The Enterhealth Difference

Healing looks different for everyone. That’s why Enterhealth offers a broad range of therapeutic approaches across our residential and outpatient programs. With an integrative, whole-person philosophy, our clinicians personalize each treatment plan based on a patient’s unique history, challenges, and goals.

No single method works for everyone—so we combine evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, experiential techniques, and relational work to help people move from survival to stability to lasting emotional health.

Evidence-Based Behavioral Therapies

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT teaches patients how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors.

By identifying distorted or automatic thought patterns, individuals learn to reframe unhelpful thinking, challenge assumptions, and adopt more balanced perspectives. This leads to improved coping, clearer decision-making, and healthier responses to stress. CBT is highly structured, practical, and supported by decades of research.

Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Patients learn four core skill sets:

  • Mindfulness to stay grounded and aware
  • Emotion Regulation to manage intense feelings
  • Distress Tolerance to navigate crises without making things worse
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness to communicate confidently and maintain stable relationships

DBT is especially effective for individuals who struggle with emotional reactivity, impulsivity, or chronic relationship turmoil.

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

REBT focuses on how beliefs—not events—drive emotional responses. Through the ABC model, patients explore how their interpretations shape their reactions, then learn to replace irrational beliefs with more rational, compassionate ones. Therapists use guided questioning, cognitive exercises, and real-life behavioral assignments to reinforce new thinking patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy helps individuals understand how trauma affects the brain, emotions, physical sensations, and behavior.

Sessions prioritize safety and stabilization first, teaching grounding skills, emotional regulation, and body awareness. Once patients are ready, they begin to gently process traumatic memories at a pace that protects them from overwhelm or retraumatization.

Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy gradually and safely introduces individuals to feared or avoided situations, sensations, or memories.

By repeatedly facing these triggers in a controlled environment, patients learn that their anxiety decreases over time and that they are capable of navigating stress without spiraling. This approach is highly effective for phobias, PTSD, OCD, and anxiety disorders.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Instead of dwelling on problems, SFT helps patients identify strengths, clarify goals, and develop achievable steps toward their preferred future. This approach builds motivation, hope, and momentum—especially for individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed by long-standing challenges.

Specialized & Experiential Therapies

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—most commonly guided eye movements—to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories.

This reduces emotional intensity, allows memories to feel more distant or integrated, and helps individuals shift unhelpful beliefs formed during traumatic events. EMDR is one of the most researched and effective trauma treatments available.

Virtual Reality Therapy

VR therapy immerses patients in controlled, realistic environments where they can safely practice coping skills, emotional regulation, and behavioral responses. VR is particularly helpful for anxiety, phobias, trauma processing, and building confidence in real-world scenarios that once felt overwhelming.

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy works with the body to release stored tension, trauma, and emotional residue.

Through guided breathwork, movement, grounding, and body awareness, patients learn to understand how emotions manifest physically—and how to discharge them safely. This approach strengthens mind-body connection and supports deep emotional processing.

Mindfulness & Mind-Body Practices

Mindfulness-based therapies help patients become more aware of their internal experiences without judgment.

Techniques such as meditation, breathwork, and guided imagery reduce stress, stabilize mood, and improve emotional regulation. These practices also strengthen neural pathways associated with calm, focus, and resilience.

Mental Health Education

Psychoeducational sessions teach patients about symptoms, diagnoses, emotional patterns, medications, communication skills, and self-care strategies. Education empowers patients to understand their experiences, reduce shame, and make informed decisions about their wellbeing.

Systems-Focused Therapies

Family-Systems Therapy

Family-systems therapy views challenges as part of a relational web rather than isolated issues.

Therapists help families identify patterns—such as role assignments, alliances, communication habits, and generational influence—then restructure them to create healthier interactions and stronger emotional support systems.

Person-Centered Therapy

Person-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and authentic connection. By creating a non-judgmental space, therapists empower individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions freely, deepen self-awareness, and discover their own solutions and personal strengths.

Structural Therapy

This approach focuses on reorganizing family hierarchy, boundaries, and interaction styles. Therapists actively guide families in reshaping unhealthy structures and reinforcing healthier relational frameworks that support stability and emotional safety.
