Modalities

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns that contribute to negative emotions and behaviors. By recognizing and reframing harmful thoughts, clients can break the cycle of self-defeating beliefs and adopt healthier ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges. CBT is especially effective in treating anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. 

We support clients by working collaboratively to identify thought patterns that negatively impact their lives. Through structured exercises and practical techniques, we guide individuals in developing healthier, more positive thoughts and behaviors. This approach empowers clients to take control of their mental health and make meaningful changes in their daily lives. 

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and processing emotions as key drivers of behavior and relationships. Clients learn to identify and express their emotions in a healthy way, leading to improved self-awareness and emotional regulation. This modality is particularly effective for couples and individuals dealing with emotional disconnection, conflict, or past trauma. 

In therapy, we create a safe space for clients to explore their emotions, facilitating deeper understanding and connection within themselves and their relationships. By working through emotional pain and barriers, clients can experience healing, develop stronger emotional bonds, and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships. 

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early attachment experiences with caregivers shape current relationship patterns and emotional functioning. Individuals who experienced insecure attachments in childhood may struggle with trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation in their adult relationships. This therapy helps clients understand and heal from these past attachment wounds. 

We work with clients to recognize how their attachment styles impact their current relationships and guide them in building healthier, more secure connections. Through this process, clients can repair old wounds, develop more stable and fulfilling relationships, and strengthen emotional resilience. 

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on enhancing relationship dynamics through improving communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection. It helps couples identify negative patterns like criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling, which erode relationship satisfaction over time. 

In therapy, we help couples learn tools to strengthen their friendship, manage conflict, and build shared meaning in their relationship. This approach fosters trust, emotional closeness, and lasting relationship satisfaction by addressing the specific needs of both partners. 

Exposure therapy is a behavioral treatment used to help individuals confront fears, phobias, or traumatic memories in a controlled and supportive environment. By gradually facing feared situations or thoughts, clients can reduce their anxiety and emotional distress over time, ultimately desensitizing themselves to triggers. 

We work closely with clients to design a structured plan for gradually facing their fears while providing coping strategies to manage anxiety. Over time, this approach helps individuals regain control over their lives, overcome avoidance behaviors, and reduce the impact of their fears. 

Narrative therapy helps individuals reshape the stories they tell about themselves, recognizing that these narratives influence how they see the world and their role in it. Clients learn to separate themselves from their problems and rewrite negative or limiting stories, allowing for new perspectives and personal growth. 

We support clients in examining the stories they’ve internalized and encourage them to reclaim agency in their lives by constructing empowering narratives. This approach fosters self-compassion, resilience, and a sense of identity that is not defined by past struggles. 

Inner child work focuses on addressing unresolved childhood emotions, experiences, and trauma that continue to influence adult behavior and emotional responses. By reconnecting with and healing the inner child, clients can release long-standing patterns of fear, shame, and insecurity. 

We guide clients through the process of acknowledging and nurturing their inner child, helping them heal past wounds and build healthier emotional patterns. This work can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional healing, and the ability to form more authentic relationships. 

Solution-focused therapy centers on finding practical solutions to current problems, focusing on the client’s strengths and resources rather than the causes of their challenges. This goal-oriented approach empowers individuals to envision their desired future and take actionable steps to achieve it. 

We collaborate with clients to identify their goals and create a clear, actionable plan to resolve their issues. By emphasizing solutions rather than problems, clients can experience quick, tangible progress and develop a more positive outlook on their ability to overcome challenges. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as composed of different parts, each with its own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. These parts may conflict, causing internal turmoil. IFS helps clients explore and heal these internal parts, creating greater harmony and self-leadership. 

In therapy, we help clients identify their various inner parts and work toward understanding and healing them. This approach fosters a sense of self-compassion, emotional balance, and inner peace as clients learn to integrate and harmonize their internal system. 

Faith-based therapy integrates spiritual beliefs and practices into the therapeutic process to support emotional and mental well-being. For individuals who see faith as an important aspect of their lives, this approach provides a framework for healing that aligns with their values and beliefs. 

We offer a space where clients can explore their emotional struggles through the lens of their faith, incorporating spiritual resources to foster healing, resilience, and personal growth. This holistic approach strengthens both emotional and spiritual well-being. 

The anti-oppressive approach addresses the impact of systemic inequalities and power imbalances on mental health. It recognizes how factors like race, gender, sexuality, and socioeconomic status intersect to create unique challenges and stresses for individuals. 

We offer therapy that validates and acknowledges the lived experiences of marginalized individuals, working to empower them by addressing both personal and systemic barriers. This approach helps clients build resilience, self-worth, and a sense of agency in the face of oppression.
