Therapeutic Modalities

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps your brain process and heal from traumatic memories. It uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to safely reduce the emotional intensity of painful experiences. EMDR can help reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and stuck patterns by promoting natural healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps you understand and connect with the different “parts” of yourself that hold feelings, beliefs, and memories. It encourages a compassionate relationship with these parts, allowing your core Self to lead with calmness and clarity. IFS supports healing by helping these parts relax and work together toward inner harmony.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help people with anxiety and OCD. It involves gradually and safely exposing you to feared situations or thoughts while preventing the usual compulsive responses. Over time, this process reduces anxiety and breaks the cycle of avoidance and compulsions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It focuses on practical skills to challenge negative beliefs and develop healthier ways of thinking and coping. CBT is effective for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based therapy that helps you manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques. DBT is especially effective for people struggling with self-harm, borderline personality disorder, and emotional dysregulation.

Pastoral counseling integrates psychological principles with spiritual guidance to support emotional and spiritual well-being. It helps individuals navigate life’s challenges while honoring their faith and values. This approach is often sought by those looking for therapy that respects both their mental health and spiritual journey.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to help people heal from trauma. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions to reduce distress and improve coping. TF-CBT helps clients process traumatic memories while developing skills to manage emotions and build resilience.

Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented approach that focuses on your strengths and resources rather than problems. It helps you identify what’s working and build practical steps toward your desired future. This therapy is ideal for those seeking quick, positive change and empowerment.

Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT) is a trauma-informed approach that helps families heal by addressing individual, family, and community influences on well-being. It focuses on strengthening relationships, improving communication, and building supportive environments. ESFT is especially effective for families facing complex trauma, behavioral challenges, and intergenerational stress.

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) focuses on repairing and strengthening the parent-child relationship to promote healing and emotional connection. It helps families address communication breakdowns and rebuild trust after conflict or trauma. ABFT is especially effective for teens struggling with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

Person-Centered Therapy is a warm, non-judgmental approach that helps you explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace. It emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine connection between therapist and client. This supportive environment encourages personal growth, self-acceptance, and greater self-understanding.
