Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is utilized to assist clients in understanding the connection between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Clients utilize interventions and tools to cope with everyday stressors that interfere with their overall well-being such as cognitive restructuring, thought defusion and exposure & response prevention.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, research-supported therapy that helps the brain heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. Sometimes overwhelming events get “stuck” in the nervous system, leading to anxiety, triggers, or negative beliefs about yourself. EMDR uses gentle, guided bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess these memories so they feel less intense and no longer interfere with your present life. This approach can be especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, and long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift through talk therapy alone.

Strength-Based

Strengths-Based Therapy is an empowering approach that focuses on your existing abilities, resilience, and internal resources rather than only on problems or symptoms. Together, we identify your skills, values, past successes, and support systems to help you navigate challenges with greater confidence. This approach fosters hope, self-efficacy, and sustainable growth by building on what is already working in your life.

Interpersonal

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapy that focuses on how your relationships and life transitions impact your mood. It is based on the idea that depression, anxiety, and emotional distress are often connected to difficulties in communication, conflict, grief, or changes in roles (such as becoming a parent, ending a relationship, or career shifts). In IPT, we work to improve communication skills, resolve interpersonal conflict, process losses, and strengthen social support so you can feel more connected and emotionally balanced.
