Therapy at Bridgewell Cognitive Health

Therapy at Bridgewell is collaborative, goal-oriented, and thoughtfully paced. Care emphasizes understanding the full clinical picture rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation. Many clients arrive after prior therapy experiences that felt unstructured, unclear, or mismatched to their needs.

Weekly sessions are often recommended at the start of therapy to support consistency, skill development, and momentum. Frequency is adjusted over time based on clinical needs and treatment goals.

Treatment may be helpful for concerns such as:

• Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, agoraphobia, health anxiety, and phobias)

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and intrusive thoughts

• ADHD and executive functioning challenges

• Autism and autistic burnout

• Co-occurring ADHD and Autism (AuDHD)

• Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), including skin picking and hair pulling

• Emotional regulation difficulties, chronic stress, and burnout

• Relationship and communication challenges connected to neurodivergent traits

A formal diagnosis is not required to begin therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches

Therapy at Bridgewell Cognitive Health is grounded in research-supported approaches that are practical, structured, and adaptable to individual needs.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on understanding patterns of thought and behavior that maintain anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm, and developing skills to respond differently.

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized form of therapy for OCD and anxiety disorders that helps reduce fear-driven patterns by gradually changing responses to distressing thoughts or situations.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in building psychological flexibility, clarifying values, and reducing the struggle with difficult thoughts and emotions.

• DBT-informed skills help strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, particularly during periods of heightened stress or emotional intensity.

Approaches are selected collaboratively based on goals, symptoms, and how each individual processes information and emotion.
