Evidence-Based CBT and EMDR Therapy
Under Dr. Whitfield’s clinical direction, therapy starts by identifying what keeps symptoms active and which approach best fits the work ahead.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify the thoughts, behaviors, and avoidance patterns that reinforce anxiety, stress, and emotional distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps process painful experiences that still feel emotionally charged so they become less disruptive in daily life.
Additional approaches may include Childhood Trauma Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based approaches.
