Psychotherapy

Therapists draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Some of the most common interventions include:

 

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

Focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is especially effective for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress-related conditions.

 

2. Sand Tray Therapy:

Sand Tray Therapy is a creative and expressive approach that allows clients to communicate thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to put into words. Using miniature figures and a tray of sand, clients build scenes that reflect their inner world, experiences, and feelings.

​

Through this process, individuals gain insight, release emotional tension, and develop healthier ways to cope with challenges. Sand Tray Therapy is often used to support healing from trauma, anxiety, grief, or behavioral and emotional struggles, in a gentle and nonverbal way.

 

3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):

A form of CBT that emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is commonly used with individuals struggling with intense emotions or borderline personality disorder.

 

4. Play Therapy:

Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate approach that helps children express thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play — their natural language. Using toys, art, and imagination, children can explore emotions, resolve inner conflicts, and build coping skills in a safe, supportive environment.

​

Through play, children learn to communicate more effectively, develop problem-solving abilities, and gain confidence in managing difficult emotions or life changes. Play therapy is especially effective for children dealing with anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, grief, or family transitions.

5. Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy:

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders. It helps individuals gradually face their fears or intrusive thoughts (exposures) while resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors (response prevention).

​

With guidance and support, clients learn to reduce anxiety, break unhelpful cycles, and regain control over their lives. ERP empowers individuals to respond to distress with confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion — leading to lasting relief from the grip of OCD.

6. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):

Primarily used to treat trauma and PTSD, EMDR helps process distressing memories by using bilateral stimulation such as guided eye movements.

 

7. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT):

Concentrates on finding practical solutions and building on a client’s strengths rather than focusing extensively on the problem itself.

 

8. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals build a healthier relationship with their thoughts and emotions rather than fighting against them. Through mindfulness and values-based action, clients learn to accept what is outside of their control and focus on making meaningful choices that align with their true values.

​

ACT supports growth, flexibility, and self-compassion, helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions while creating a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.
