Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. If your inner dialogue often spirals into worry, criticism, or worst-case scenarios, CBT helps you interrupt those loops and replace them with patterns that support clarity and confidence.
It’s collaborative, structured, and skill-building.
You learn practical tools to use in real life, not just in session.

feeling disconnected from the bodyInternal Family Systems (IFS) IFS views the psyche as a community of inner parts: protectors, critics, wounded pieces, and the compassionate “Self” underneath.

Best for: inner conflict, shame, trauma, self-sabotage, identity healingEye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing experiences so they lose intensity.

If you’ve felt a quiet ache for “something more,” this is a place to explore it.

Best for: transitions, spiritual questions, inner calling, loss of direction.Gestalt TherapyGestalt therapy focuses on the here and now, your sensations, posture, emotions, and how you relate in the moment.

How to Choose What’s Right for You
There is no single “correct” modality. Healing is not a test...it’s a relationship.
Some people prefer a structured, skills-based approach while others want to explore deeper meaning or connect with the wisdom stored in the body.
Many therapists blend multiple modalities so your treatment evolves with you.

You can always ask questions.
You can always switch.
What matters most is that you feel supported, seen, and safe to grow.
