What is Behavioral Medicine
Behavioral medicine uses behavioral health techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation, and mindfulness meditation to promote healthy behaviors and treat psychological symptoms that result from medical conditions.
Healthy behaviors (such as improved sleep quality) have been shown to prevent illness, reduce symptoms of chronic illness (such as lower blood pressure or decrease pain), increase relaxation and improve quality of life.
Successful behavior change begins with lifestyle changes such as a better diet, increased physical activity, and improved sleep. But making these changes can be difficult. Treatment can help.
A few specific treatments
Non-epileptic seizures (PNES)
Non-epileptic seizures can be very disabling. We provide an evidence-based therapy that has been shown to decrease seizures, improve symptoms, and improve overall well being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
CBT-I is an evidence-based behavioral therapy to treat insomnia. Treatment is time-limited and consists of hour long weekly sessions. Each session builds on techniques to effectively improve sleep quality.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ADHD
CBT for ADHD is an evidence-based behavioral therapy to treat executive dysfunction. Medication alone does not address difficulties with everyday executive self-management, which leads to emotional distress. Each session, skills and strategies are taught to develop or enhance ability to manage time, organize and plan daily life. Treatment is time-limited and consists of hour long weekly sessions.
