The owner of the company, Kelly Eisner, is trained in many different therapeutic methods. You will be given a full evaluation that will determine the best type of therapy for you.

She is trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which offers people coping mechanisms for dealing with stressful situations and teaches them to accept their own reality. She also practices Imagery meditation or guided imagery. This is a relaxation technique in which a person will use their imagination to calm their mind.

Ms. Eisner is trained in the Darling Way that was developed by business professor Brené Brown’s research. Brown studied the way shame holds people back. People with substance use disorders are often shame-oriented and have trouble asserting themselves. They sometimes think in a way that is negative and fallacious.

The Darling Way teaches shame resilience skills. You will be taught how to view your vulnerabilities as courage. You will also learn how to make more meaningful connections with others.

The company offers groups and seminars about The Darling Way, but it can also be used in personal therapy sessions.
