Psychotherapy

Therapy is an effective way to treat many mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. Psychotherapy has been proven to improve the effectiveness of psychiatric treatments and may be recommended by your provider as part of your treatment plan. At our psychiatry office, Advanced Brain and Body Clinic, located in Golden Valley, MN, we offer psychotherapy in group or individual settings.

Group Therapy Dates & Topics

August 29th: The Importance of Self-Care for Mental Health

Research shows that self-care improves immunity, increases positive thinking, makes us less susceptible to stress, depression, and anxiety, and can contribute to long-term feelings of general well-being. 

September 5th: Dealing with Stress and How to Cope

Through playing stress BINGO, we will learn about personal stressors, symptoms of stress, consequences of stress upon our lives and ultimately, ways to reduce stress. 

September 12th: Healthy Boundaries – Protect your Mental Health

Boundaries are essential for maintaining mental health and well-being. They help us define what is acceptable in our interactions with others and protect our personal space and emotional health. Come and learn how to put healthy boundaries in place.

September 19th: Strategies to Build Healthy Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is the opinion we develop about ourselves in terms of our ability to meet the many challenges of life and achieve happiness and success. This group will focus on identifying ways to raise your self-esteem and feel better about who you are. 

September 26th: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and its Benefit to Mental Health

Similar to acupuncture, EFT tapping focuses on the meridian points or energy hot spots, to restore balance to your body’s energy. It’s believed that restoring this energy balance can relieve symptoms a negative experience or emotion may have caused. Tapping can help you access your body’s energy and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress.

October 3rd: Self-Forgiveness and Healing

Forgiving yourself can be hard when you’re carrying around a sense of blame for something that has happened in the past. This bundle of negativity burrowing deep into yourself can cause a never-ending sense of unhappiness. This group will look at ways to learn how to forgive yourself and move towards healing.
