Therapeutic Model
Because many of our clients have been in and out of a variety of treatment facilities before coming to BRS, we use various methods of cognitive restructuring, such as Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (R.E.B.T.) to help people change the way they think and therefore change the way they feel.
