Therapy Approaches Used to Support Healing

Helps your brain process past experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming in the present. EMDR can reduce anxiety, intrusive thoughts, shame, and emotional reactivity.
Helps you stop fighting your thoughts and instead create space to move toward what matters most. ACT builds values-aligned living, emotional flexibility, and self-compassion.
Helps you understand the different “parts” of you — the anxious part, the protector, the inner critic — so you can relate to yourself with more clarity, gentleness, and balance.
Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy that helps access and process trauma, emotional pain, and deeply held experiences that can be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. By using specific eye positions, Brainspotting supports your brain's natural ability to heal while helping reduce emotional distress and improve overall well-being.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an evidence-based approach designed to help reduce or eliminate chronic pain that is influenced by the nervous system. By changing how the brain interprets pain signals, PRT helps retrain the brain, decrease fear around pain, and support lasting relief without ignoring or dismissing your physical experience.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps people develop practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, tolerating distress, and staying present in the moment. DBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation, self-harm, and overwhelming stress by teaching skills that create lasting emotional balance.
Somatic Therapy is a body-centered approach that recognizes that stress and trauma are often stored in the nervous system—not just in our thoughts. Through gentle awareness of physical sensations, movement, breathing, and nervous system regulation, Somatic Therapy helps reduce anxiety, process trauma, and restore a greater sense of safety, connection, and resilience.
Attachment-Focused Therapy explores how early relationships and life experiences shape the way we connect with ourselves and others. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, or fear of abandonment, while helping you build healthier, more secure ways of relating. This approach fosters greater emotional safety, resilience, and lasting connection in your relationships and daily life.
