Types of therapy offered
-
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy):
ACT is a mindfulness-based approach that helps individuals accept their thoughts and feelings instead of trying to eliminate them. The goal is to commit to actions that align with one's values while being present with difficult emotions. ACT encourages clients to live more fully by accepting discomfort as part of the human experience rather than avoiding or fighting it.
-
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps clients identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns that lead to negative emotions and behaviors. By reshaping these thought patterns, individuals can learn healthier coping mechanisms and improve their emotional well-being.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing):
EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that uses guided eye movements to help individuals process traumatic memories. The technique helps reprocess distressing memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity. EMDR is particularly effective for PTSD, but it can also be used for other trauma-related and anxiety disorders.
-
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
IFS views the mind as made up of different "parts" that can sometimes be in conflict. These parts, whether protective, wounded, or critical, often influence how we respond to life’s challenges. IFS helps clients identify and understand these inner parts, healing the wounded ones and creating more harmony within. It encourages clients to access their core "Self," which is calm, confident, and compassionate.
-
Relational Therapy
Relational therapy emphasizes the importance of relationships in shaping our sense of self and emotional health.
