Therapy is an act of connection—with another person and with yourself. At Arch Bridge Psych Consultants, I aim to provide a secure, thoughtful space where understanding replaces fear and connection becomes possible again.
Treatment
Style of Therapy
Therapy is an act of connection—with another person and with yourself. At Arch Bridge Psych Consultants, we aim to provide a secure, thoughtful space where understanding replaces fear and connection becomes possible again.
Our main therapy framework is the mentalizing stance derived from the Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), an attachment-based, evidence-based therapy, while incorporating additional interventions borrowed from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy CBT, Unifying Therapy, and Dialectic-Behavioral Therapy DBT. Dr. Mennesson is a trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) who uses the Somatic Experiencing modality for trauma-related therapy.
