Psychology Group of Tampa Bay offers the following therapeutic options…
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a useful tool that is designed to address common challenges. CBT is based on the following principles: psychological problems are due to a combination of unhelpful ways of thinking and ineffective behaviors. Treatment using CBT often includes education about the condition or challenge you're facing. It also involves identifying strengths and areas for improvement in your current coping strategies. Finally, you'll learn and practice specific techniques such as relaxation, stress management, and cognitive challenging.
Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is an action-oriented approach that that utilizes mindfulness, acceptance and change strategies. Clients utilizing ACT learn to stop avoiding, denying or unnecessarily struggling with emotions and find better strategies to achieve a values-consistent life. Treatment using ACT typically focuses on clarifying your values, building curious awareness of the current moment and identifying/overcoming barriers to values-consistent growth and progress.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching people strategies to help cope with significant distress, to build hope and optimism in life and to become more effective in relationships. DBT focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Problem-Focused Specialized Treatment
Our clinicians are also trained to deliver empirically-supported therapies for a wide range of diagnoses, including (but not limited to)…
Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD
Prolonged Exposure for PTSD
Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR is a revolutionary approach to changing your view, and your reaction to, distress and discomfort. By strengthening your attention and raising your awareness of your automatic-reactions, you can change your relationship with your mind and your body - increasing intentionality to your actions.
Parent Management Training (PMT)
Parent Management Training (PMT) is an evidence-based intervention that teaches parents strategies to manage challenging behaviors in children, particularly those with ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). PMT focuses on reinforcing positive behaviors, setting consistent expectations and consequences, improving communication, and strengthening the parent-child relationship.
