Therapy Services

At Brighten Bay, we combine a range of evidence-based and experiential therapies to provide a comprehensive and effective recovery journey.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT):
DBT focuses on teaching skills to help you manage your emotions, stay present in the moment, and strengthen your relationships with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
CBT helps you recognize and transform negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve your mental health and well-being.

Trauma-Informed Therapy:
By understanding the impact of trauma, we aim to enhance engagement, improve symptom management, and achieve better overall outcomes.

Somatic Therapy and Yoga:
Reconnect with your body through movement and mindfulness techniques designed to release tension and promote emotional balance.

EMDR Therapy : psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process and heal from trauma by using bilateral stimulation (typically through guided eye movements). It helps reframe distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing individuals to integrate those experiences more healthily.

Equine Therapy: involves interacting with horses in a therapeutic setting, helping individuals develop emotional awareness, improve communication skills, and process trauma. The non-verbal nature of horses encourages clients to be more present and mindful, aiding in emotional regulation and personal growth.
