Psychodynamic Psychotherapy:

This approach focuses on our internal life- How we relate to ourselves and how we relate to the world. Gaining insight into our inner worlds and our experiences frees us to choose a new, more flexible way of approaching the world. This approach celebrates spontaneity and creativity. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on emotions, interpersonal relationships, recurring patterns, and an exploration of both the past and present moment. This approach helps connect you with your fantasy life and what motivates you the most, leading to a more authentic self.

Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy:

DBT is a skills-based modality used to improve our relationships with others and tolerating intense and difficult emotions. Life is filled with opposites and impossible decisions.  Feeling and Thinking.  Accepting yourself for who you are while wanting to to be better. Being part of a group and being an individual. Therapy involves making room for all of our values, and using them to make wise choices. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy:

As the name suggests, ACT is about learning to take life accept all experiences just as they are- for both things that happen to us and to thoughts and feelings that are happening inside us. This approach emphasizes living true to your values, what matters most to you. ACT skills us to be open to all emotions and learning to be able to let in all thoughts and feelings without judgement.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy:

As a species, we've evolved to have thoughts and behaviors that will protect us and keep us alive. While certain self-critical thoughts may have protected us by keeping us safe, these "cognitive distortions" can result in us feeling scared, anxious, angry, or down on ourselves. CBT Helps to identify these thoughts and behaviors that get in your way and help you live with more compassion for yourself and others, as well as a more grounded approach to life.

Humanistic and Positive Psychology

These approach focuses on individual strengths, preferences, motivations, and what gives you the most meaning. Humanistic and Positive Psychology are non-pathologizing approaches that focus on becoming the best version of yourself while living a meaningful life filled with positive emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy: 

We humans are social creatures. We are built for connection. The quality of our relationships can change the quality of our lives. When we learn to fully show up in our relationships and learn to communicate our emotional needs, we can develop deeper connections with the ones we love and feel more secure in our relationships.

Emotion-Focused Therapy:

Every emotion has a purpose. When we learn to speak the language of our emotions, we can take better care of ourselves. When we deepen our connection to our emotional worlds, we are able to treat ourselves with more kindness and compassion, leading to better relationships with others.
