Methodology
Our Approach:
In our sessions, we (14 clinicians) practice standard psychotherapy with a focus on psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. These approaches are collaborative and dialogue-based — meaning that we’ll work together throughout the therapy process to help you develop healthier, effective habits and coping mechanisms.
We encourage a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment — one that lets you feel free to talk honestly about thought and behavior patterns that are currently preventing you from living life to its fullest.
Treatment Orientation:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
- Dialectical (DBT)
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Integrative Health and Holistic Therapy
- Loss and Grief Therapy
- Mindfulness Based Therapy
- Supportive Group Work
- Trauma Focused Therapy
Modality:
- Individuals
- Couples
- Family
