My Style

My therapeutic approach focuses on empowering you to become your own therapist and emphasizes short-term, problem-focused treatment. It aligns with the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which aims to provide practical skills for managing challenges effectively.


By actively involving you in the therapeutic process, I aim to help you develop self-awareness, identify problem areas, and work together to find practical solutions. This approach encourages you to take control of your mental health and equips you with the tools needed to address your concerns independently.


Short-term, problem-focused therapy allows us to concentrate our efforts on specific issues. By efficiently targeting and addressing your main concerns, we can make meaningful progress in a shorter period. This approach is especially helpful if you're dealing with specific problems or seeking immediate relief from distressing symptoms.


Overall, this style of therapy can provide focused, practical assistance for resolving your challenges. It empowers you to take an active role in your healing journey and become your own agent of change. Together, we will work towards overcoming your obstacles and achieving your therapy goals.

Personalized Treatment Planning Assistance

 While Dr. Amber Moreland only has space for a limited number of clients, she offers a valuable service in treatment planning assistance. This service is designed to help you identify the most effective interventions and connect you with the right therapist to meet your unique needs. 


This service will help to provide you with a personalized roadmap for your mental health care. Dr. Moreland will work with you to:


  • Assess Your Needs: Diagnostic intake that helps to screen for acute symptoms and challenges.  This will help understand your specific mental health concerns and goals.
  • Recommend Interventions: Suggestions for level of care and specific interventions tailored to your situation.
  • Find the Right Fit: Assistance in finding and identifying therapists who match your preferences and therapeutic needs.


 Cost: $350 If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance may cover 60% to 70% of this cost, depending on your specific plan. We recommend checking with your insurance company to confirm your coverage details. Specifically, you can ask them what they reimburse for CPT code 90791, which is used for psychiatric diagnostic evaluations.

TRAUMA-Focused intervention

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)  


$195 per session

(Typically 12 to 16 sessions.)
 

CPT has many benefits for people who have experienced trauma and are dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Here are some important advantages of CPT:
 

  • Addressing beliefs: CPT helps individuals challenge      negative beliefs that come from their traumatic experiences. This can make them feel better and see things from a different perspective.


  • Changing thoughts: CPT helps individuals change their thinking patterns and become more balanced. This can reduce their anxiety and distress.


  • Dealing with emotions: CPT provides a safe place for      people to explore and express their intense emotions related to trauma. This can help them heal emotionally.


  • Learning coping skills: CPT teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms and regain control over their lives.


  • Long-term effects: CPT aims to bring lasting changes by challenging core beliefs. This can lead to sustained improvement in symptoms and increased resilience.
     

The typical length of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's needs, the severity of their symptoms, and the specific goals of therapy. However, CPT typically consists of a structured treatment protocol that spans 12 to 16 sessions.

 

Each session usually lasts for about 60 to 90 minutes, and therapy is typically conducted on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The initial sessions focus on establishing a therapeutic relationship, assessing the individual's symptoms and trauma history, and introducing the core concepts and techniques of CPT.

 

The middle sessions of CPT involve actively working through the trauma-related thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. This often includes utilizing techniques such as written accounts, challenging and modifying maladaptive beliefs, and developing alternative ways of thinking.

 

It's important to remember that everyone's experience with CPT may be different. The outcomes can be influenced by factors like motivation, the relationship between the person and therapist, and the type of trauma experienced. However, CPT consistently shows promise in helping individuals recover from trauma and effectively manage PTSD symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 


$195 per session

(Typically 4 to 12 sessions)


Dr. Moreland specializes in adjunct short-term therapy designed to address specific challenges and promote immediate change. Her targeted solutions approach focuses on areas such as sleep improvement, habit formation, and lifestyle modifications, providing you with the tools to enhance your well-being quickly and effectively. 


What is Adjunct Short-Term Therapy?


Adjunct short-term therapy is a focused therapeutic approach aimed at addressing specific issues within a limited timeframe. This service is ideal for individuals seeking quick and effective strategies to overcome particular challenges without committing to long-term therapy.


What is CBT?


CBT is an effective treatment approach and is backed by evidence and offers hope for improved mental health and overall well-being.


  • CBT helps individuals recognize and challenge negative thoughts and worries that contribute to their emotional challenges. It teaches to identify non-productive and often distressing thinking patterns and replace them with more realistic and helpful thoughts. CBT also involves exposure techniques, where individuals gradually confront their barriers in a supportive way.


  • It helps individuals recognize and challenge distorted thoughts, like self-criticism or negativity, and replace them with more positive thinking. CBT also encourages engaging in enjoyable activities to improve mood and overall well-being.


  • CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) is a specialized form of CBT that targets sleep problems. It helps individuals establish a consistent sleep routine, manage stress, and develop relaxation techniques. CBT-I also addresses unhealthy sleep habits and promotes better sleep hygiene practices.


The typical length of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can vary depending on various factors, including the individual's needs, the complexity of their concerns, and the treatment goals. However, CBT typically involves a structured treatment plan that spans 4 to 12 sessions.


Each session generally lasts around 50 to 60 minutes, and therapy is typically conducted on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. In the initial sessions, the therapist and individual collaboratively establish goals, identify problematic thoughts and behaviors, and begin working on specific strategies to address them.


Throughout the middle sessions, individuals actively engage in therapy exercises and learn new skills to challenge and modify negative thinking patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Homework assignments are often assigned to practice new skills and reinforce the therapeutic work.


Towards the later sessions, the focus is on consolidating progress, reviewing learned skills, and developing a relapse prevention plan. The therapist and individual work together to ensure the acquired skills are integrated into everyday life, allowing for long-term benefits.


It's important to note that the duration of CBT can be flexible and individualized based on progress and specific treatment needs. Some individuals may require more or fewer sessions to achieve their therapy goals. The length of therapy can be adjusted throughout the process to address changing needs and ensure the best possible outcomes.
