Our Approaches
Whether your goals are to gain clarity, deepen connection, or find relief from emotional distress, individual therapy offers a path toward self-awareness, emotional resilience, and renewed confidence. We use the following modalities in our sessions:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, enabling clients to make meaningful changes in how they feel and respond to challenging situations. Many individuals appreciate the structured nature of CBT, which provides both short-term relief and long-term strategies for managing distress. As a research-backed, evidence-based method, cognitive behavioral therapy is proven to help with the following:
Anxiety
Stress
Depression
Panic attacks
Phobias
PTSD
OCD symptoms
Chronic pain
Anger management
This therapeutic modality focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns that drive certain emotions and behaviors. By exploring these patterns and equipping you with effective tools and strategies, CBT helps you develop healthy coping mechanisms, empowering you to navigate life with confidence.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive processing therapy is a powerful approach for stress-related conditions and trauma. CPT encourages you to explore how trauma and stress have shaped your perspective and emotional reactions to situations. This method also helps you reframe unhelpful thought patterns and perceptions, reducing the emotional impact of traumatic memories. CPT can be especially helpful if you’re experiencing:
Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks
Feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame
Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe
Emotional numbness or disconnection from yourself and others
A sense of being unable to move forward
This structured, time-limited therapy provides a clear path to healing by helping you process your experiences and reconnect with yourself. Our therapists will guide you with compassion as you examine beliefs that no longer serve you, allowing space for reconnection and clarity.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
With mindfulness practices, acceptance strategies, and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, DBT enhances emotional resilience and helps individuals improve their relationships. This approach emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. DBT is particularly beneficial for individuals who:
Experience intense emotions that feel hard to manage
Have chronic relationship conflicts or emotional reactivity
Engage in impulsive or high-risk behaviors
Have trouble coping with distress without feeling overwhelmed
Want to achieve emotional balance
By blending acceptance and change strategies, DBT teaches you how to stay present, tolerate discomfort, and communicate more effectively, laying the foundation for lasting emotional growth.
