What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a proven, collaborative treatment process where you work with a licensed mental health professional to better understand your experiences and develop healthier ways to navigate life. It’s more than just “talking”—it’s about transforming how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re living with anxiety, PTSD, depression, or a combination of challenges, psychotherapy can help you unpack your pain, find meaning in your journey, and reclaim your peace of mind. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to create a treatment plan tailored to you, your history, your personality, and your goals.
Does psychotherapy work?
Psychotherapy helps you develop the skills to cope, heal, and thrive long after your treatment ends. Research indicates that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it. According to the American Psychiatric Association:
“Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotional and psychological well-being and is linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits also include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction.
Numerous studies have identified brain changes in people with mental illness (including depression, panic disorder, PTSD, and other conditions) as a result of undergoing psychotherapy. In most cases, the brain changes resulting from psychotherapy were similar to changes resulting from medication.”
Types of therapy we offer
Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health offers a range of therapeutic approaches backed by research and rooted in compassion. Here’s what you can expect:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps you identify harmful patterns and teaches you how to replace them with healthier, more productive ways of thinking. CBT is especially effective for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
Originally developed for individuals with intense emotional responses, DBT emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It’s often used for mood disorders, personality disorders, and self-destructive behaviors.
Trauma-focused therapy
This approach is specifically designed for individuals who have experienced trauma, including abuse, accidents, loss, or military combat. By processing traumatic memories in a safe environment, trauma-focused therapy helps reduce symptoms like hypervigilance, flashbacks, and emotional numbness.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you accept the things you can’t control and commit to actions that align with your personal values. It’s particularly useful for people who feel stuck or disconnected from what matters most in life.
Mindfulness-based therapy
Grounded in present-moment awareness, mindfulness therapy trains you to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It can reduce anxiety and increase overall well-being, often complementing other therapeutic methods.
Together, these therapeutic approaches offer valuable tools for managing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, fostering resilience and a deeper connection to personal well-being.
