Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other behavioral interventions can be used to help the individual manage symptoms and develop coping strategies.
Cognitive therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE) / COPE and narrative therapy are used to help the individual process and deal with the traumatic consequences.
The therapist may also incorporate mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, or other stress reduction strategies to help the individual deal with anxiety or stress associated with their trauma.
The therapist can also address any underlying issues that may have contributed to the development of the addiction, such as unprocessed experiences, trauma, etc.
Group therapy or support groups can be offered as a way for the individual to connect with others who are going through similar challenges.
Psychotherapy sessions for ADHD, trauma, PTSD and addiction are tailored to the client’s needs and may include a combination of different approaches and techniques to help the individual manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
The family therapist is trained to help family members understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and develop more effective ways of dealing with stress and conflict. Family therapy sessions can include all members of the family or only those directly involved in the problem.
Some common problems that can be treated in family therapy include:
- Communication difficulties
- Parent-child conflicts
- Marital or relationship problems
- Substance abuse or addiction
Psychotherapy is an effective way to treat these problems. There are different therapeutic approaches that can be used to treat young people, depending on their specific needs and challenges. Some of the most common therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative psychotherapy, and family therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on changing negative thoughts and behavior patterns that may contribute to emotional problems.
In narrative therapy, the positive experiences that contradict the dominant narratives are viewed with curiosity. These experiences help to expand a story or give rise to other stories, which can gain more space in the client’s life and thus open up the possibility of setting a development with increased well-being.
Family therapy aims to involve the family system in therapy sessions to improve communication and relationships between family members.
The length of treatment can vary depending on the specific needs of the young person. In general, psychotherapy for young people can be an effective way to improve their mental health and well-being and help them develop skills to cope with challenges and improve their quality of life.
However, it may be important for clients to gain a greater understanding of diagnoses or symptoms that may point in the direction of a diagnosis.
Psychological testing and assessment involves the use of various standardized methods to evaluate a person’s cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and personality functioning. The purpose of non-diagnostic psychological testing is to provide an objective and comprehensive understanding of a person’s strengths, challenges, and potential areas for improvement.
Identify your specific goals: Before seeking advice, it is important to identify which areas of your practice you want to improve. Would you like to become more confident in your clinical skills, learn how to better market your practice or develop your leadership skills?
Determine the coaching format: Coaching can be done in person or virtually and can be structured as one-on-one sessions or group coaching. Consider which format will work best for you based on your schedule, learning style, and budget.
Set clear expectations: Before you begin coaching, make sure you set clear expectations with your coach. Discuss what you hope to achieve, how often you will meet and what the coaching process will look like. This will help ensure that you and your coach are on the same page and working toward the same goals.
Be open to feedback: Coaching is about growth and development, which means being open to receiving feedback and making changes to improve. Be prepared to take an honest look.
Training: Once the assessment is completed, training is provided to therapists and staff on how to collect and use feedback from clients. This may involve training in specific tools or techniques for gathering feedback as well as strategies for interpreting and applying feedback to improve treatment outcomes.
Implementation: With the training completed, the FIT system is implemented in the organization or the therapist’s practice. This may involve integrating feedback tools into therapy sessions, building a feedback-promoting culture, and ensuring that feedback is regularly collected and analyzed.
Monitoring and evaluation: Finally, ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the FIT system is necessary to ensure that it is working effectively. This may involve tracking client outcomes, monitoring feedback collection rates, and making adjustments to the FIT system as needed to improve results and meet goals.
In general, FIT consultation and implementation involves collaboration between therapists, staff and clients to continuously improve the quality of care provided. By using client feedback to inform treatment decisions, FIT leads to better outcomes, increased client satisfaction, and a more effective and efficient therapy process.
This is a testimonial from my client Sanne. “I have tried many different treatments from medical professionals and therapists for my severe mental distress caused by trauma, ADHD and drug addiction. None of them really helped me, until I started working with Karsten. He was the only one who truly listened to me and respected me”.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy
If you have further questions or doubts, you are welcome to contact us at karsten@krakentalk.com for a free introduction and find out how we can help.
You may consider therapy if you are experiencing mental or emotional distress that is impacting your daily life, relationships, or work. You may also want to consider therapy if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to cope with a difficult situation. A mental health professional can help you determine if therapy is appropriate for your specific needs.
When looking for a therapist, it’s important to find someone who is experienced in treating your specific concerns, and who you feel comfortable talking to. You may also want to consider the therapist’s communication style, availability, and fees. It’s often helpful to schedule an initial consultation to see if you feel a good fit with the therapist.
The cost of therapy can vary depending on factors such as the therapist’s experience and location, the type of therapy, and whether you have insurance coverage. Some therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income, while others may offer reduced fees for a certain number of sessions. It’s best to inquire about fees during the initial consultation.Content
The length of therapy can vary depending on your specific needs and goals. Some people may only need a few sessions to work through a particular issue, while others may continue therapy for several months or even years.
In your first therapy session, you can expect to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your background, and your goals for therapy. Your therapist may ask you questions to get a better understanding of your situation and to develop a treatment plan.
The frequency of therapy sessions can vary depending on your needs and goals. Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may only need to go every other week or once a month. You and your therapist can determine the frequency of sessions that works best for you.
Therapists are bound by ethical and legal guidelines to maintain the confidentiality of their clients. However, there are some exceptions to this, such as if you disclose that you plan to harm yourself or others, or if there is suspicion of child or elder abuse. Your therapist should discuss the limits of confidentiality with you during your first session.
It’s important to feel comfortable and safe in therapy, so if you don’t feel a good fit with your therapist, it’s okay to try someone else. You can discuss your concerns with your therapist or seek out a different mental health professional.
You may start to notice improvements in your mood, thoughts, or behaviors as therapy progresses. It’s also important to regularly evaluate your progress with your therapist to ensure that you are making progress towards your goals.
Yes, trauma and PTSD treatment using therapy is effective in reducing symptoms and improving overall functioning. Evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and prolonged exposure therapy are effective in treating trauma and PTSD. However, the success of therapy can depend on various factors, such as the individual’s support system, the severity and duration of the trauma, and their willingness to engage in therapy. It is crucial to find a therapist who is experienced in working with trauma and PTSD and to communicate openly with them about your needs and goals for treatment. Together, you and your therapist can create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns. Remember that healing from trauma takes time and that progress may not be linear. Patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to engage in the therapy process can all contribute to successful treatment outcomes. Seeking treatment for trauma and PTSD is a courageous and essential step towards improving overall well-being.
Yes, a good therapist should be able to withstand receiving criticism and adapt their treatment approach as needed. Therapists are trained to be receptive to feedback from their clients and to modify their approach based on the client’s needs and preferences. They should also be open to constructive criticism, which can help them improve their skills and better serve their clients. Adaptability and flexibility are essential qualities for therapists, as each client’s needs and circumstances are unique. A therapist who is defensive or unwilling to change their approach based on feedback may not be the best fit for a particular client. Effective therapy requires a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client, with both parties working together to achieve the client’s goals. Overall, a therapist who is receptive to feedback and adaptable in their approach can be a valuable asset in the client’s journey towards healing and growth.
