For Adults For Adolescents Therapy Support Groups Our Approach About Us

Our Approach

Our approach is designed to treat the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – through the integration of traditional clinical and medical treatment alongside holistic therapies.

an INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

Individualized, Whole-Person Treatment

We often hear that the difference between Luna and other treatment and therapy centers is the space we provide for clients to struggle and experience challenges without fear of judgment. Clients tell us they feel seen, heard, and safe to be authentically themselves.

Feeling safe starts with establishing a relationship of trust. Our clinicians take time to understand our clients, including their unique attachment style and capacity for emotional regulation, before engaging them with specific treatment interventions and developing treatment goals.

At Luna, we're committed to holding space for our clients and their unique process of recovery and healing. Our individualized, whole-person approach to treatment provides a flexible level of care and the support clients need throughout their journey, along with the guidance to experience deep and lasting transformation.

We understand that deciding to heal isn’t easy. Our services are designed to address mental, physical, and spiritual wellness, with the ultimate goal of moving toward wholeness and acceptance. Our first step is to engage our clients at a deep level, with the hope that they’ll join us.

We offer a full range of therapeutic services, including individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy, and our treatment team participates in continual training in both existing and promising new techniques. Within our programs, we integrate traditional evidence-based clinical and medical approaches with innovative and holistic therapies, including neurotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), family systems therapy, trauma therapies, psychodrama, yoga, and meditation, in addition to other modalities.

THERAPEUTIC FRAMEWORKS

The Models Behind Our Approach

The clinical and medical experts on our team are deeply educated and experienced in a range of modalities. This expertise allows us to customize treatment plans according to each client’s unique needs.

Attachment-Based Treatment

Attachment-Based Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the importance of early relationships and attachments in shaping an individual's emotional and relational well-being. The theory is rooted in attachment theory, which was developed by psychologist John Bowlby and later expanded by Mary Ainsworth and others. Every client at Luna completes an attachment measure designed to help their therapist understand their attachment style. The client engages in a process to explore how attachment relates to their emotional regulation and capacity to remain engaged in recovery. All of our therapists are extensively trained in understanding how to develop treatment interventions informed by a client’s attachment style.

Family Systems Therapy

We think of the family as a system of interconnected and interdependent individuals, where changes in one part of the system can impact the entire system . In Family Systems Therapy, our focus is on understanding the patterns of interaction, communication, and behavior within the family, and we engage families as part of the recovery process through family therapy, marital therapy, and weekly family support meetings. Our interventions are designed to help the family develop new ways of communicating, improve boundaries, and develop realistic expectations of change.

Neurotherapy

Neurofeedback is used as a complementary therapy to help those with substance use disorder break the cycle of use by becoming aware of and changing the way their brain functions, so they can better manage their addiction. Neurofeedback can be used to help decrease the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and shorten the duration of detoxification. It’s also commonly used as a therapeutic tool to treat depression and anxiety.

Substance use can lead to changes in brain structures responsible for memory, learning, and impulse control. These changes can persist even after someone stops using drugs or alcohol, contributing to addiction. During a neurofeedback session, a therapist uses an electroencephalogram (EEG) test to measure a client's brain activity in response to audio or video stimuli. (EEG sensors don’t send any signal to the brain, but instead gather information by reading a person’s brainwaves.) The therapist tracks the ebb and flow of brainwave patterns in real-time and sets specific training criteria and goals to help a client retrain their brain and promote self-regulation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach used to treat substance use disorder and a variety of mental health conditions. DBT can help clients learn new ways to cope with their emotions, memories, and urges. Clients learn to accept their feelings as a valid part of their experience, and build awareness of the complex emotions and thought structures that influence their behavior and choices.

DBT focuses on developing four main skills: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. The goal of DBT is to help clients shift from feeling out of control to feeling in control in difficult situations; establish emotional regulation and engagement; and improve their overall health and quality of life.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help individuals overcome the negative effects of trauma. Developed by Laney Rosenzweig, a licensed marriage and family therapist, it combines elements of established therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and guided imagery. ART recognizes the interconnectedness of mind and body in the experience and resolution of trauma. Techniques such as deep breathing and relaxation exercises may be incorporated to address physical aspects of trauma. At Luna, we believe in the importance of understanding trauma as part of recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an effective talk therapy treatment that can be used to address many mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression. When used to treat substance use disorder, clients work with a therapist to identify and change negative thought patterns and unhealthy behaviors. The goal of CBT is to help clients learn self-acceptance and how to better cope with stress and difficult emotions.

CBT typically consists of weekly individual sessions and group skills training sessions. In individual sessions, clients work one-on-one with their therapist to identify and change any thoughts or behaviors that are contributing to their distress. In group sessions, they learn and practice skills such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
