An Integrative Approach, Drawing on Evidence-based Methods
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
This type of therapy helps focus on acceptance of experiences while balancing the work needed to change negative behaviors. Mindfulness and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) are integrated to assist in building emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
IFS helps you look at your own personality and assist in synthesizing the parts of personality that causes distress.
Art Therapy
Facilitated by a professional art therapist, Art therapy is used to improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress.
Sand Tray Therapy
Sand tray therapy is a combination of play therapy and art therapy. The therapist provides the client with a tray or box filled with sand as well as a variety of miniatures. Clients will create a world that represents their internal struggles or conflicts. After the sand play is complete, the therapist and the client often discuss what was observed—the toys that were chosen, how they were arranged, and any symbolic or metaphorical meanings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR assists the client in transforming disturbing life experiences using an 8-phase protocol that re-frames cognition and memory about traumatic events. The result is elimination of the symptoms and emotional distress.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT teaches you how to evaluate and change the upsetting thoughts you have had since your trauma. By changing your thoughts, you can change how you feel.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness cultivates attention on one's inner processes and experiences, such as the experience of the present moment. Acceptance is the ability to observe and accept—rather than judge or avoid—those streams of thought and behaviors.
Narrative Therapy
A method of therapy that separates a person from their problem. Personal experiences become personal stories. People give these stories meaning, and the stories help shape a person’s identity. Narrative therapy uses the power of these stories to help people discover their life purpose.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
Solution-Focused Therapy is a goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than dwelling on problems. In the most basic sense, SFT is a future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
