Clinical Approach
EMDR
(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages clients to briefly focus on a traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.
CBT
(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT teaches clients how to identify distressing or negative thoughts and evaluate how realistic the thoughts are. Clients then learn how to reframe and challenge these in order to change their unhelpful thinking. CBT also works to solve problems and initiate behavioral changes to help manage and reduce symptoms.
ACT
(Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
ACT works to help clients stay focused on the present moment and accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives and how they feel about it.
DBT
(Dialectical Behavioral Therapy)
DBT teaches clients how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve relationships with others. DBT acknowledges the need for acceptance of change and recognizes the constant flux of feelings—many of them contradictory—without having to get caught up in them.
Feminist Therapy
Feminist therapy frames that wellness relates to a client’s social and cultural identities as well as the political environment. It acknowledges symptoms and trauma as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression, discrimination, and other factors, with goals of exploring and building identity, self-esteem, strengths, and values in an authentic, non-conforming way.
Adlerian Therapy
Adlerian therapy emphasizes the importance of identifying and overcoming feelings of inferiority while also working on gaining a sense of belonging or social interest. Clients learn how all behavior is purposeful - even unhelpful or maladaptive ones - and work to see the deeper meaning and root of issues in order to create lasting change in their lives.
