Therapy Services in Cary, NC
Chest pain. Difficulty sleeping. Inability to concentrate. Headaches. Feeling on edge often. Unable to relax.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar? If they do, you're not alone. Most people who seek therapy finally do so because they're having a hard time dealing with the physical effects of unaddressed mental health needs.
We believe in blending evidenced-based approaches (such as EMDR and DBT) with holistic approaches (such as mindfulness and self-care practices). If the evidenced-based approaches sound like a foreign language to you, just know this: You deserve to be treated like a whole person, not as a disorder.
We are honored to provide client-centered therapy to teens, adults, and families that empowers minds and grows perspectives.

Treatment Modalities
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT operates on the premise that two things that seemingly cannot be true at the same time, in fact, can. For example, it is critical to work on self-acceptance while also noticing that we are always evolving and changing.
DBT helps people break destructive cycles by teaching core skills
Mindfulness (being fully present in the moment)
Distress Tolerance (how to tolerate emotional pain, when you can't change it)
Interpersonal Effectiveness (promoting balance in relationships with self and others)
Emotional Regulation (how to change the emotions you want to change)
At this time we offer a teen girls skills coaching group that meets on Tuesdays from 5 pm-6:15 pm. Email us at Info@prismwellnessnc.com to learn more about the group.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns. These strategies might include:
Learning to recognize one's distortions in thinking that are creating problems, and then reevaluate them in light of reality. Gaining a better understanding of the behavior and motivation of others. Using problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations. Learning to develop a greater sense of confidence is one's own abilities.
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES)
Our brain naturally has electrical currents. The Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device delivers a natural level of microcurrent, via small clips worn on your earlobes, through the brain to stimulate and modulate specific groups of nerve cells. The microcurrent is tiny, just millionths of an ampere, and so gentle that most people don’t even feel it. The patented Alpha-Stim waveform, application, and protocols result in significant anxiety relief, mood normalization, and better sleep (both in quality and duration). Alpha-Stim may be used in session or we can work with your doctor to provide a prescription to purchase your own device to use at your convenience!
