Type of Therapy
At Abundant Living, our theoretical orientation or primary mode of therapy is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  "Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on exploring relationships among a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors. During CBT a therapist will actively work with a person to uncover unhealthy patterns of thought and how they may be causing self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. By addressing these patterns, the person and therapist can work together to develop constructive ways of thinking that will produce healthier behaviors and beliefs." www.NAMI.org.
