Counseling that’s right for you
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
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 influences how we feel and what we do, and that we are not our thoughts. More “nuts-and-bolts,” present- and future- focused.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
for PTSD
A top-tier, structured treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Clients typically notice remarkable improvement in PTSD symptoms (intrusive thoughts and memories, hyperarousal, avoidance, and self-defeating beliefs).
Positive Psychotherapy
A strengths-based approach built on the idea that we all have strengths, and that using them creatively can lead to greater meaning and fulfillment. It pays to go further than alleviating suffering, and add practices that help us maintain our overall wellness.
Gottman Method
A roadmap for couples to improve their relationship. Goals of the therapy include strengthening the couple’s friendship, conflict management skills, and sense of shared meaning. Very well supported by research.
Attachment-Based Family Therapy
Heavily influenced by the science of attachment and designed for treating teenagers experiencing depression and suicidal ideation, ABFT is rooted in the belief that parents and caregivers have tremendous influence in the healthy development of their children. Includes strengthening trust and openness between kids and their parents and giving both the skills for problem-solving as a team.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
An outgrowth of CBT. Daws upon other theories of wellness for a well-rounded approach to treatment. A core tenet of ACT includes learning how to develop "psychological flexibility” - grounded in the present, detached from unhelpful ways of thinking, and living in accordance with our chosen values.
