Our Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT therapy helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that affect your emotions and behaviors. This practical, goal-oriented approach is especially effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
IFS therapy recognizes that our minds contain different "parts" that interact internally. This approach helps identify and understand these parts, fostering greater self-awareness and healing trauma.
Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP) Therapy
E/RP therapy is specially designed for OCD and anxiety disorders. Through gradual exposure to sources of fear while preventing compulsive responses, clients learn to reduce anxiety and gain control over symptoms.
Group Therapy
Experience the power of community in our small, focused therapy groups. Share experiences, gain insights, and practice new skills in a safe, supportive environment guided by an experienced therapist.
Mindfulness Therapy
Develop present-moment awareness without judgment to enhance emotional regulation and respond thoughtfully to life's challenges. Mindfulness techniques help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
Parent Counseling
Receive guidance, support, and practical strategies to navigate the challenges of raising children. Our approach strengthens the parent-child relationship while developing effective parenting skills.
