Change your life by overcoming negative behavioral patterns with Plexus

As human beings, we learn and adopt behaviors and patterns from the environment around us. While some can be positive and constructive, others can be negative and potentially self-destructive. At Plexus, we follow the school of thought that behaviors can be instilled and reinforced through repetition and exposure – be it positive or negative.

That’s why we leverage Behavior Therapy as a tool to identify and correct maladaptive behaviors through consistent and repeated action-based practice.

Behavior Therapy is beneficial to children and adults dealing with a variety of disorders such as Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Somatoform Disorders, as well as eating disorders, anger issues, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, phobias, and substance abuse.

To treat these conditions, our behavior therapists leverage different forms of therapy for preschoolers, children, adolescents, and adults:

Aversion Therapy

Flooding

Extinction

Token Economies

Contingency Management

Behavior Modeling Therapy

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Systematic Desensitization

Play Therapy

Under the guidance of Dr Na’eem Sadiq, our team uses techniques that involve reinforcement, shaping, modeling, chaining, and other related processes that course-correct undesirable behavioral traits and produce quick results. There are many other benefits to Behavior Therapy, including:

Faster recovery from mental disorders
Higher self-esteem due to solution-focused therapies
Better communication and interpersonal skills
Better control over anger and other emotions
Improved coping skills in stressful situations
Prevention of relapse with the aid of tools and techniques
Shifting from a negative thought process to realistic or positive thinking

What our patients say

Reema Venugopal (Name changed)

“My son was unable to attend school due to his behavioral issues. He was not willing to share his things with others. Added to that, he was not attending to his teacher's commands. I brought him to Plexus for Behavioral Therapy. This helped him to recover sooner, and now I'm glad I found this center.”

"I was facing great difficulty in dealing with my 9 year old due to major behavioural issues. Frequent anger outbursts, sudden mood changes and poor academic performance were some of the main concerns. The Behaviour Therapy program at Plexus and Dr. Na'eem's advise helped me understand my child's concerns and manage them as well. I would suggest parents to seek help if they are facing similar issues."

Hi! I am Kritika Premnath Amin, an occupational therapist with over a decade of experience in facilitating children and adolescents towards appropriate social interactions and emotion regulation through behaviour therapy. I have completed my Bachelors and Masters of Occupational therapy (specialized in mental health and psychosocial rehabilitation) from Manipal University. I have a certification in ‘psychological first aid’ from John Hopkins University and research papers on child and adolescent psychiatry. As an Occupational therapist working with children, I believe in building a therapeutic rapport and creating a safe environment for them in therapy. The philosophy of using play as the major pillar in intervention is one of my strongholds in getting across to these kids.
