Our Treatment Specialties
At Budd Therapy we are committed to tailor each session to a client’s wants and needs.
Although we are trained in many different treatment modalities the therapists are specialized in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), We use a holistic approach, treating not just the mind but the whole body.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
At Budd Therapy, we specialize in providing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to individuals seeking relief from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences.
Our team of compassionate and skilled therapists is dedicated to helping clients heal and regain control over their lives.
​
Some of the ways EMDR can help issues include:
Trauma & PTSD
​
We help individuals process and resolve post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma caused by experiences such as childhood abuse, accidents, violence, or military combat. EMDR allows the brain to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing distress and improving emotional resilience.
Depression & Low Self-Esteem
​
Unprocessed trauma often contributes to depression and self-worth challenges. EMDR therapy helps individuals shift limiting beliefs, release emotional pain, and build a more positive self-image.
Relationship & Attachment Issues
​
Early life experiences shape how we connect with others. We work with individuals struggling with attachment wounds, relationship patterns, and interpersonal challenges, helping them develop healthier connections and emotional security.
Performance & Life Transitions
​
For those facing career changes, academic stress, or performance anxiety, EMDR enhances confidence, motivation, and resilience. This approach is valuable for athletes, professionals, and students seeking to overcome mental blocks.
Anxiety & Panic Disorders
​
Chronic anxiety, panic attacks, and excessive worry can be debilitating. Through EMDR, we target the root causes of anxiety, helping clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop a sense of calm and control.
Grief & Loss
​
Coping with the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. Our EMDR-based approach supports individuals in processing grief, finding closure, and moving forward with greater peace.
Chronic Pain & Somatic Symptoms
​
Trauma can manifest as physical symptoms such as chronic pain, headaches, and tension. EMDR can help uncover and address the underlying emotional components of these conditions, leading to symptom relief.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) believes that every person has parts that were developed over time based on life experiences.
The goal of IFS therapy is to help individuals develop a more harmonious relationship between
their parts, with the Self taking on a leadership role in guiding and healing them. This approach
emphasizes self-compassion, mindfulness, and understanding the underlying needs of each part.
Treatment typically involves:
-
Identifying parts: Helping the client recognize and become aware of their various parts, and how they influence behavior and emotions.
-
Building trust with parts: The therapist facilitates a relationship of understanding and non-judgment with each part, allowing healing to take place.
-
Healing exiles: Working with the vulnerable exiled parts to release the trauma or pain they are holding.
-
Integrating parts: Bringing the parts into a cooperative relationship, so they work together in harmony, with the Self at the helm.
IFS can be used to address a variety of mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties. It is especially helpful for those who have experienced complex trauma, as it allows them to process painful emotions safely and with support.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based approach to treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
In CBT, the focus is on understanding and changing the patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress.
​
Focus on Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors
CBT operates on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. We may work on identifying:
-
Cognitive distortions: Negative or irrational thought patterns (e.g., overgeneralizing, catastrophizing) that can make you feel worse.
-
Behavioral patterns: Unhelpful behaviors or avoidance tactics that reinforce negative thinking and emotional distress.
-
Emotion regulation: Learning to respond more effectively to emotional triggers.
Cognitive Restructuring
One of the key techniques in CBT is cognitive restructuring, which helps you challenge and replace negative, unhelpful thoughts with more balanced, realistic ones. For example, if you tend to think, "I'm going to fail," you’ll work on recognizing and reframing that thought into something more constructive, like, "I might face challenges, but I can handle them."
Focus on Practical Solutions
CBT tends to be more practical and solution-focused compared to other therapies. It is not about delving deeply into past experiences but instead about addressing present-day challenges with actionable strategies. You might work on improving how you cope with stress, handle conflict, or deal with negative thinking.
Skills for Long-term Change
The ultimate goal of CBT is to teach you how to manage and change your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors independently. As you learn new coping skills and ways of thinking, you should feel more empowered to handle future challenges without needing ongoing therapy.
What You’ll Gain
-
A better understanding of how your thoughts and behaviors influence your emotions.
-
Practical tools and strategies to challenge negative thoughts and improve emotional responses.
-
Increased resilience and a sense of mastery over stress, anxiety, or depression.
-
Long-term skills to help prevent relapse and maintain well-being.
CBT is highly structured and focused on the present, helping you understand and change the thought patterns and behaviors that keep you stuck. If you're ready to put in the work and engage with the process, CBT can be an effective way to gain more control over your mental health.
