Counseling that’s right for you
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Both a specific treatment and an umbrella term for other treatments. Includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among others.
Rooted in the idea that how we think and what we do impact how we feel, and that not everything we think is true. Practical, present- and future-focused.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
An outgrowth of CBT that draws upon other theories of wellness for a well-rounded, strengths-based approach to treatment. A core tenet of ACT includes learning how to develop "psychological flexibility” - being present to one’s life, detached from unhelpful ways of thinking, and living by one’s values.
Positive Psychotherapy
A strengths-based approach built on the idea that all people have strengths, and that using them creatively can lead to greater meaning and fulfillment.
It pays to go further than alleviating suffering by adding practices that help maintain overall wellness.
Well supported by research.
Attachment-Based Family Therapy
Heavily influenced by the science of attachment, ABFT is designed to support adolescents experiencing depression by drawing upon the invaluable support of parents and caregivers. Treatment includes strengthening trust and communication between teens and their parents and giving both the skills for problem-solving as a team.
Gottman Method
A structured therapy for couples.
Goals include strengthening the couple’s friendship, conflict management skills, and sense of shared meaning. This approach further provides a framework for treating the impact of trauma and infidelity on relationships. Very well supported by research.
