At Alvord Baker, we believe in a personalized, evidence-based approach to therapy. We understand that beginning the therapeutic process is a significant step, and we offer the support, expertise, and compassion needed for a successful journey toward change. Our dedicated clinicians collaborate closely with clients to develop customized treatment plans, empowering individuals to overcome their personal challenges.

Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

We use a variety of scientifically backed therapeutic approaches to ensure the most effective treatment outcomes. Each method is carefully chosen to align with the individual needs of our clients, promoting positive change and long-term resilience.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP): Our therapists specialize in CBT and ERP, approaches effective in managing anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and mood disorders by helping individuals challenge unhelpful thoughts and gradually face fears.
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): TF-CBT is specifically designed to help children and adolescents recover from traumatic experiences, guiding both the individual and their caregivers through the healing process.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT emphasizes mindfulness and acceptance strategies, helping individuals align their actions with their values and overcome challenges with greater psychological flexibility.
  • Motivational Interviewing: This client-centered approach helps individuals strengthen their motivation to make positive changes, often a helpful approach when individuals lack motivation or direction.
  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR teaches mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, enhance focus, and cultivate a greater sense of peace in everyday life.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients navigate intense emotions and improve relationships. While we do not offer full DBT services, we do provide DBT-informed therapy.
  • Nature Informed Therapy: Nature Informed Therapy integrates the healing power of nature into the therapeutic process, offering clients a unique environment to foster growth and reflection.
