Our Specialities
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an empowering and transformative form of psychotherapy that recognizes the complexity of the human psyche. It posits that the mind is made up of various sub-personalities, or "parts," each with its own distinct roles and emotions. IFS therapy helps individuals access these parts, understand their intentions, and heal them in a compassionate environment, leading to greater self-harmony and integrated functioning.

Gottman's Couple's Therapy
Gottman's Couple's Therapy is based on decades of research and clinical practice by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This method is designed to help couples enhance their relationships through the establishment of deep friendship, constructive management of conflicts, and the creation of shared meaning. Therapists guide couples using evidence-based interventions to strengthen their relationship foundation for lasting companionship and love.
LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy
LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy is a supportive approach that affirms the identity and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals. This modality recognizes the unique stressors faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, such as discrimination and identity struggles. Therapists create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space encouraging self-acceptance, pride, and empowerment, while addressing the full range of life's challenges.
Phase-Based Trauma Psychotherapy
Phase-Based Trauma Psychotherapy is an integrative approach that addresses the multifaceted nature of trauma. Treatment is typically delivered in phases, starting with safety and stabilization, followed by processing of traumatic memories, and then consolidation and integration. This structured approach ensures that clients build the necessary coping mechanisms before engaging deeply with their traumatic experiences.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured therapeutic approach that blends behavioral science with mindfulness principles. Originally developed for treating borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for a range of issues including emotional dysregulation, self-harm, and mood disorders. It focuses on building skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely utilized evidence-based treatment that addresses maladaptive thinking patterns that contribute to emotional distress and harmful behaviors. Through a collaborative, goal-oriented approach, clients learn to identify, challenge, and modify negative thought patterns and beliefs, leading to improvements in mood and behavior.
