Therapeutic Approaches
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is a structured, attachment-based approach that helps individuals and couples create secure, lasting emotional bonds. By exploring underlying emotions and needs, clients develop deeper understanding, heal relational wounds, and build stronger, more fulfilling connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, clients develop healthier coping strategies and improve emotional regulation. This structured approach is highly effective for anxiety, depression, and behavior change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps individuals embrace thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them. By focusing on mindfulness, values-based actions, and cognitive flexibility, clients learn to navigate difficulties while building a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST)
Bowen FST views individuals within the context of their family and relational dynamics. By understanding generational patterns, emotional reactivity, and differentiation of self, clients develop healthier relationships and greater emotional independence.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
MI is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach designed to enhance motivation for change. By addressing ambivalence and reinforcing personal values, clients build confidence in making meaningful, sustainable life changes.
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)
Narrative Therapy helps individuals separate themselves from their problems by viewing their experiences as stories that can be reinterpreted and reshaped. Through this approach, clients explore the meaning they’ve given to life events, uncover strengths, and develop new, empowering narratives.
