Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy is based on the understanding that our early relationships with caregivers form the foundation for how we connect with others later in life. By exploring attachment styles—such as secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—clients gain insight into how early experiences influence their emotional responses and relationship patterns today. This therapy supports healing from attachment wounds, promotes deeper connections with others, and helps build emotional resilience for healthier, more secure relationships.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and body to heal trauma. It works by helping clients tune into physical sensations and bodily responses, allowing for the release of stored tension and trauma. This process helps to restore balance, reduce emotional distress, and promote a sense of safety and regulation. SE is particularly effective for those dealing with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders supporting the body’s natural capacity for healing and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. Using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR assists clients in reprocessing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge. This therapy is effective for those dealing with trauma, PTSD, and overwhelming experiences, helping clients move from distress to healing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps individuals recognize and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT empowers clients to develop healthier thinking patterns and coping strategies. This approach is particularly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered, collaborative approach that helps individuals explore and strengthen their own motivation for change. This technique is especially effective for those who may feel uncertain or ambivalent about making changes, providing support in clarifying goals and increasing commitment to the change process.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma. It focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs related to traumatic events. By understanding how these thoughts affect emotions and behaviors, clients can reframe their perspective, reduce distress, and regain control over their lives. CPT is particularly effective for those dealing with PTSD and trauma-related issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-focused approach that helps individuals manage intense emotions, enhance mindfulness, and develop healthier ways of coping with stress. It emphasizes building resilience through emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is especially beneficial for those facing challenges with emotional intensity, self-harm, or difficulties in relationships.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic model that views the mind as consisting of different "parts," or sub-personalities, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By exploring and understanding these parts, clients can gain insight into their internal experiences, promote healing, and integrate fragmented aspects of themselves. IFS fosters greater self-compassion and emotional balance, helping individuals achieve inner harmony and wholeness.
