Modalities · Evidence-Based Treatment
Therapies for mental health, trauma, and emotional dysregulation form the foundation of every Reconnect treatment plan. Our clinicians integrate evidence-based modalities—EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, and more—into a personalized virtual care experience anchored by the RITTM model.
Dr. Darsa’s proprietary A-Z model — Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model — integrates multiple trauma-informed approaches into a comprehensive framework addressing mind, body, and spirit. No single therapy holds all the answers, which is why RITTM weaves together the most effective modalities into one cohesive treatment journey.
Healing from trauma requires more than one approach. By integrating the best of multiple evidence-based modalities, we give each person a truly personalized path to recovery.
Comprehensive treatment from assessment to lasting transformation
Our foundational modalities for processing and resolving deep-rooted traumatic experiences.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing unlocks the nervous system to reprocess disturbing experiences. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR makes distressing memories less intrusive and easier to manage — having helped approximately 500,000 people worldwide.
Learn about EMDR TherapyBrainspotting accesses parts of the brain often hidden from conscious awareness. This powerful brain-body therapy uses fixed eye positions to locate, process, and release deep-seated trauma, enhanced with bilateral sound for deeper processing.
Learn about BrainspottingA body-awareness approach recognizing our innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma. When trauma leaves us feeling stuck, Somatic Experiencing works through the body's own wisdom to gently release stored tension and restore natural resilience.
Learn about Somatic ExperiencingPlaces the body as central in the therapeutic field. This holistic approach treats PTSD and attachment disturbances by integrating cognitive, emotional, and sensorimotor processing — addressing the full spectrum of how trauma lives in the body.
Learn about Sensorimotor PsychotherapyEvidence-based approaches that reshape thought patterns and build lasting emotional regulation skills.
CBT is one of the most widely researched and validated therapeutic approaches. It addresses the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — helping you identify and restructure negative thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies for lasting change.
DBT helps regulate emotions and improve interpersonal relationships by combining the structured approach of CBT with acceptance and mindfulness strategies. Particularly effective for emotional dysregulation, DBT builds skills in distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Complementary modalities that enhance core trauma work through whole-person healing.
Intentional awareness of the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness practices reduce negativity, enhance relationships, and build the capacity to observe thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them.
Heart rhythm coherence technology where positive emotions facilitate improved cognitive function and emotional balance.
A visual language for trauma processing. Traumatic experiences become encoded in images, and art therapy provides a safe way to access and transform them.
Often described as needleless acupuncture for emotions, EFT involves tapping on specific acupuncture points while focusing on distressing thoughts or memories — calming the nervous system and reducing emotional intensity.
Choosing the right therapy for mental health depends on your symptoms, history, and goals. Trauma and PTSD often respond best to EMDR or Brainspotting, while emotional dysregulation tends to benefit from DBT.
Reconnect’s clinical team handles this matching for you. During your initial assessment, we identify which modalities fit your needs and build them into a personalized RITTM-anchored treatment plan.
