Pursuing Big-Picture Healing

Bold Steps Behavioral Health offers a comprehensive array of evidence-based treatment options. From cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to individual counseling and group sessions, clients have access to proven approaches tailored to their unique needs. The skilled therapists at Bold Steps are committed to helping clients develop coping skills, process emotions, and achieve lasting positive change. From family dynamics to lifestyle obstacles, they set clients up for success by taking a big-picture look at how healing fits their lives.

Behavioral Therapy as the Cornerstone

Bold Steps is committed to matching clients with the right combination of therapy practices to help clients with their addiction and recovery process. They use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Common techniques include cognitive restructuring to reframe distorted thinking, behavioral activation to increase engagement in positive activities, and exposure therapy to reduce avoidance. Through dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), clients learn valuable skills to better regulate emotions and develop healthier coping mechanisms. DBT incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients stay grounded and aware of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Both modalities lead to newfound resilience to better navigate life’s challenges.

Additional Forms of Treatment

At Bold Steps, clients can explore diverse treatment options beyond CBT and DBT. Two trauma-informed therapists are on staff to provide specific approaches like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma therapy. Art and equine therapy help clients process emotions through non-verbal expression. Psycho-education groups include speaking series, presentations, and video trainings on substance use and healthy coping mechanisms. And, family/couples counseling nurtures change in a safe setting under the guidance of a certified therapist with a spouse and/or loved ones.

Continuum of Care

The recovery journey doesn’t end when clients leave Bold Steps. They offer robust aftercare and alumni support services to help clients maintain sobriety and prevent relapse. Their alumni community provides a strong network of encouragement and accountability.
