Psychotherapy

Therapy can be a uniquely rewarding experience. We help clients to adopt a curious and non-judgmental attitude towards themselves as we take them on a journey inward. We create a compassionate space for clients to explore honestly who they are, their current and past experiences, and their relationships with others. As clients gain insight about themselves, we enable them to make appropriate changes to reach their goals, find inner peace and lead fuller, more enriched lives.

Specific Treatment Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that focuses on helping the client to identify thoughts, feelings, and emotions that drive certain behaviors. Through this we help clients understand how and why they are responding to situations in the way that they do and help them to restructure these cognitive processes so that they can engage with the world and themselves in more productive and helpful ways. We often infuse principles of mindfulness and acceptance into our CBT approach. 

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented therapy that evolved from cognitive behavioral therapy. Rather than avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions, clients learn to accept these deeper feelings as appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives and how they feel about it.

Cognitive Processing Therapy

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) CPT is a Cognitive Behavioral treatment for trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which helps clients to evaluate and change the upsetting thoughts and emotions experienced following trauma. CPT has been shown to be effective in reducing PTSD symptoms related to a variety of traumatic events including child abuse, combat, rape and natural disasters.
