Durham North Carolina

At Elysian Therapeutics LLC, we are committed to offering innovative, science-backed therapies that are grounded in the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and holistic health. Our approach to mental health care integrates both traditional and cutting-edge modalities, recognizing the complex interplay between the mind, body, and emotional well-being. We believe that true healing requires a comprehensive treatment plan that not only addresses symptoms but also targets the underlying neurobiological mechanisms at play. Our services are designed to provide personalized care that is informed by the latest scientific findings, allowing for long-lasting and sustainable healing. We focus on the unique needs of each individual, combining evidence-based psychological therapies with holistic practices that support optimal cognitive, emotional, and physical health.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most extensively researched and empirically validated therapeutic approaches for treating a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CBT operates on the principle that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and by identifying and modifying maladaptive thought patterns, we can alter emotional and behavioral responses.

Through CBT, we help clients identify cognitive distortions and develop healthier, more adaptive thought patterns. This therapy is rooted in neuroscientific research that emphasizes the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity, enabling individuals to reshape their thought processes and emotional responses, leading to improved well-being and enhanced coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective treatment for individuals struggling with emotion regulation, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties. Developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), DBT has been shown to be effective for a wide range of emotional disorders. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with principles of mindfulness and acceptance to help individuals tolerate distress and improve emotional regulation.

Our DBT program is informed by research in emotion regulation theory and the neurobiology of emotion, using strategies that promote neural resilience and self-compassion. Clients learn how to regulate overwhelming emotions, enhance interpersonal relationships, and develop healthier coping mechanisms through both individual therapy and group skills training.

Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback is an innovative, non-invasive therapy that utilizes real-time data on brain activity to help individuals optimize cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall mental health. Neurofeedback trains the brain to function more efficiently by providing feedback on brainwave patterns, which can be consciously adjusted over time.

Grounded in neuroscientific principles of neuroplasticity, neurofeedback has been shown to be effective in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and trauma-related disorders. By directly engaging with the brain’s electrical activity, neurofeedback provides individuals with the tools to increase focus, enhance emotional stability, and reduce stress. This cutting-edge therapy is supported by decades of research demonstrating its efficacy in fostering long-term neurobiological change.

Trauma-Informed Yoga

Our Trauma-Informed Yoga integrates the therapeutic benefits of mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation to help individuals heal from past trauma. Research in the field of trauma recovery underscores the profound impact that trauma can have on the body and mind, and how healing from trauma requires a holistic approach that addresses both the mind and body.

This service is informed by the principles of somatic therapy and neurobiology, recognizing that trauma is often stored in the body’s tissues and can manifest in both emotional and physical symptoms. Through Trauma-Informed Yoga, individuals can re-establish a sense of safety within their bodies, release stored tension, and build resilience against future stressors. This practice has been shown to promote neurobiological regulation, improve autonomic nervous system balance, and foster mind-body integration.

Integrative Nutrition Therapy

Emerging research in the fields of neurobiology and psychiatry has highlighted the critical role that nutrition plays in mental health. At Elysian, our Integrative Nutrition Therapy goes beyond traditional dietary counseling by addressing the gut-brain axis, neurochemical balance, and the nutritional factors that influence cognitive function and emotional stability.

Our nutrition experts provide personalized dietary plans that focus on brain-boosting foods, micronutrient optimization, and the reduction of inflammation — all of which play a crucial role in supporting mental clarity, mood stability, and neuroplasticity. By addressing nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, we help clients foster a healthier brain and a more resilient mind.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Somatic Experiencing is a body-centered therapy that helps individuals release trauma stored in the nervous system. Based on the principles of polyvagal theory and neurobiology, SE focuses on the body’s natural ability to process and release trauma by working with the autonomic nervous system.

 

This therapy is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced trauma, chronic stress, or dissociation, helping them reconnect with their bodies and release the stored tension that impedes healing. SE promotes neural integration, restores a sense of safety, and enhances emotional regulation by recalibrating the fight-or-flight response and facilitating nervous system balance.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a therapeutic approach that combines mindfulness practices with traditional cognitive therapy to help individuals break the cycle of depression and anxiety. Research has shown that MBCT is particularly effective in preventing relapse in individuals with recurrent depression, as it helps clients develop a mindful awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.

MBCT draws on the neuroscience of attention and mindfulness to train individuals to recognize negative thought patterns without becoming overwhelmed by them. This practice improves executive functioning, reduces rumination, and increases emotional awareness, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Energy Healing

Our Energy Healing practices integrate ancient modalities such as Reiki with modern principles of biofield science and energy medicine. Research in the fields of quantum physics and bioenergy suggests that the body’s energy fields can influence its physical and emotional health. Through Energy Healing, we help restore balance to the body’s energy systems, promoting emotional release, physical relaxation, and overall well-being.

This service is designed to complement other therapies, helping clients maintain neurobiological balance and foster a sense of peace and connectedness.

Each individual is unique, and we integrate scientific research, modern therapies, and holistic practices to craft a tailored approach to your mental, emotional, and physical health.
