Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented therapeutic approach that emphasizes your strengths and resources to find solutions, rather than focusing on problems or past issues. It involves identifying what’s working, envisioning a preferred future, and building small, achievable steps toward that future.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, aiming to develop healthier coping strategies and improve emotional well-being.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. It emphasizes psychological flexibility by encouraging values-based action and commitment to meaningful goals, even in the presence of discomfort.
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, non-pathologizing approach that views people as separate from their problems. It focuses on helping individuals re-author their personal stories by exploring how dominant narratives shape their identity and by highlighting alternative stories that reflect their strengths, values, and preferred ways of being.
Transpersonal Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that integrates spiritual and transcendent aspects of the human experience with modern psychological approaches. It focuses on self-actualization, personal growth, and exploring higher states of consciousness, aiming to help individuals go beyond the ego and connect with a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, or unity.
