Assessment
Psychodiagnostic Assessment is used to help you better understand the factors influencing your behavior, document the challenges an individual is facing at a certain point, determine diagnoses, and to offer guidance for treatment planning and recovery recommendations. Psychodiagnostic assessment is often part of the initial therapy sessions, but is also offered by the clinic independent from treatment services if desired. Dr. Fugitt also offers psychodiagnostic assessment for the purposes of forensic consultation.
Evidence Based Treatment
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an approach to therapy that uses the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help ease pain points and reduce unease. Often, we are trying our hardest to use strategies that seemed to work at one time to help alleviate suffering but find that they no longer work as well. Sometimes we rely on old thinking patterns or behavior strategies that we believe should work that just don’t anymore. CBT helps identify those unhelpful patterns, find out what’s in the way of change, and eventually how to make those changes for good so you finally get the results you are hoping for. CBT is an evidence-based approach which means that it has been researched and its effectiveness is supported by scientific evidence. CBT has demonstrated success in helping people of all ages with various emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Dr. Fugitt uses CBT based techniques to treat many issues including Anxiety, Disordered Eating, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Hoarding, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Depression, Insomnia and sleep problems, and Panic Attacks/Panic Disorder, as well as Phobias and Fears.
