Types of Anxiety Therapy We Offer
At Prism Wellness, we offer several effective therapeutic modalities to treat anxiety:

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. It helps individuals identify and challenge negative thinking patterns and teaches healthier ways to respond to stress.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT combines mindfulness practices with emotional regulation skills to help individuals manage overwhelming anxiety and stress. This approach is especially helpful for individuals who struggle with intense emotions.
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR incorporates mindfulness techniques to help clients stay present, manage stress, and reduce the impact of anxious thoughts. It teaches clients how to respond to anxiety in a more grounded way.
- Exposure Therapy: Exposure therapy helps clients gradually face and overcome specific fears or phobias. It’s designed to reduce avoidance behaviors and desensitize individuals to anxiety triggers.
- Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP): KAP offers a new, innovative approach to managing treatment-resistant anxiety. By combining low doses of ketamine with therapy, KAP helps reduce severe anxiety symptoms and provides relief for individuals who haven’t found success with traditional treatments.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps individuals understand and heal their inner "parts" or subpersonalities, fostering self-compassion and inner harmony by engaging with these parts.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages individuals to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions aligned with their values, promoting psychological flexibility.
- Prolonged Exposure (PE): PE is designed to treat trauma by gradually exposing individuals to trauma-related memories and stimuli to reduce emotional distress over time.
- Polyvagal Therapy: Based on the Polyvagal Theory, this therapy aims to regulate the nervous system by fostering a sense of safety, especially for those dealing with trauma and emotional dysregulation.
- Family Systems Therapy: This therapy views problems within the context of family dynamics, aiming to improve relationships by understanding and altering family interaction patterns.
- Somatic Work:
Focusing stored trauma in the body by helping individuals become aware of physical sensations to promote emotional healing.
