EMDR

EMDR (Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a powerful therapy that helps the brain process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences. Instead of staying “stuck” in painful memories, EMDR helps reframe them so they no longer feel as overwhelming.

This approach can be especially helpful for trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and other emotional struggles and can allow you to feel more grounded, safe, and in control of your life. Many clients find that EMDR creates lasting change and opens space for deeper healing and self-compassion.

Play therapy

Play therapy gives children a safe and supportive space to express themselves through play, their natural form of communication. Through games, art, and imaginative activities, children can process difficult emotions, build coping skills, and work through challenges that may be hard to express in words.

This approach helps children gain confidence, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen their relationships with others.

gottman couples therapy

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a research-based approach to strengthening relationships. In therapy, couples learn practical tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and build a deeper emotional connection. The focus is not only on resolving problems but also on fostering friendship, intimacy, and trust.

​

Couples practice skills that can be used both inside and outside of therapy, such as listening with empathy, expressing needs clearly, and creating shared meaning in their relationship.

pcit

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to improve the relationship between parents and young children while reducing behavioral challenges.  In PCIT, parents are coached in real time as they interact with their child, learning skills to increase positive behaviors, set consistent boundaries, and strengthen emotional connection.

​

This approach helps parents feel more confident and children feel more secure. PCIT has been shown to reduce tantrums, defiance, and aggression while promoting cooperation, emotional regulation, and healthy attachment. ​​​​

brainspotting

Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that helps people process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. The approach is based on the idea that where you look with your eyes can influence how you feel, and that eye positions can help access unprocessed memories and emotions stored in the brain and body.

​

In sessions, a client is guided to identify “brainspots” connected to difficult experiences while staying present and grounded. This allows the brain and body to process unresolved emotions at a deep level, often leading to relief . Brainspotting can be especially effective for trauma, anxiety, performance blocks, and physical symptoms connected to stress.​

iFs

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that helps people understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves that carry emotions, beliefs, or protective roles. Many clients find that inner conflicts, anxiety, or shame come from parts of them that are trying to help but sometimes in unhelpful ways. IFS creates space for identifying and listening to these parts, while also strengthening access to the “core self,” which is calm, compassionate, and capable of leading with clarity.

​

In sessions, clients may learn to recognize protective parts, wounded parts, and their core self, developing new ways of relating to each of them. This work often reduces inner conflict, increases self-compassion, and fosters emotional healing. Parts work can also be integrated into other modalities, such as EMDR or CBT, to support trauma processing, emotional regulation, and personal growth.​

match-ADTC

MATCH-ADTC is a flexible, evidence-based treatment protocol designed specifically for children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or behavior problems. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, MATCH uses research-supported modules that can be combined and tailored to a child’s unique needs. This allows the therapist to adjust the sequence and focus of treatment based on what the child is struggling with most in the moment.

​

In sessions, children and families are guided through practical strategies—such as coping skills, problem-solving, and tools for processing difficult experiences, while parents are supported in reinforcing progress at home.

dbt

​Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and reduce harmful behaviors. Originally developed for people who experience intense emotions or self-destructive patterns, DBT combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness to build balance and stability.

​

In sessions, clients learn practical skills across four core areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills support healthier coping, greater self-awareness, and improved communication. DBT can be especially helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relational conflict, and its tools can be integrated into other therapeutic approaches as needed.
