Introducing Our Counseling Services

At Bridging The Gap our counselors have master’s degrees and are licensed through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Our lead counselor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and is skilled and trained in several different modalities listed below:

Dialectical Behavior Group Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that focuses on changing behavioral patterns that can lead to mental health challenges and emotional distress. “Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.”

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.

DBT with the DBT PE protocol is a comprehensive treatment designed to help these tremendously suffering individuals recover from trauma and build lives they experience as worth living

ERP is an evidence-based exposure therapy aimed at reducing the amount of time you spend engaging in compulsive behaviors. When utilizing ERP Therapy, we usually don't need to identify the core of the issue—the why—to treat OCD effectively. ERP uses structured exercises and tasks, as well as homework assignments, to help you pinpoint the obsession and gradually become exposed to the fears you usually avoid. In this way, we can eventually reduce compulsive behaviors and rituals.

Telehealth Services Now Available

We are now offering telehealth and teletherapy, services through telehealth. Please contact us to learn more and see if you qualify.

Telehealth involves the use of technology to deliver healthcare services to individuals removing the need to travel for care. Virtual appointments. Rather than a face-to-face medical visit or therapy session, virtual appointments allow our providers and clinicians to deliver treatment or counseling over the phone or through video conferencing.

How it works:
After you have an initial appointment with your clinician, you can make future appointments to talk with them via smartphone or webcam. Telehealth appointments can be billed through insurance just like in-person appointments (some services not available through telehealth).

What about privacy?
At Bridging The Gap, we use a secure, HIPAA-compliant application to ensure the confidentiality of your information. Your sessions are private and never recorded or monitored. We recommend finding a quiet, private space for your session.

Is it difficult to use?
No! You can access the app from any device with a webcam.

Virtual appointments work the same way as our in-person treatment but from the comfort of your home. Telehealth sessions is an ideal option if you’re not located near  our facilitiy or you have mobility/accessibility challenges. Interactive audio and video technology make your virtual visit as therapeutically beneficial as an in-person session, without the inconvenience of traveling to a clinic. Our licensed and credentialed mental health professionals will individualize your care and use the latest evidence-based treatment approaches to help get you feeling like your best self.
