Due to popular request, we have added a trauma track to our DBT based Intensive Outpatient Program. This track combines our adherent DBT program with our EMDR programming. It is offered in person in Brooklyn Heights & Syosset, as well as virtually in NY, NJ, & VT.
The track has a few components that go hand in hand to provide the best care possible for PTSD and other trauma based diagnoses:
- EMDR treatment with Paige Scrofani, LCSW to provide a space to reprocess traumatic experiences
- DBT Group therapy with Stacy Beach, PsyD- to learn important skills such as emotion regulation, distress, tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness
- Individual therapy with one of our 8 amazing therapists SageMind Psychology to allow for space where you can learn to apply the DBT skills to your specific goals and needs, process day to day experiences, challenge unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns, and design a future that is aligned with your values.
When combined, these services not only allow for you to heal your past experiences, but encourage you to develop a new sense of self that is able to live in alignment with your goals and values. Typically, when someone experiences trauma they are in "fight or flight" mode which deprives the brain from the ability to learn crucial social-emotional skills. This is why it is so important to pair trauma treatment with skills training so that you can both heal from your past, and create an ideal future self.
