Types of therapy

Healing for you — and your relationships

Individual therapy

One person, one room, one trusted connection. Process trauma, build coping skills, understand thought patterns and reconnect with your values — at your own pace.

Group therapy

A safe, judgment-free space for emotional regulation, boundaries, relapse prevention, shame resilience and mindfulness. Many clients say group became their favorite part.

Couples therapy

Rebuild trust and emotional safety, improve communication and navigate boundaries in recovery, when clinically appropriate.

Family relationship therapy

Parent-child dynamics, sibling conflict, generational trauma and blended-family stress — helping loved ones heal together.

Trauma-informed therapy

Safety, consent and control at every stage

All of our therapy is trauma-informed. You will never be forced to talk about anything before you're ready. When you are, we offer:

EMDR for processing trauma safely
DBT for emotional regulation and boundaries
Mindfulness-based interventions for grounding and presence
Psychoeducation on how trauma affects the nervous system

Trauma-informed care isn't a special track — it's the foundation of everything we do.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose individual or group therapy?

Most clients take part in both as part of their care plan, but we'll personalize your structure based on what's clinically appropriate.

Is therapy included in outpatient treatment?

Yes. Therapy is a core part of IOP and PHP at Valiant.

Can I involve my family or partner?

Yes. We offer couples and family relationship therapy when it supports your recovery goals.

What if I'm not ready to talk about trauma?

That's okay. We work at your pace and only explore trauma when it feels safe and appropriate.

Is therapy at Valiant just talk-based?

No. We integrate experiential, skills-based and somatic therapies alongside traditional approaches.
