Psychotherapy involves the treatment of mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and dual diagnosis (when mental health disorders and substance use disorders co-occur) through psychological rather than medical practices. Determining the most helpful type of psychotherapy depends upon each person’s individual needs.

At Mile High Recovery Center, we take the time to get to know our clients to ensure that we provide addiction therapies best suited to their unique needs. Our residential treatment center offers a full spectrum of psychiatric services. Call 303-268-2144 to learn more about how Mile High Recovery Center can help you or your loved one.

The Different Types Of Psychotherapy Programs In Denver

There are many ways to treat mental health and co-occurring disorders effectively. The psychotherapies used will depend upon the therapist and the needs of the individual. Most psychotherapists use an integrated approach that draws from multiple theories to customize an individualized treatment plan. Some common evidence-based types of psychotherapy include:

  • Interpersonal psychotherapy (ITP)–Offered in individual and group sessions, ITP focuses on relieving symptoms by improving relationships and communication. The focus is on the present versus the past.
  • Individual therapy involves working one-on-one with a therapist and drawing on multiple treatment modalities.
  • Group therapy–Small groups of individuals who share similar challenges and goals can receive peer support while practicing new behaviors and coping skills.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)–Helps identify, understand, and change the unhealthy thoughts and feelings that influence maladaptive behaviors.
  • Trauma-informed therapy–Recognizes trauma symptoms, acknowledges the impacts of trauma on current functioning, and works to heal trauma.

 

Supportive treatment relies on the therapeutic alliance, or working relationship, between clients and therapists to promote growth and healing. Research has shown that supportive therapy effectively treats various mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. At Mile High Recovery Center, psychotherapy is part of our comprehensive, integrated approach to treatment that also involves medication management, 12-step programs, holistic therapies, and community connections.

Getting The Most From Psychotherapy In Denver

Successful recovery relies on your ability to engage in treatment fully. Many people are unable to be objective about their need for treatment. Still, others are in denial about how their symptoms are impacting not only their lives but the lives of their loved ones.

Accepting the need for mental health treatment is the first step toward reaping the benefits of treatment. Other tips for getting the most out of psychotherapy in Denver include:

  • Set specific goals–Identifying goals for therapy helps direct the course of sessions and measure progress. Seeing progress helps you stay motivated.
  • Do not hold back–Successful therapy relies on your complete honesty. It can be hard to open up initially but remember, therapy is a judgment-free safe space.
  • Do the work–Therapy involves more than just talking. You have to make an effort to apply what you talk about to your daily life.
  • Focus on the bigger picture–One of the goals of therapy is to find relief from your symptoms. However, you also need to uncover the root causes of your symptoms.
  • Do not expect advice–The therapist’s role is to guide you in making healthy changes. While they will give you things to work on, do not expect them to provide you with answers to the “why” of things.

 

Therapy is hard work, and it is easy to get frustrated when you feel like you are not progressing quickly enough. Remember, therapy is not a quick fix. It took time for your challenges to develop, and it will take time to overcome them as well.
