My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a widely recognized and effective form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is goal-oriented and aims to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, ultimately promoting positive change. In our sessions, we may work together to explore and modify maladaptive thought processes that contribute to emotional distress.

EMDR

EMDR is a specialized therapeutic approach primarily used to treat trauma and distressing memories. It involves guided lateral eye movements while recalling traumatic experiences, facilitating the brain's natural processing of distressing memories. EMDR has been shown to be effective in reducing the emotional impact of traumatic events, allowing individuals to integrate these experiences into their overall life narrative.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Person-Centered Therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, is characterized by a non-directive and empathetic approach. This modality emphasizes the therapist's unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness, creating a supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth. In our sessions, I will actively listen, provide empathy, and foster a non-judgmental space for you to express your thoughts and feelings.

Integrative

The integrative nature of our therapy allows for flexibility and responsiveness to your evolving needs. Instead of adhering rigidly to one therapeutic model, I will draw on elements from different approaches to create a customized and comprehensive treatment plan. This may involve combining the cognitive restructuring techniques of CBT with the trauma processing capabilities of EMDR, complemented by the person-centered and empathetic foundation of Person-Centered Therapy.
