OUR THERAPY APPROACH
When you work with us, therapy is all about you.
We mix and match evidence-based methods to fit your unique needs and goals, always staying flexible and intentional in our approach.
But here’s the thing: no matter the technique, the connection you have with your therapist matters most. That’s why we offer complimentary connection calls—so you can meet your potential therapist, feel the vibe, and make sure it’s the right fit before you start.
-
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is all about helping you live a life that really matters to you. We’ll work together to face tough emotions instead of avoiding them, notice unhelpful thought patterns without getting stuck, and take steps that align with your values—so you can move forward with more clarity and purpose.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is all about helping you handle intense emotions and tricky situations more effectively. You’ll learn skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, staying mindful in the moment, and communicating in ways that strengthen your relationships with yourself and others.
-
Cognitive Behavior Therapy CBT)
CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You’ll learn how to spot unhelpful thought patterns and make changes that lead to healthier behaviors and a more balanced way of responding to life’s challenges.
-
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps you explore and understand your emotions, seeing them as a central part of your experience. By addressing and processing emotions in a safe, supportive space, you can gain insight, release what’s holding you back, and create positive change in your life.
-
Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners strengthen their connection and build a more meaningful, resilient relationship. Through practical tools and guided exercises, couples learn to communicate better, resolve conflict, and deepen their bond.
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART helps you transform unhelpful patterns into healthier ways of responding and eases your reactions to certain triggers or memories. Often used for stressful or traumatic experiences, this approach uses guided eye movements to support processing and healing in a safe, supportive environment.
-
EMDR
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps you process trauma and distressing life experiences. Using gentle bilateral stimulation, like guided eye movements, EMDR can reduce the emotional impact of difficult memories while helping your brain develop healthier, more adaptive perspectives. While it’s often used for PTSD, EMDR is also effective for anxiety, depression, phobias, and grief.
-
IFS
IFS helps you understand and connect with the different “parts” of yourself, fostering self-awareness, healing, and balance. We all have parts shaped by life experiences—some protect us, while others carry past wounds. Through IFS, we strengthen your core Self—the calm, confident, and compassionate center within you—so you can heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and break unhelpful patterns. This approach provides a safe, supportive space to explore and integrate all aspects of yourself for lasting emotional well-being.
