Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

A therapeutic approach that focuses on managing intense emotions, accepting the situation around us and identifying ways we can change behaviors.

Solution Focused Therapy

A therapeutic approach that is typically short term due to the nature of focusing on solutions moving forward, rather than problems in the past. We will work together to identify specific struggles/issues/concerns and explore possible solutions. SFF is future and goal oriented, increases motivation for change and helps us sustain positive changes to overcome stressors.

We will explore the mind-body connection and also gain a deeper understanding of the mindfulness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

A therapeutic approach that focuses on radical acceptance of your emotions while learning to navigate the world around you. We often avoid or deny our emotions, especially if they are intense or confusing. ACT allows us to accept things as they are while we identify ways of changing our thoughts and committing to changing our behaviors.

Strengths Based Therapy

A therapeutic approach that focuses on your inner strengths, resourcefulness and resilience rather than your weaknesses, shortcoming and self-doubts. SBT encourages self empowerment, self determination and a sense of hope and motivation, When you begin to see all that you are, it opens up a new world around you rather than focusing on everything you (think) are not.
