Medication management can play an important role in treating many mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other psychiatric concerns. At Cottonwood Psychiatry, Dr. Colleen McGuire carefully evaluates each patient’s symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether medication may be beneficial as part of a comprehensive care plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured and goal-oriented form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that may contribute to emotional distress. CBT can be highly effective for conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and panic disorders. Dr. Colleen McGuire works collaboratively with patients to develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve emotional regulation, and create practical strategies that support lasting mental wellness.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps patients develop skills in emotion regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is commonly used to support individuals who experience intense emotions, relationship difficulties, self-destructive behaviors, or chronic stress. Through online DBT-informed therapy, Dr. Colleen McGuire helps patients strengthen their coping skills and navigate challenging situations with greater confidence and stability.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages patients to build psychological flexibility by learning how to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while focusing on behaviors aligned with their personal values and goals. ACT can help individuals better manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions by fostering mindfulness, self-awareness, and purposeful action.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring unconscious patterns, past experiences, and emotional influences that may affect current thoughts, relationships, and behaviors. This therapeutic approach can help patients gain deeper self-awareness and insight into longstanding emotional challenges. At Cottonwood Psychiatry, psychodynamic therapy is tailored to each individual and may support patients seeking a greater understanding of themselves and their emotional experiences.
