-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) guides you to accept your thoughts and emotions while committing to values-aligned actions. Through mindfulness exercises, you'll build skills to overcome difficulties and live a more psychologically fulfilling life.
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps you process and make sense of traumatic experiences that may be causing intrusive thoughts, avoidance, and post-traumatic stress. In this approach, we'll gradually unpack the trauma in a safe environment, modifying unhelpful beliefs to develop a more empowered, positive narrative around the experience.
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness skills. You'll learn mindfulness practices to become more aware of yourself and your intense emotions. We'll also work on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and effective communication skills to improve your overall well-being.
-
Mindfulness-Based Therapy uses mindfulness practices to help you become more present and aware in the current moment. We'll cultivate techniques like breath awareness and grounding to reduce stress. The goal is to approach your experiences with more self-compassion and acceptance.
-
With Motivational Enhancement Therapy, we'll explore your core values and what's most important to help increase your motivation for positive change. You'll develop self-motivating strategies and coping skills to overcome barriers to achieving your goals.
-
Neuropsychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that integrates principles from both psychotherapy and neurobiology. This method addresses issues by examining the interconnections between the brain, the body, personal experiences, and the environment. It takes into account the neural processes at play and their influence on thoughts, emotions, information processing, social interactions, and behavior.
-
Instead of re-living problems, solution-focused therapy helps identify your strengths to improve your current life situation. We'll explore practical, effective solutions to concerns while developing proactive coping skills.
