphere of safety, caring, support and is dedicated to providing this for all patients.

Cognitive Processing Therapy is a 12 to 24 week structured approach that has been rigorously studied on those with PTSD.
You are here because you are ready. You are ready to finally put your past to rest and take charge of those last lingering symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. You have been working hard on yourself but still feel the occasional panic or anger that seems out of proportion or is difficult to control. And it’s time. You know it, you feel it. And you’re ready. Conversely, you might be ready to find the right person or the right job, and despite all your work with self-help books or talk therapy you know there is still a deeper core of PTSD symptoms to work through so that you can move on to bigger and better things.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
