Our Approach
Different therapists have different ways of helping people with their problems. Some therapists focus on the past and how it affects the present, some focus on the present and how to change it, and some therapists focus on the future and how to achieve it. These are called approaches in therapy, and they can vary depending on the therapist's training, beliefs, and style. There is no one right or wrong approach, but some may suit you better than others depending on your situation and goals.
Acceptance & Commitment
Helps you live in the present and accept your thoughts and feelings without judging them. Helps you move on from hard emotions so you can focus on healing instead of being stuck in the negative.
Dialectical-Behavioral
Helps people who have trouble with their emotions. It teaches them skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Solution-Focused
Helps focus on goals and solutions, than the problems and causes. Based on the idea that you have the resources and strengths to overcome your difficulties and you can create positive change.
Psychodynamic

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy [CBT]
