Individual Therapy
Individual Sessions are the core of treatment. The focus is on exploring one’s experiences and symptoms within a cognitive-behavioral framework. Treatment involves developing cognitive and behavioral skills that one can use throughout their lives. Treatment is scientifically informed, dynamic and highly effective. In addition to a strong emphasis on cognitive behavioral skills development, mindfulness based techniques and schema therapy strategies can also be incorporated.
Family Sessions
For many individuals, particularly children, their difficulties and symptoms evolve in the context of their families. Consequently, family sessions can be an integral and productive approach to certain issues.
Parent Training
Parents often struggle with questions about the best approach for handling their child’s difficulties. Parent training is often an essential part of treatment. It can provide parents with an opportunity to develop highly effective parenting skills and tools for managing their child’s specific symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. At times, parents can also be trained as coaches to assist their children in implementing therapeutic tools between sessions. This can enhance and expedite treatment.

School Consultations
For many children the school environment can be a very overwhelming place with many academic and social demands. Often symptoms are at their worst in this challenging setting. Collaborating with school personnel is a crucial part of working with children. It can facilitate treatment by coordinating care and providing continuity of care and strategies across settings.

Intensive Treatment Programs
Although traditional treatment is provided once a week, for some individuals an intensive treatment program is best because of symptom interference or the need to make progress quickly. Sessions can be scheduled several times per week for an extended duration. All treatment coordination is guided by the unique needs of the individual. Learn more about intensive treatment programs >
Supervision & Consultation
Dr. Breytman has extensive training and clinical experience in various CBT methodologies. Consequently, she is an important resource for clinicians who are new to the field, are working on developing clinical expertise or simply need additional guidance with a challenging case.
