Individual Psychotherapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, meaning that negative thoughts can lead to distressing feelings and unhelpful behaviors. CBT focuses on teaching practical strategies to replace negative thinking with healthier, more realistic thoughts, ultimately improving emotional well-being and decision-making. Widely used for managing anxiety, anxiety disorders like OCD, social anxiety and phobias, ADHD, depression, and stress. 

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand and work through their emotions to create meaningful change. EFIT helps people that are caught in cycles of emotional suppression, avoidance, and reactive escalation. In EFIT, clients can step out of these cycles by recognizing and reprocessing deep emotional experiences and find their emotional balance. Through EFIT, individuals learn to respond to their emotions in constructive ways, fostering a stronger sense of self, resilience, and emotional well-being. It is particularly effective for addressing grief and loss, trauma, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, self-worth and relationship challenges. 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals regulate emotions, build healthier relationships, and improve coping skills. DBT is often structured around four main skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT has since proven effective for a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, anger management, relational issues, and substance use problems.  

Narrative Therapy is a collaborative form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to explore and reshape the limiting or negative stories they tell about themselves and their lives. By separating individuals from their problems, Narrative Therapy allows people to gain perspective, emphasize their strengths, and create new, empowering narratives. This approach is often used to address a variety of issues, including trauma, depression, attachment, perfectionism stress and burnout, and identity challenges. 

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centered therapeutic approach designed to help individuals find the motivation to make positive behavioral changes. It focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence by encouraging clients to express their own reasons for change rather than imposing goals or directions.  MI is widely applied to a range of issues, including health behavior change, stress and burnout, and lifestyle adjustments. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that combines mindfulness practices with behavior change strategies to help individuals live in alignment with their values. ACT empowers individuals to live by focusing on actions and more fully by embracing life’s challenges. ACT can be useful in addressing anxiety, OCD, depression, body image, stress and substance use problems. 

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented therapeutic approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than focusing on problems. In SFBT, clients work with their therapist to identify and build on their strengths, set clear goals, and envision positive outcomes.  SFBT is known for being highly practical, empowering clients to make meaningful progress in a short amount of time and is widely used for issues like stress, lifestyle changes, improving habits and increasing psychological flexibility.
