Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s commonly used to treat anxiety, depression, stress, and negative thinking patterns, and it focuses on building practical skills to manage everyday challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies to help individuals regulate emotions, build distress tolerance, and improve interpersonal relationships. It is especially effective for emotion dysregulation, mood disorders, and borderline personality traits.

Mindfulness Based Therapy

Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness, helping clients become more grounded and less reactive to thoughts and emotions. It’s often integrated with other therapies and is beneficial for stress, anxiety, and overall emotional balance.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy is an approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and prioritizes emotional safety, empowerment, and trust. It supports clients in healing from past trauma, PTSD, and complex emotional wounds without re-traumatization.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-Focused Therapy is a goal-oriented, strengths-based approach that emphasizes what’s working rather than what’s wrong. Instead of focusing heavily on past problems, SFBT helps clients identify their own resources and build solutions for the future. It’s especially effective for those seeking short-term support, clarity, or motivation during life transitions and challenges.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps clients accept difficult emotions and thoughts while committing to values-based actions. It’s especially useful for those dealing with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, encouraging psychological flexibility and present-moment focus.
