Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for teens and young adults

Other types of evidence-based practices our therapists utilize at Joon Care:

All therapy at Joon Care is evidence-based, skills-focused, and personalized to each client. In addition to drawing from CBT skills, Joon therapists may utilize skills or approaches from the following evidence-based best practices to customize a treatment approach for each client’s unique needs: 

1. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT helps clients manage intense negative emotions and change problematic behavior patterns. DBT skills can be useful for clients with mood disorders, personality disorders, self-injury, or suicidality.
2. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT is a form of behavior therapy that focuses on helping clients learn to accept negative emotions as a step to moving forward with important life changes. ACT techniques can be especially useful for teens with anxiety, PTSD, grief, and depression.
3. Motivational Interviewing (MI): MI is a non-confrontational therapy style that helps people resolve ambivalence and build motivation for change. It can be a great tool for building rapport early in therapy and developing motivation to change problem behaviors.
4. Mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of directing attention to the present moment in a nonjudgmental way. Mindfulness is often incorporated into CBT and other evidence-based practices as a highly effective tool in reducing rumination and worry and promoting relaxation.
