The 8 Best Evidence-Based Mental Health Treatments

Much like there are many routes to getting to a destination, our brains can use many paths to support our well-being. At Nōmina Integrated Health, we have many ways of which to support you with our evidence-based therapies.

We are the leader in the treatment of many mental health and sexual health disorders using advanced techniques such as Direct Neurofeedback, ISTDP, CBT/DBT, and other evidence-based modalities. 

Therapies like ISTDP, CBT, and Direct Neurofeedback foster lifelong learning and critical thinking by promoting positive treatment outcomes while being highly effective and less costly.

ISTDP

Intensive-Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy focuses on releasing unconscious feelings, anxieties and defences that build up as a result of blocked and avoided complex emotions. This form of therapy is specifically designed to be carried out in a limited number of sessions.

EMDR

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy focus on diminishing negative emotions that are associated with memories of traumatic events, through the use of rapid sets of eye movement. EDMR uses bilateral stimulation to organize negative and positive emotions, feelings and thoughts, in order to update hurtful memories and integrate new perspectives into the present day. 

CBT

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a form of talk therapy that works on changing dysfunctional behaviours, thoughts and emotions by disentangling negative or irrational beliefs. CBT focuses on reframing a person’s cognitive process through attitudes and behaviours, in order to identify harmful thoughts and overcome their emotional distress.

ISTDP

DBT

​

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy focuses on providing individuals with the skills necessary to manage painful emotions and establish healthy relationships. DBT focuses on four main skill sets; mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Direct Neuro-Feedback

​

Direct Neurofeedback is a technique that directs extremely low-strength, unnoticeable electromagnetic currents into the brain.

ACT​

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a form of mindfulness therapy that helps patients accept challenges they may face in life. ACT focuses on one’s behaviours and character traits in the aims of reducing avoidant coping styles.

Gottman Method

​

The Gottman Method aims to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples

​

Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) is attachment based and conceptualizes the negative, rigid interaction patterns and absorbing negative affect that typify distress in couple relationships in terms of emotional disconnection and insecure attachment.
