Our Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Therapies

We believe in offering multiple pathways to recovery, which is why our licensed clinicians utilize a wide range of proven therapeutic approaches. Each modality is carefully selected to align with your unique needs, goals, and lived experience.

Cognitive & Behavioral Therapies

Our cognitive and behavioral therapies form the foundation of many treatment plans, helping you identify patterns, develop new skills, and create lasting change.
Some modalities we utilize include:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility and align your actions with your personal values. Rather than fighting against difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches you to acknowledge them while still moving toward what matters most to you.

This approach is particularly effective for those who find themselves stuck in patterns of avoidance or struggling with persistent negative thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a cornerstone of our treatment approach, and it focuses on identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use and mental health challenges.

Through structured sessions, you'll learn to recognize harmful thinking patterns, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies. Our clinicians provide practical tools that you can apply immediately in your daily life, creating sustainable change that extends beyond therapy sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT builds emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills essential for recovery. This structured approach combines acceptance and change strategies, teaching you how to manage intense emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships effectively, and develop mindfulness practices.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

REBT challenges irrational beliefs to foster healthier emotions and behaviors. This approach helps you identify self-defeating thoughts and replace them with more rational, constructive thinking patterns.

By addressing the root beliefs that drive unhealthy behaviors, REBT empowers you to respond to challenges with greater emotional resilience and make choices aligned with your recovery goals.

Trauma & Somatic Therapies

Recognizing that trauma often underlies substance use disorders, we offer specialized approaches to address these deeper wounds. These include:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) 

EMDR processes traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact, allowing you to heal from past experiences that may be driving current behaviors. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps your brain process stuck memories in  a way that diminishes their power over your present life. 

Our certified EMDR practitioners create a safe environment where you can address trauma without becoming overwhelmed, supporting lasting healing and recovery.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Our trauma-focused approaches address PTSD and complex trauma in a safe, structured way that respects your pace and boundaries. We understand that trauma affects not just your mind but your entire being, influencing how you relate to yourself and others.

Our clinicians are specially trained to help you process traumatic experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of safety and control in your life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS works with the inner world to heal emotional wounds, recognizing that we all contain different aspects of ourselves that may be in conflict. This compassionate approach helps you identify and understand the protective functions of behaviors that might otherwise seem self-sabotaging.

By fostering internal harmony and self-leadership, IFS supports sustainable recovery that honors your whole self.

Humanistic & Holistic Approaches

Our humanistic and holistic therapies recognize your inherent worth and capacity for growth. 
Some approaches we utilize include:

Person-Centered Therapy

Person-centered therapy empowers you to lead your healing journey, with the therapist serving as a supportive guide rather than an authority figure.  

This approach is founded on genuine respect for your wisdom about your own life and creates a non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, values, and goals.

By fostering self-acceptance and authentic self-expression, person-centered therapy helps you develop greater trust in your own capacity for positive change.

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy explores meaning, freedom, and self-determination, addressing the deeper questions that often arise during recovery. This approach helps you confront existential concerns about purpose, choice, and responsibility, supporting you in creating a meaningful life beyond substance use.

By examining your values and what gives your life significance, existential therapy provides a philosophical foundation for lasting recovery.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy, teaching you to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment. This integration helps you develop greater awareness of triggering thought patterns while cultivating a compassionate relationship with your experiences.

Regular mindfulness practice builds the mental muscles needed to respond to challenges with intention rather than automatic reactions, supporting long-term recovery and emotional well-being.

 telehealth treatment approach

Compassion-Focused Therapy

Compassion-focused therapy cultivates self-compassion to counteract shame and self-criticism that often fuel substance use. This approach recognizes that many people in recovery struggle with harsh self-judgment and helps you develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.

By activating your brain's caregiving system, compassion-focused therapy creates neurological changes that support emotional regulation and resilience.

Culturally Sensitive & Integrative Models

Our diverse approaches honor your unique background and combine techniques for maximum effectiveness. 

These include:

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Our culturally sensitive therapy honors diverse backgrounds and identities, recognizing that cultural context significantly influences how you experience mental health and substance use challenges.

Our clinicians are trained to understand how cultural factors shape beliefs about health, help-seeking, and recovery, ensuring that your treatment plan respects your cultural values and experiences.

This approach creates a more inclusive and effective therapeutic environment where you feel truly seen and understood.

Eclectic Therapy

Eclectic therapy blends techniques from multiple modalities for a customized plan that addresses your specific needs. Rather than adhering rigidly to a single approach, our clinicians draw from various evidence-based methods to create a treatment experience tailored specifically to you. 

This flexible approach allows us to adapt as your needs change throughout the recovery process, ensuring that your care remains relevant and effective.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)  

MI enhances motivation for positive change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. This collaborative approach helps you identify your own reasons for change rather than imposing external expectations.

Our clinicians use MI to help you clarify your values and goals, strengthening your commitment to recovery in a way that feels authentic and self-directed rather than forced or obligatory.

Additional Healing Modalities

We also employ the following modalities into treatment as needed, such as:
 telehealth treatment approach

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Interpersonal therapy focuses on improving relationships and communication patterns to address mental health challenges and substance use disorders.

This structured, time-limited approach emphasizes how your current interpersonal relationships affect your emotional wellbeing. IPT is particularly effective for those whose substance use is connected to relationship difficulties, grief, role transitions, or social isolation.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how unconscious patterns and past experiences influence your current behaviors, emotions, and relationships.

This insight-oriented approach helps you understand the underlying emotional drivers of substance use and mental health challenges, creating meaningful and lasting change.

Psychodynamic therapy is particularly valuable for those with complex trauma histories or those who have found that addressing only the symptoms of substance use hasn't led to sustainable recovery.

 telehealth treatment approach

Reality Therapy

Reality therapy focuses on present choices and behaviors rather than past experiences, empowering you to take control of your recovery journey.

Based on Choice Theory developed by Dr. William Glasser, this approach helps you identify your basic psychological needs – survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun – and develop more effective ways to fulfill them without substances.

Reality therapy's emphasis on personal responsibility and present-focused problem-solving makes it particularly effective for those who want practical tools to make immediate changes in their lives.

Specialized Support for Neurodivergent Adults

At Pathfinder Recovery, we recognize that neurodivergent individuals – including those with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences – may experience substance use and mental health challenges differently, and traditional treatment approaches may not always address these unique needs. 

Our clinicians are trained to adapt therapies to accommodate sensory needs, communication styles, and cognitive differences, ensuring a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Our telehealth platform offers advantages for many neurodivergent clients, allowing therapy to take place in familiar, comfortable environments with fewer sensory challenges than traditional office settings.

Treatment Modalities for Neurodivergent Patients

We integrate strategies for our neurodivergent clients, such as:

Structured Yet Flexible Session Pacing 

We recognize that processing information and emotions may require different timing for neurodivergent individuals. 

Our sessions can be adjusted to provide more breaks, shorter durations, or alternative scheduling to accommodate executive functioning differences and energy management needs. This flexibility ensures that therapy remains accessible and effective rather than overwhelming or exhausting.

Visual Aids or Alternative Communication Tools

We offer various communication options beyond traditional talk therapy, including visual supports, written exchanges, and technology-assisted communication.

These adaptations ensure that you can express yourself fully and process information in ways that work best for your cognitive style, regardless of whether you prefer direct verbal communication or alternative methods.

Sensory-Friendly Virtual Therapy Settings

Our telehealth platform allows you to control your sensory environment during sessions, minimizing distractions and sensory overload that might interfere with traditional in-person therapy. 

We provide guidance on creating optimal settings for therapy and can adjust our own presentation to accommodate sensory sensitivities, such as modifying lighting, reducing background noise, or adapting communication styles.

Collaborative Goal-Setting to Honor Individual Strengths

We recognize and celebrate neurodivergent strengths such as pattern recognition, hyperfocus, creative thinking, and unique perspectives.

Our treatment planning process identifies and leverages these strengths while providing support for challenges. This creates a balanced approach that promotes growth without pathologizing neurological differences.

Whether you're navigating co-occurring addiction, anxiety, or burnout, we're committed to providing care that respects your neurotype – because everyone deserves a recovery path that works for them.
