Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT)

CBT is an active approach to therapy, often involving tailored exercises outside of sessions, and is aimed at helping individuals understand and change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through structured sessions, practical techniques, and its collaborative approach.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT combines elements of cognitive-behavioral techniques with an emphasis on finding a balance between acceptance and change. It focuses on teaching individuals skills to regulate and manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, develop distress tolerance, and cultivate mindfulness.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is a cognitive-behavioral therapy technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It involves gradually exposing individuals to their feared stimuli while preventing the usual compulsive response, allowing healthier ways of coping and reducing anxiety over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that helps clients build psychological flexibility by emphasizing acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change or control them. Clients are also taught mindfulness techniques to help them observe their thoughts and feeling without judgment or reaction.

Solution-Focused
Therapy (SFT)

SFT is a goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on gaining the necessary tools and skills to find and implement solutions to current problems. The therapist and client work collaboratively to identify specific goals and develop a clear vision of what the client wants to achieve.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT is an approach to couples therapy that focuses on deepening emotional connections and restoring intimacy in relationships. Through compassionate exploration of underlying emotions and relational patterns, we guide couples and individuals towards greater understanding, healing, and fulfillment in their relationships.

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on improving communication, enhancing conflict resolution skills, and strengthening emotional connections between partners. Grounded in decades of scientific research, this method helps couples build healthier, more fulfilling relationships by fostering understanding, empathy, and trust.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic emphasizes the influence of unconscious processes and early life experiences on current behavior and emotions. Through exploring these hidden aspects of the psyche, psychodynamic therapy aims to uncover deep-seated conflicts and patterns. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, clients can gain insight, resolve inner conflicts, and achieve a greater sense of self-awareness.

Person-Centered Therapy

The person-centered approach is a collaborative and client-driven approach to therapy that emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. The therapist, transparent and genuine in their interactions, creates a supportive and empathetic environment where clients feel accepted, understood, and valued without judgment.

Positive Psychology

The positive psychology approach focuses largely on identifying and building upon each client's innate strengths. This approach helps clients to enhance their resilience and to foster a greater sense of fulfillment and meaning in life.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative and person-centered approach aimed at exploring and resolving ambivalence. This technique helps people clarify their values and goals and foster intrinsic motivation. Through empathetic listening and open-ended questions, motivational interviewing creates a supportive environment where individuals feel understood and encouraged to take action.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

SE is a trauma therapy that focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. SE helps individuals process and release trauma-related energy stored in the body. Through techniques like body awareness, grounding, and gradual exposure to traumatic memories, SE aims to restore the nervous system's balance and reduce physical and emotional symptoms.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a mental state characterized by focused awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, bodily sensations, and surroundings without judgment. Mindfulness is a powerful practice that offers a pathway to greater self-awareness, inner peace, and overall wellbeing.

Meditation

Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to quiet itself and achieve a state of relaxation and heightened awareness. It is associated with numerous physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Research has shown that regular meditation practice can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, improve focus, concentration, and cognitive function, enhance emotional regulation, and promote overall well-being.

Buddhist Psychology

Buddhist psychology refers to the psychological principles, theories, and practices derived from Buddhist teachings and philosophies. Encompassing a rich understanding of the mind, emotions, and human nature, it offers a holistic framework for understanding the mind and navigating the complexities of human existence with wisdom, compassion, flexibility, and adaptability.

Somatic Therapies

Somatic therapies are therapeutic approaches that focus on the body and bodily sensations as a means of addressing psychological issues, emotional distress, and trauma. These therapies recognize the interconnectedness of the mind and body and aim to facilitate healing by working with the body's innate wisdom and capacity for self-regulation.

Ego Work

Ego work involves examining how the ego functions, how it manages conflicts and tensions within the psyche, and how it influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The goal of ego work is to promote self-awareness and insight to empower clients to make healthier choices, develop more adaptive coping strategies, and foster personal growth and development.
