Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment implemented through skills training, group therapy, or a combination of the two. Dr. Schmidt offers formal individual DBT skills training, as well as integrates specific DBT skills in standard therapy based on the patient’s treatment goals. A big part of DBT is integrating values work, or what the developer of DBT (Marsha Linehan, PhD) calls “building a life worth living.” This means discovering what is important to our short- and long-term goals and what makes life meaningful for each of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/17ebf550-115f-4143-bc12-653fc48a8353/dbt-2.jpg Dialectical Behavior Therapy - Who Does DBT Work For? DBT is effective at treating a wide array of symptoms, including relationship discord and difficulty managing intense emotions and recurring crises, which often shows up in depression, anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Dialectical Behavior Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Dialectical Behavior Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Dialectical Behavior Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg Dialectical Behavior Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847743861-GWVMBPD7Z7WQRQL9IZZ8/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Dialectical Behavior Therapy https://www.thrivepsych.net/cbt daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/43c4fa4a-e882-4d96-96c1-81072e489be0/cbt-1.jpg Cognitive Behavior Therapy - What Is CBT? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for many conditions and symptoms. This form of therapy operates off of the assumption that our emotions are driven by the way that we think about things and how we behave. A simplified example is that depression would worsen if we fed our minds thoughts like “I’m useless,” “nobody loves me,” and “why bother?”. Subsequently, these thoughts lead us to behave in ways that amplify our depression, such as social isolation and disengaging from activities we previously enjoyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/ea7cd615-660b-4c49-bd2a-7dded04ffb6e/cbt-2.jpg Cognitive Behavior Therapy - Who Does CBT Work For? While it is common to integrate the overarching principles of CBT in therapy, Dr. Schmidt has been specifically trained in CBT for depression, insomnia, and chronic pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Cognitive Behavior Therapy https://www.thrivepsych.net/insurance daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816217149-PAACO6SAWK281Y3MSAN7/Aetna.png Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816230773-86U0AM0AY3YM9BJS03A9/BCBS+1.png Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816285009-4NKQLUSVLUWF3KZ8PZ6P/Healthy+Blue.png Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816321050-X83Y2KVD44J9A3MTWTIN/Medicare++US+Dept+Health+_+Human+svcs.jpg Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816341939-NC1MMGWWUM492HDX3EWK/Midlands+Choice.jpg Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816388316-6AUVL6GD7HRBYNTY12SS/Nebraska+Total+Healthcare.jpg Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816421088-PQXIS84LF1UVOFNQBZ3U/UMR.jpg Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1652816441377-VH32ID5JWIK2FQJ57ZDE/United+Healthcare+Commercial.png Insurance https://www.thrivepsych.net/private-policy daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://www.thrivepsych.net/therapy-1 daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/be91f791-c275-45fb-91bb-ff047c5ca3bc/therapy-1.jpg Therapy - Warm, Compassionate, Evidence-Based Therapy Thrive Psychological Services specializes in treating young adults and adults through individual and couples therapy.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment that utilizes a structured set of tools to “think about our thinking.” The basic premise of CPT is that our thinking becomes distorted after distressing events, making it more difficult to view current and future situations through neutral lenses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/2316587d-c967-40e9-8105-c9cd4e29e02f/home-1.jpg Cognitive Processing Therapy - Who Does CPT Work For?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment. We all have life experiences and past learning that can negatively impact how we interpret new information and experiences. EMDR utilizes the brain’s adaptive information processing system to integrate past learning in a more helpful way and reduce the distress old memories carry. Bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements or hand-tapping) helps access the traumatic memory network and create new associations between distressing memories and more helpful ways of thinking. EMDR takes a three-pronged approach to (1) uncover past events that have contributed to “old” learning; (2) desensitize current triggers; and (3) imagine future events to generalize skills for difficult situations that may arise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/6aef6cda-bc10-40b6-99c3-0f161692b905/emdr-3.jpg Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - Who Does EMDR Work For?

In fact, research shows that telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person visits. Some clients may initially find it awkward to speak with their therapist through a screen, but most appreciate the instant access to support and more consistent sessions because they don’t need to cancel for weather or if there’s heavy traffic. Save time on your commute and avoid busy waiting rooms - schedule a telehealth session today! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/1f50231b-8b3b-47ab-ba6b-f43fdb23024a/telehealth-2.jpg Telehealth - Will My Insurance Pay for Telehealth? Most insurance companies are currently treating telehealth as a regular therapy office visit. Just as with any new service, we encourage you to call the number on the back of your insurance card to verify your insurance company’s coverage of mental health services via telehealth. https://www.thrivepsych.net/psychological-testing daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628278d4609b637f13de9175/b8d99125-b3f5-4874-a565-6a2d5f2ff4c1/psychological-testing.jpg Psychological Testing - Psychological Testing Dr. Schmidt completes psychological evaluations for diagnostic clarity and pre-surgical (e.g., bariatric, spinal cord stimulator) requirements.
