Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Explores the different “parts” of yourself with compassion and curiosity.
Mindfulness: Focus on paying attention to the present moment and creating safety in the here-and-now
Person-Centered Therapy: You lead the way—our role is to listen, support, and guide without judgment.
Play Therapy: Especially helpful for children and teens to express emotions through play and art.
Positive Psychology: Focuses on strengths, resilience, and what’s working—rather than just what’s wrong.
Reality Therapy: Encourages responsibility, clarity, and practical steps to create meaningful change.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Goal-oriented and future-focused, helping you move forward with clarity.
Somatic Therapy: Incorporates body awareness into healing, especially helpful for trauma.
Strengths-Based Therapy: Builds on your existing strengths to promote confidence and growth.
