Therapies Offered In Virginia

At AMFM Virginia, we are committed to providing a comprehensive range of therapeutic options tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our therapies encompass various evidence-based approaches, each designed to foster healing and personal growth. From traditional modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to innovative practices such as Expressive Arts Therapy, we offer specialized treatments that support individuals in overcoming challenges and enhancing their well-being. Detailed descriptions of each therapy and their unique benefits are available further in this section.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. It is commonly used to treat a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy

These skills encompass a wide range of competencies, including emotional regulation, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-care. Learning and developing life skills is a crucial component of the therapeutic process, helping individuals achieve greater independence and improve their overall quality of life.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine that focuses on addressing and resolving trauma and stress-related disorders by paying attention to bodily sensations. SE aims to release the physical tension and stored energy associated with traumatic experiences, helping individuals restore their natural capacity for self-regulation and resilience.

Psychodrama

Psychodrama is an experiential form of therapy that uses guided drama and role-playing to help individuals explore and gain insight into their lives. Developed by Dr. Jacob L. Moreno in the early 20th century, psychodrama allows participants to act out events from their past, present, or future, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of their emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

Expressive Arts Therapy

Expressive Arts Therapy is a multimodal therapeutic approach that integrates various forms of creative expression, including visual arts, music, dance, drama, and writing, to promote emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. It is based on the belief that creative expression can help individuals explore their emotions, reduce stress, enhance self-awareness, and improve overall mental health.

Reality Testing

Reality testing is a cognitive process that involves evaluating and differentiating between one’s internal perceptions, thoughts, and feelings and the external reality. It is a crucial component of mental health, allowing individuals to accurately interpret their experiences and respond appropriately to the world around them. 

Experiential Treatments

We understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and one size does not fit all when it comes to therapy. That’s why we are proud to offer a variety of experiential therapies, designed to engage and heal the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. These therapies provide immersive, hands-on experiences that can unlock new insights and pathways to recovery. Below, you’ll find detailed information about each experiential therapy we offer, helping you or your loved one find the approach that best fits your unique path to wellness.

Creative Writing

Involves using writing exercises and expressive storytelling to explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences. This therapeutic approach harnesses the power of narrative and self-expression to promote emotional healing and personal growth.

Life Skills

These skills encompass a wide range of competencies, including emotional regulation, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-care. Learning and developing life skills is a crucial component of the therapeutic process, helping individuals achieve greater independence and improve their overall quality of life.

Pet Therapy

Pet therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy (AAT) or animal-assisted interventions (AAI), is a therapeutic approach that involves interactions between individuals and animals to achieve specific therapeutic goals.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

Physical Fitness & Yoga

Physical fitness and yoga promote stress reduction, emotional regulation, and overall well-being, contributing to improved mental health outcomes. Incorporating physical activity and yoga into a comprehensive treatment plan can enhance the therapeutic process and support long-term mental health recovery.

Equine Therapy

Also known as horse therapy or equine-assisted therapy, is a therapeutic approach that involves interactions between patients and horses. This type of therapy is facilitated by trained professionals who use horses to help individuals achieve emotional growth and improve mental health.
