Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is designed to help you change thought patterns in order to positively impact your moods, behaviors, and emotional well-being. Together, we examine how your thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, identifying patterns that may be contributing to distress. Therapy sessions may include guided imagery, relaxation exercises, aromatherapy, music, and art therapy. The overall goal is to develop healthier, more positive responses to life's stressors by reducing avoidance and managing symptoms more effectively.

Reality Therapy

Reality Therapy focuses on helping you meet essential needs—such as love, belonging, power, freedom, and fun—in balanced, constructive ways. By exploring patterns that may no longer serve you well, we work on self-evaluation, reframing perspectives, and behavioral rehearsal. This approach empowers you to make choices that align with your well-being and life goals.

Solution Focused Therapy

In Solution-Focused Therapy, we emphasize finding practical solutions rather than focusing on the problem itself. The therapy looks forward, helping you explore new possibilities and pathways you may not have considered. By identifying and amplifying what works, this approach can reduce stress and anxiety while enhancing your interpersonal relationships and confidence in managing challenges.

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt Therapy takes a holistic approach, emphasizing the connection between you and your environment. This therapy supports you in increasing awareness, accepting and trusting your feelings, and taking responsibility for your choices. Through this process, you may uncover suppressed emotions and develop a renewed sense of self, leading to growth and balance in your life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a powerful method for healing from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reprocess painful memories so they no longer trigger emotional distress. While the memory remains, the negative emotional response is neutralized, allowing you to move forward with greater peace and resilience. EMDR is often integrated with other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive healing.

Somatic Psychotherapy

Somatic Psychotherapy integrates body awareness into traditional talk therapy, recognizing the deep connection between mind and body. This approach helps you tune into physical sensations, posture, and breath to uncover and release trauma, stress, and emotional blockages stored in the body. Techniques such as grounding exercises, gentle movement, and mindful breathing support regulation of your nervous system and promote lasting emotional balance.

Walk and Talk Therapy

Walk and Talk Therapy offers an alternative to the traditional office setting by combining physical movement with therapeutic conversation. Conducted outdoors, this approach can help reduce anxiety, enhance mood, and stimulate new perspectives. The natural environment, paired with gentle physical activity, supports relaxation and encourages more open dialogue, making it an effective option for those who feel more comfortable or inspired outside the typical therapy space.
