EMDR
EMDR is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process trauma, phobias, and addictions. In sessions, clients focus on a specific memory or emotion while tracking the therapist’s finger or another moving object, gradually allowing distressing thoughts to pass by like scenery viewed from a moving train, ultimately reducing their emotional impact and promoting healing.
Multicultural
Multicultural awareness involves understanding and respecting the values and experiences of minority groups across various identities such as race, culture, and gender. In multicultural counseling, the therapist acknowledges these differences and provides support without imposing their own perspectives on the client.
Somatic
Somatic psychotherapy connects the mind and body, recognizing that emotions, behaviors, and thoughts are deeply tied to physical experiences. It is particularly effective in trauma treatment by exploring how past traumas manifest as physical symptoms, influencing emotion regulation and overall functioning.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy emphasizes your internal strengths and resourcefulness rather than focusing on weaknesses or failures. This positive approach helps you build resilience, enhance your best qualities, and shift to a more optimistic worldview, fostering healthier expectations of yourself and others.
Areas of Expertise
CBT focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, helping clients identify and modify negative beliefs. It’s a structured, collaborative approach that has been proven effective in treating disorders like depression and anxiety in a relatively short time.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
