In individual therapy sessions, we will draw on a variety of evidence-based counseling approaches tailored to best meet your unique needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - CBT is most commonly used in the treatment of anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on overcoming symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders by looking at negative thoughts and feelings that may have you trapped in a cycle of negativity and pain. By systematically changing these thoughts and feelings, your state of mind can improve daily.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - DBT is used most often in the treatment of personality disorders, suicidal and self-injurious behaviors, and interpersonal conflicts. DBT starts with identifying triggers that lead to unhealthy or maladaptive behaviors. Then we assess which coping skills you need to develop to best respond to those triggers in a healthy way. This process leads to healthy emotional and cognitive regulation in the face of stressors.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - ACT therapy was created for the treatment of panic attacks but has since grown into an effective treatment for many mental health issues. ACT therapy encourages understanding and accepting painful emotions while making decisions based on our values. Mindfulness also plays an important part in ACT therapy.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) - IFS is effective in the treatment of most mood disorders and trauma responses. IFS accepts that each of us has wounded parts and that painful emotions, like anger and shame, can stem from these wounds. Each of us develop different parts (IFS names them “exiles,” “managers,” and “firefighters”) to protect us from our pain. Over time however, these parts can be in conflict and increase our pain rather than protect use from it. IFS focuses on identifying each part, the function it serves, and then the way to reintegrate of each part into a healthy, thriving self.
