What is Behavior Therapy?
Does your child struggle with disruptive or challenging behaviors? If so, Behavior Therapy could be an effective solution. This method uses reinforcement techniques to help kids become better at managing their feelings and behaving in ways that positively impact them as well as those around them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another popular form of therapy which focuses on teaching children the power of positive thinking – empowering them to recognize how their thoughts can affect behavior for better or worse! A CBT therapist can provide guidance and life-changing tools for a successful journey towards improved mental health.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy for adolescents and children that is growing in popularity for the treatment of a variety of mental health issues. It has been especially effective in treating more serious mental illnesses, as well as helping children and teenagers with self-regulation or destructive behavioral patterns. DBT builds on cognitive behavioral therapy by utilizing techniques such as validation and self-acceptance. It teaches mindfulness, emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to help gain better insight into feelings and relationships. Additionally, anger management is a component of Dialectical Behavior Therapy which can be extremely beneficial to children. Through this approach, kids learn how to identify emotional triggers of anger and how to overcome them so they can live happily and healthily.

Kelly BraggAimee did wonders for my child. Her approach, personality, and open line of communication were exactly what was needed to overcome a few obstacles we were facing. The practice as a whole is top notch!
Meghan ThorellMy son had the most amazing experience with Open Minds Psychological. The therapists there were so communicative and understanding. They knew exactly how to help my 8 year-old son who was really struggling. In less than a year, he was able to build confidence and strategies to help him through his difficulties. This practice also offered group sessions for him and he was able to meet with peers who were going through something similar. He just recently graduated from his therapy sessions and is doing extremely well. I am so incredibly grateful to Open Minds for everything they did for my son and my family. I can't recommend them enough!
