Huddle.care Brain Health Treatment Program is an online treatment program for emotional disorders inspired by Acceptance-based Cognitive Behavioral theory and The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders. The program includes classes that focus on education and groups that focus on applying the concepts. Classes and groups are scheduled flexibly and members can attend as many as they’d like. Each member is also encouraged to commit to daily homework and to report their progress. Individual psychotherapy sessions are also available based on provider referral and diagnostic severity.

Patients with emotional disorders including depression and anxiety and related disorders benefit most from this program. We currently offer the program to adults over 21 without suicidality, homicidality, an active substance abuse disorder, or active psychosis.

At Huddle.care, we’re enthused about leveraging technology to increase connection. We are traditionally trained and licensed psychotherapists who believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and recognize the benefits of social support. We seek to use technology to increase the opportunity for human connection, rather than attempting to replace relationships with technology.

Improved accessibility

Anxiety and depression are common and treatable. Americans don’t have access to a trained behavioral health provider in more than half of the United States. Even in locations with many behavioral health options, providers vary in their skill and effectiveness; choosing a provider can be an expensive leap of faith. At Huddle.care, we’ve pivoted to video-based services to offer equal opportunity to care, regardless of location. We’ve also chosen to hire only trained and licensed psychotherapists in order to take the guesswork out of choosing a good strategy for overcoming your emotional disorder.

Increased affordability

Emotional disorders are chronic, episodic disorders. Sufferers will likely need support at more than one time in their lifetime. It can be time-consuming and expensive to seek individual psychotherapy for every anxious episode or on an ongoing basis. Research indicates that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy for anxiety disorders. However, groups are often not the treatment of choice for psychotherapists due to the logistical burden of getting and keeping groups going. Huddle.care leverages technology to streamline group therapy so that highly skilled psychotherapists have the chance to help more people more effectively.

Emotional disorders are chronic and episodic. Those with the biological sensitivity to developing an emotional disorder have that sensitivity throughout their lifespans. Other factors such as life circumstance and coping style contribute to the occurrence or lack of an episode. With that in mind, some individuals quickly understand what’s happening, relate to it effectively, and are able to manage symptoms after only a few weeks of working on it. Others benefit from ongoing guidance, support, and accountability. Huddle.care’s program is flexibly designed to meet the needs of both types of individuals and everyone in between.

Our clinicians are licensed psychotherapists. They have masters degrees and doctorate degrees in clinical or counseling psychology or social work. Training to become a licensed psychotherapist varies slightly by degree. All degrees require two to six years of graduate coursework; over 4,000 hours of supervised clinical work; passing national and state-based exams; and ongoing continuing education to maintain licensure./span>
