Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Destructive behaviors like addiction, eating disorders and sex addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy teaches partners to build healthy patterns to support recovery.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. The Ranch TN offers creative ways for clients to express themselves such as art and music.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Eating Disorder Treatment

The Ranch treats women with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and other disordered eating patterns. Clients learn the underlying reasons behind their destructive eating patterns. They learn to look at food as a source of nourishment and not a way to cope with emotional pain. Body image work, trauma work and equine therapy are main components of the program.

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy involves caring for and interacting with horses in ways that provide valuable lessons in accountability and in how we relate to others. Equine therapy is an effective approach for addressing and processing underlying issues stemming from trauma and negative past experiences. The Ranch equine program includes equine-assisted therapy groups as well as opportunities for therapeutic and recreational riding.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is based on the discovery that rapid movements of the eye while recalling certain events can reduce anxiety associated with trauma. It has been found effective in clinical trials and has been approved by the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association and the Veteran’s Administration.

Family Therapy

The Ranch works individually with both clients and their families to address the issues that have led the client into treatment. They take a family systems approach to treatment, recognizing the family as a connected, living system; an issue with one of its members is indicative of issues that need to be addressed as a whole unit. They help families understand the various roles each of its members plays in the system, and facilitate healing of the whole unit and the individual parts.

Group Therapy

Clients share with others who understand what they're going through. A mental health professional guides discussions and experiential activities. Clients gain new insights into themselves and their relationships.

Individual Therapy

Clients work closely with a trained mental health professional to get to the root causes of their destructive behaviors. These often include emotional pain, trauma, difficult relationships, attachment issues, low self-esteem and mental health disorders.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to help people shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with recovery. Recreational therapists lead clients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of destructive behaviors, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow clients to process trauma and loosen the grip it has on their present day life.
