Treatment Approaches- Evidence-based therapies used:
Cognitive Behavioral(CBT) - If your thoughts keep spiraling into worry or self-doubt, CBT can help you break those patterns and build healthier ways of thinking.
Dialectal Behavior (DBT) - If you struggle with big emotions that feel overwhelming, DBT teaches practical skills to manage them and improve your relationships.
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - If past trauma or painful memories still feel raw, EMDR helps your brain process them so they don’t control your life anymore.
Gestalt - If you struggle with unresolved emotions or feel stuck in the past, Gestalt therapy helps you focus on the present and take control of your choices.
Solution-Focused (SFT) -If you’re feeling stuck, solution-focused therapy helps you identify what’s working and create a plan to move forward quickly.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) - If your thoughts tend to be harsh, negative, or overly critical, REBT helps you challenge those beliefs and see things in a healthier way.
Pre-marital counseling (SYMBIS) - If you and your partner want to build a strong foundation for marriage, SYMBIS helps you understand each other better and plan for a healthy future together.
Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) - If your child has been through tough experiences or struggles with trust, TBRI helps build strong, connected relationships through understanding and support.
