Our Therapy

ACT focuses on helping clients to behave more consistently with their own values and apply mindfulness and acceptance skills to their responses to uncontrollable experiences. Clients are encouraged to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.

Client-centered therapy is talk therapy in which the client does most of the talking. The therapist will not actively direct conversation in sessions, or judge or interpret what you say, but they may restate your words in an effort to fully understand your thoughts and feelings (and to help you do the same).

CBT is a problem-oriented strategy. It focuses on current problems and finding solutions for them. It encompasses a range of techniques and approaches that address our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, which can help us manage our problems by changing the way we think and behave.

The aim of DBT is to help clients understand, accept, and manage their difficult feelings through skills training. Mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance are the four skills training areas. Successful implementation of these skills in one's day to day life leads to greater life satisfaction.

Family systems therapy is a form of psychotherapy in the family therapy field that approaches problem-solving through the lens of relationships, dynamics, and patterns that exist within family units. Goals of family therapy are improving the communication, solving family problems, understanding and handling special family situations, and creating a better functioning home environment.

 MBCT works to help clients better control their thoughts, emotions, and responses to these factors while incorporating elements of mindfulness to additionally control the body's automatic responses to the stresses associated with many negative thoughts or feelings.

Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that helps clients resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration how difficult it is to make life changes. 

Trauma-focused therapy sessions aim to help clients discover skills and improve coping strategies to better respond to reminders and emotions associated with traumatic events. The goal of this therapy is to help the client heal and create a life worth living.
