Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps the client recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Here we identify how your emotions and thoughts affect your actions. Once we notice these patterns, the client can begin to change their behaviors and develop new coping strategies.
-
Experiential therapy is a type of therapy where we use expressive tools, or activities to re-enact and recreate situations from past and present relationships and experiences which impacts one's self-esteem and experience of self in the world. These exercises help the client to re-integrate and understand oneself in a different light.
-
Transpersonal therapy integrates spiritual traditions and rituals into modern psychology. Here we explore the role mind, body, and spirit all play into the quality of our day to day life experiences. We also learn how integrating daily spiritual practices may improve our overall sense of well-being.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each client's mental system. These wounded parts are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, which is naturally confident, compassionate and whole. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts, creating harmony among the sub-personalities and the Self.
-
In mindfulness based practices, clients engage in a state of active, open attention to the present. Here the client learns to observe his or her thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad. These practices can be created and/or strengthened through meditation and breathwork both in and out of session.
-
Humanistic therapy is rooted in the belief of the inherent goodness and potential of human beings, focusing on an individual's desire and capability to self-actualize. Existential therapy, on the other hand, delves into the core issues of existence, including meaning-making, purpose, freedom, and issues around death and dying.

“The first noble truth of the Buddha is that when we feel suffering, it doesn’t mean that something is wrong. What a relief. Finally some body told the truth. Suffering is part of life, and we don’t have to feel it’s happening because we personally made the wrong move. In reality, however, when we feel suffering, we think that something is wrong. As long as we’re addicted to hope, we feel that we can tone our experience down or liven it up or change it somehow, and we continue to suffer a lot.”
