Our Approach

The Foundation House approach to treating Anxiety Disorder:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a widely used and evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach designed to help individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to their difficulties or distress. CBT is rooted in the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and that changing negative thought patterns can lead to changes in emotional well-being and behavior. CBT is used at Foundation House in both group and individual therapeutic settings.

Mindfulness and Self-Regulation Practices

Mindfulness and self-regulation practices embody therapeutic approaches dedicated to nurturing present-moment awareness, fostering emotional regulation, and honing the capacity to respond to situations with intention and a non-reactive mindset. Revered for their efficacy, these practices stand as pivotal components in Foundation House’s treatment of diverse mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders. These methods are implemented during daily meditation sessions, yoga practice, and Emotional Regulation group.

Holistic-Based Approaches

Holistic-based approaches at Foundation House encompass a comprehensive and integrative methodology that addresses the interconnected aspects of an individual’s well-being, acknowledging the interplay between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. This inclusive approach goes beyond symptom management to promote overall health and harmony. Integrating various holistic interventions, such as nutrition, therapeutic float tanks, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, exercise, yoga, meditation, music, art, and creative expression can complement traditional treatments at Foundation House by addressing multiple aspects of healing.
