A hallmark of treatment for mental illness and addiction is therapy.

We believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, so we’ll work with you to assess how to best meet your individual needs. Your customized treatment plan may include traditional methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoeducation therapy, or alternative therapies.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the premise that thoughts, not situations or events, cause our feelings and behaviors. When you believe your harmful thoughts are reality that can lead to self-destructive behavior. With the help of a trained therapist, you can begin to recognize irrational thoughts and learn ways to challenge those notions or unlearn them. When you recognize that your beliefs are not facts, you can better cope when negative thoughts or feelings arise.

CBT can be effective for a wide variety of mental illnesses, including mood disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, and psychosis. For many patients with depression, CBT has been shown to be as helpful as antidepressant medication.

Psychoeducation Therapy

Psychoeducation is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention for patients that provides information and support to better understand and cope with negative behaviors, thoughts and feelings. These groups are led by highly trained professionals such as social workers, activity therapists, nurses and pharmacists.

Alternative Therapies

Haven Behavioral Hospital of Frisco offers alternative therapies to supplement traditional types of therapy. These include music therapy, recreational therapy, and dance movement therapy.

The stretching and movement of dance movement has shown to ease not only physical tension but also mental stress. Music therapy helps decrease anxiety, reduce muscle tension and, in some cases, increase socialization. Recreational therapy, or therapeutic recreation, use arts and crafts, sports or other hands-on activities to promote mental health and wellness.

In all our therapy programs, we’ll let you know what you can expect from treatment, including estimated time commitment and possible results. To find what types of therapy might be a good fit for you, call us to schedule an assessment at 469-535-8000.
