Therapeutic Modalities

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A powerful method for processing traumatic memories through guided eye movements, which helps reduce the emotional charge tied to those memories.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This helps individuals identify and reframe negative thought patterns that may have developed in response to their traumatic experiences.

Somatic Experiencing: This technique focuses on the body’s role in trauma recovery, helping individuals release trauma stored in the body through mindful awareness and body-based techniques.

Psychodynamic Therapy: This explores how unconscious patterns from past experiences may be influencing your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Solution-Focused Therapy: This is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on building on strengths and finding practical solutions to current challenges.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: This focuses on increasing self-awareness and living more fully in the present moment, helping to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.

Integrative Therapy: Combines techniques from various therapeutic approaches, allowing the therapist to tailor the intervention to specific needs.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Helps with managing emotions and behaviors.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Blends mindfulness with behavioral therapy and encourages an acceptance of thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them.

Play Therapy: Helps children express their feelings, process experiences, and develop coping skills.
