Therapy modalities that make an impact.
EMDR
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a heavily researched, trauma-based intervention. It is used in the treatment of both big and small traumas, anxiety disorders, depression, stress-related conditions and disassociation. EMDR goes beyond talk therapy, tapping into the brain’s powerful healing potential. It helps us explore our core beliefs, both past and present, and the impact these beliefs have on ourselves and our interactions with the world around us. EMDR has a strong emphasis on the mind/body connection. Learn more about how and why EMDR works here: About EMDR Therapy - EMDR International Association (emdria.org)
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected. This can be highly beneficial if you frequently experience negative emotions such as worry, anger or fear. Our thoughts often dictate how we feel and behave, sometimes without conscious awareness. Through cognitive interventions, we can identify negative thought patterns, become more in tune with how we feel, and in turn begin to modify behaviors which don’t serve us. Essentially, we will take a deeper dive into thinking about the way you think. Skills like deep breathing, mindfulness and grounding techniques are often intertwined with cognitive approaches.
Attachment
Attachment work involves examining our earliest relationships in an effort to better understand our current connections. If relationship conflict is a stressor in your life, we will work to understand attachment styles and identify patterns that have you feeling stuck. Sometimes therapy is as much about “unlearning” unhealthy patterns, as it is about learning new information. You are worthy of a deep, meaningful connection with yourself and others.
