ARCoBeM is a consulting firm that provides practical applications of cognitive neuroscience in health, psychoeducation, self-help therapy, business and personal development. We are the team of psychiatrists and psychologists specializing in helping not only persons experiencing serious psychological problems, also so called "normal people in abnormal life situations" as well persons who want to further expand their personal growth.

Currently, we are in the process of implementation of the systemic approach to mental health in New Mexico. We provide training program in cognitive-behavior self-help therapy (based on Rational Behavior Therapy of internationally known psychiatrist Maxie C. Maultsby, Jr., MD and psychooncologic program of Dr. Carl O. Simonton, MD). We implement the most recent advances in Chaos Theory in our latest, advanced workshop: From Chaos to Self-Organization and present practical, comprehensive and unified interventions in most common psychiatric disorders. The training is further expanded by elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - cognitive-behavioral approach to persons with Borderline Personality Disorder and other difficult to treat problems. DBT was developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD - psychologist who revolutionized treatment for persons with Borderline Personality Disorder, and provided evidence for its high eficacy.
