The following evidence-based practices are utilized by the clinical team at the RMH clinics to provide the highest standard of care:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
Client-Centered Therapy (also known as Person-Centered Therapy or Rogerian Therapy), is a non-directive form of talk therapy developed by humanist psychologist Carl Rogers during the 1940s and 1950s. In this approach, you act as an equal partner in the therapy process, while your therapist remains non-directive—they don't pass judgments on your feelings or offer suggestions or solutions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy that uses rhythmic left-right (bilateral) stimulation to help people recover from trauma or other distressing life experiences.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach designed to help people find the motivation to make a positive behavior change. This client-centered approach is particularly effective for people who have mixed feelings about changing their behavior.

Stella was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in her early 20’s and lived a life of hospitalizations and severe mood swings that resulted in the loss of her job, her apartment and countless relationships. At one point, she even lost the ability to care for her basic needs. Eight years ago, she was referred to the RMH clinic in Sanger. Through individualized interventions and compassionate treatment she was able to learn and utilize coping skills to manage her symptoms after being released from the hospital for a suicide attempt. Today, after years of help, she is stable on her medication, has a fulltime job and belongs to a social group that understands and loves her. She attributed her success to the faithfulness of the staff she worked with over the years. At her treatment graduation party she expressed gratitude to everyone at RMH, especially her psychiatrist, Dr. Ensom and her favorite clinician, Karina for helping her build a life worth living. She said what mattered most was that she always “felt like a part of the team,” and that while she was proud of her success, she would miss them.
