“Many of us underestimate our capacity for change and growth. Our goal is to provide the tools and support you need to push past self-imposed limitations and realize your full potential.”
Therapy Modalities
Insight-oriented Psychodynamic Therapies: Insight-oriented psychodynamic therapies aim to increase self-awareness by exploring unconscious thoughts, feelings, and past experiences that influence current behavior. These approaches emphasize the therapeutic relationship as a tool for understanding and working through unresolved conflicts. The goal is to help clients gain deeper insight into their patterns, leading to long-lasting emotional and behavioral changes.
AF-EMDR (Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): AF-EMDR is a specialized form of EMDR therapy that focuses on healing attachment wounds and relational trauma. It combines traditional EMDR techniques with attachment theory principles to address deep-rooted emotional issues stemming from early life experiences. This approach aims to help clients process traumatic memories, develop healthier attachment patterns, and improve their ability to form secure relationships.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): TF-CBT is a goal-oriented psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by altering one, we can positively impact the others. TF-CBT is widely used to treat a variety of mental health issues that stem from trauma.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): DBT is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment developed to help people manage intense emotions and reduce self-destructive behaviors. It teaches four key skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is particularly effective for individuals with borderline personality disorder, but it's also used to treat various other mental health conditions.
Gestalt Therapy: Gestalt Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps people understand their present experiences and how they affect them, and how to take responsibility for themselves. It’s a humanistic therapy that focuses on the whole person rather than a single aspect of their personality or past experiences.
Art Therapy: Art Therapy is a mental health profession that uses creative expression to help people explore their emotions, develop self awareness, and cope with stress. It can be used to treat a wide range of mental disorders and psychological distress.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS therapy integrates two key concepts: the idea of a multifaceted personality and systems thinking. It proposes that having multiple "subpersonalities" or "parts" within one's psyche is normal and beneficial, while also recognizing that all elements within a system are interconnected, meaning a change in one area affects the entire system. IFS takes a non-pathologizing approach, believing that individuals possess all the necessary psychological and emotional resources for healing. Rather than focusing on diagnosing problems, IFS aims to empower people and guide them towards overall well-being and wholeness in their lives by working with these internal parts and their interactions.
