    What is behavioral therapy?

    Behavioral therapy is a type of talk therapy that supports people with a variety of mental health concerns. 

    It helps patients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then learn healthier ways to think and respond.

    What can behavioral therapy treat?

    Rula therapists and psychiatric providers trained in behavioral therapy are experts in treating a wide range of conditions.

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

    Research shows that behavioral therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms, as well as feelings of depression and anxiety in people with PTSD.

    Mood disorders

    Therapy can help patients who have difficulty regulating their emotions identify and challenge negative ways of thinking and behaving.

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

    Exposure and response prevention can reduce the impact of triggers over time through gradual exposure to stressors in a controlled environment.

    Eating disorders

    With the support of a therapist, behavioral changes can foster new coping mechanisms and a healthier relationship with food.

    Substance use disorders

    Behavioral therapy can help people with substance use disorders identify harmful behavior patterns, find motivation for change, and develop healthier coping skills.

    Interpersonal conflict

    Patients can improve communication and conflict resolution skills by learning to manage emotions and reactions in relationships.

    Common behavioral therapy techniques

    Exposure therapy

    A safe, research-backed therapy that helps patients engage with triggers in a controlled environment with the support of a trained therapist.

    Behavioral activation

    Encourages people to partake in activities that cultivate joy and fulfillment, causing positive changes in thinking over time. 

    Mindfulness-based stress reduction

    Activities like breathwork, body scanning, yoga, and meditation can increase awareness and reduce stress. 

    Cognitive restructuring

    Focuses on recognizing irrational thoughts and replacing them with more positive and encouraging ones.

    Problem solving

    Behavioral therapy empowers people to take charge of their mental health by breaking challenges into smaller, more manageable parts.
