NECBT Mild to Low-moderate Autism Spectrum Disorder Program

It's a known fact that many vulnerable Parents and Caregivers who simply want the best for their children (whom they love like there's no tomorrow) become prone to seeking help by visiting clinics and practices specializing in techniques designed to successfully test for and treat Autism Spectrum Disorders that do not take insurance of any sort. These treatments can cause financial stress and further frustration by costing families anywhere from $5,000. to $10,000, or more and once treated no real cognitive, mood or behavioral changes occur. NECBT stays true to it's mission by taking most insurances, refusing to make false promises and not misguiding or misinforming Parents and Caregivers.

NECBT's Autism Spectrum Program includes the modalities of Individual Treatment, Group therapy, Art therapy, Yoga group and Individual massage. These four modalities provide an effective, well rounded program that helps treat symptoms, provide social skills and interaction as well as the relaxation, peace and tranquility needed to reduce stress and anxiety in the life of a child on the spectrum or with special needs.

Substance Abuse

Understanding Alcohol Use, Abuse, & Dependence

Every Tuesday, 3:00 – 4:00PM – beginning May 8, 2012

• Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
• Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
• Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?
• Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

One "yes" answer to the above questions suggests a possible alcohol problem. More than one "yes" answer means it is highly likely that a problem exists.

If you have more than one “yes” answer – have you ever felt a:

• Craving – A strong need, or urge, to drink.
• Loss of Control – Not Being able to stop drinking once drinking has begun,
• Physical dependence – Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety after stopping drinking.
• Tolerance – The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol to get “high.”

If any of this sounds familiar – and if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired – if family members or loved ones are frightened for you, this group may be for you.

Do you have a friend, family member or can you yourself use some assistance in dealing with their return from military service? Suffering from nightmares, anger outbursts, drinking too much, depression, anxious, don’t feel like you fit into civilian life?

Clinical Psychotherapist Thomas A. Cordier of NECBT (a Glastonbury CT based behavioral health institution) has created, researched and implemented a "highly effective" behavioral health program designed for veterans and those that our currently serving as well as their families. Thus far treatment effectiveness is very high and a great number of folks are finally getting the help they deserve!

Interpersonal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) Treatment for Veterans with PTSD.
ICBT is a highly effective and innovative technique utilized to treat veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The most common complaint that veterans have regarding therapy is the notion that he/she does not feel understood and that no one can relate to the plight of the veteran. A lack of military knowledge by a provider can serve as a barrier between therapist and military patient which can also hinder recovery.

ICBT FOR VETRERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES (EFFECTIVE THEAPY THAT WORKS) The core of ICBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; a therapy that has been proven highly effective through thousands of empirical studies. ICBT is a hybrid of CBT and can be considered CBT’s modern counterpart. ICBT focuses on the interpersonal relationship in order to build trust and rapport with the patient as well as challenging the patient’s quick irrational thoughts that are leading to his/her negative feelings and actions (such as the case in PTSD). Once rapport and trust are formed and techniques specific for dealing with veterans are applied the deeper thinking processes (known as core beliefs) are challenged. ICBT is also delivered by therapists with military experience in order to assure a greater deal of therapeutic understanding, optimal results and treatment success.

Stop utilizing valuable time with therapy that has minimal results and lacks validation. ICBT, "genuine care, measurable results, evidence based therapy."
