Therapy for Medical Conditions and Health Conditions
Health and Medical Condition Treatment in Greenwich, Darien, Westport, Westchester, and Surrounding Areas in Connecticut and New York
At Sala Psychology, we understand the profound impact that health and medical conditions can have on your mental well-being. Whether navigating the complexities of a cancer diagnosis, coping with a terminal illness, seeking smoking cessation support, managing diabetes, or overcoming insomnia, our therapists provide evidence-based interventions.
Research has shown that our mental health has a strong impact on our physical health, and vice-versa. We provide a variety of evidence-based interventions grounded in CBT for many health conditions, while also incorporating ACT and mindfulness-based strategies. We will work together to understand the factors that may influence your condition, learn coping strategies, improve health behaviors, improve stress management, and change unhelpful beliefs related to your health.
We treat issues related to the following:
What is your treatment approach?
Depending on the diagnosis, we incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based Therapies in our treatment approach. We will teach you effective strategies for living with and managing your condition. We will work with you to set clear lifestyle goals to enhance your quality of life and monitor these behaviors. We will help you reframe unhelpful thought patterns and explore what brings your life value and meaning. For those struggling with terminal illness, cancer, and other difficult diagnoses, we will work with you to process your emotions, discuss fears, work through anxiety, help you make sense of your life, and find sources of support.
What experience do you have treating health and medical conditions?
Our psychological health is strongly related to our physical health and well-being. We have extensive training in health psychology and a strong background in the intersection of physical and mental health, including Health Psychology/Behavioral Health-focused internships at the Connecticut VA and Yale University.​
