Therapies Offered at Holgate Mental Health
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps clients recognize and change negative thought patterns and behaviors linked to addiction, anxiety, and depression.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Combines mindfulness and behavioral strategies to enhance emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
- EMDR and Trauma Therapy: Specialized approaches that help clients process and heal from past trauma, reducing distress associated with painful memories.
- PTSD Therapy: Focused interventions that address symptoms of post-traumatic stress, helping clients regain a sense of safety and control.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely researched and effective treatments for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CBT helps clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with healthier ways of thinking and behaving.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another cornerstone of our programs, particularly for individuals struggling with emotional regulation, self-harm, or borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, teaching clients how to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
For those who have experienced trauma, we offer specialized trauma therapy known as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). EMDR helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that all clients feel safe and supported as they work through difficult experiences. These therapies are delivered within a trauma-informed framework that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment throughout the healing process.
Mental health challenges affect more than the individual; they impact loved ones and family dynamics. That’s why Holgate Mental Health integrates family and relationship therapy into our treatment programs. These sessions help guide families to understand each other’s experiences through difficult conversations and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy fosters a safe space for open communication, teaches conflict resolution skills, and rebuilds trust to repair strained relationships among family members. Families learn to better understand mental health as a disease and develop supportive strategies for recovery.
By involving loved ones in treatment, we foster a network of support that extends beyond the therapy room. Our relationship therapy services also extend to couples and close friends, helping them strengthen bonds and navigate challenges together.
Family support sessions focus on building trust, improving communication, and resolving conflicts constructively. Our goal is to help clients and their loved ones grow together, creating a foundation for long-term healing.
At Holgate Mental Health, individual therapy and group therapy are essential components of our treatment programs and the healing process. Individual therapy provides a confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trusted clinician. This one-on-one attention allows for deep personal insight and the development of tailored coping strategies.
- Individual therapy: Psychotherapy, also known as one-on-one talk therapy, provides a private space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, guided by a licensed clinician who tailors each session to the client’s unique needs.
- Group therapy: Group therapy sessions offer a unique opportunity for connection and shared learning. In a supportive group setting, clients can practice new skills, gain perspective from others facing similar challenges, and build a sense of community. Group sessions are facilitated by experienced therapists who ensure a safe and respectful environment for all participants.
Clients often find that the combination of these modalities accelerates their progress and helps them feel less alone in their journey. This combination of individual attention and peer support creates a balanced, effective treatment experience that promotes personal growth and recovery. Our flexible scheduling allows clients to participate in the types of therapy that best meet their needs.
Therapeutic Goals: Building Skills and Fostering Resilience
One of the primary goals of therapy at Holgate is to help clients develop emotional regulation skills. Many mental health conditions are characterized by intense or unpredictable emotions, which can be overwhelming and difficult to manage. Through therapies like CBT and DBT, clients learn practical techniques for identifying, understanding, and coping with their emotions in healthy ways.
Coping skills are a core part of every program at Holgate Mental Health. Our therapists equip clients with practical techniques to manage stress, ease anxiety, and prevent relapse. These tools are applied both in therapy sessions and in everyday life. Through guided self-exploration, clients uncover the root causes of their struggles, recognize unhelpful patterns, and set purposeful goals for growth.
Developing personal insight is equally important to lasting recovery. This journey of self-awareness empowers individuals to take charge of their well-being and create lasting, positive change with confidence and clarity.
At Holgate Mental Health in Montvale, NJ, we believe that healing extends beyond symptom management; it’s about rebuilding relationships and rediscovering inner strength. Through family and relationship therapy, clients learn healthy communication patterns, repair trust, and strengthen their support systems.
Resilience is another cornerstone of our therapeutic approach. Clients are guided to recognize their progress, embrace self-compassion, and develop confidence in their ability to overcome setbacks. These skills not only support addiction recovery but also foster lifelong emotional well-being.
