Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR therapy is an innovative therapeutic approach primarily used to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.

EMDR activates the brain’s natural healing processes, assisting individuals in reprocessing traumatic experiences and fostering healthier coping mechanisms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles. It was initially designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder but has since been utilized effectively for a variety of conditions, including substance use disorder treatment.

DBT teaches practical skills for managing emotions, navigating interpersonal relationships, and handling distress in a healthy way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand the link between their thoughts and feelings and the resulting behaviors.

By working on changing their thought patterns, individuals can make positive, practical changes. CBT is beneficial for substance use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and more.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing is a deeply intentional counseling method that helps you cultivate the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. It’s often used to address addiction and unhealthy behavior patterns and empowers individuals to foster lasting change through informed self-help.

Internal Family Systems

IFS operates on the principle that each person is a system of inner parts, the Internal Family System. By uncovering and addressing each underlying and wounded inner part, you can better understand yourself and learn to heal from the core.

Yoga Therapy

At Crestone Wellness, we acknowledge the profound connection between mind, body, and soul and offer several types of therapies to advance this connection.

Yoga therapy offers a holistic approach to healthcare and wellness guided by Certified Yoga Instructors. This combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation into one whole-person alcohol or drug addiction treatment.

This activity helps manage stress, improve mental clarity, and promote overall well-being.

ACT Therapy

Blending mindfulness and psychotherapy, ACT helps you stay focused on what is happening now and accept how you think and feel about your circumstances. You will develop valuable coping skills that are helpful in any scenario and imperative to lasting recovery.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

This short-term intervention focuses on specific goals by incorporating positive psychology instead of dwelling on challenges or obstacles. By remaining oriented on the future, you can stay motivated, develop solutions, achieve more in life, and cultivate hope.

Art Therapy

This modality is where evidence-based therapy meets creative expression. Through outlets like painting, crafts, music, journaling, and the like, you are engaged with the treatment process on multiple levels from a physical, mental, and spiritual perspective.

Breathwork Therapy

We breathe every day, all day long, but Breathwork Therapy moves this practice from habit to intentionality. Breathwork helps you train your body to respond in a slow, healthy way instead of relying on natural fight-or-flight responses.

Attachment Therapy

A blend of therapy and counseling, Attachment Therapy is closely related to CBT and DBT. This approach can help you identify and address past trauma to overcome present-day struggles with behavior and relationships.

Sound Healing Therapy

We hear sounds all around us all the time, but specific, targeted sounds can have healing power. Through music, vibrations, and other sounds, you can eliminate distractions and focus on personal well-being and mental health.

Compassionate Inquiry Therapy

The goal of Compassionate Inquiry sessions is to identify harmful patterns, buried memories, and underlying assumptions that influence undesirable behaviors. By understanding the unconscious thought process or motivations, we can alter the thinking patterns and resulting actions.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing is a mind-body intervention ideal for those with a history of traumatic experiences or PTSD. These negative experiences can leave a mark on our mind, body, and soul for months, years, and even decades. This practice doesn’t focus on harmful experiences but explores them safely and addresses the physical response to restore natural functioning.

Experiential Aromatherapy Workshops

Scents and aromas travel from the nose to the nerves and then to the emotional center of the brain. The right blend can improve mood and promote relaxation. Our workshops include personalized essential oil rollers, essential oil room sprays for sleep, and aromatic solutions for anxiety.

Physical Health and Nutrition Interventions

You will have the opportunity to work with our Certified Personal Trainers and Certified Nutritionists to create a fitness and nutrition plan that is aligned with your goals and capacity.
