Therapeutic Modalities I Utilize
-
EMDR- Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy: An evidence based trauma treatment that utilizes bilateral stimulation to reprocess traumatic events and the beliefs we hold around them. EMDR helps individuals to create more adaptive neural connections around traumatic events and emotions and has been proven to significantly reduce distress associated with these traumatic events in a fairly short period of time.
-
CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Examines the impact our thoughts have on our emotions and behaviors and works to reframe and restructure our thoughts to better serve us.
-
Supportive Therapy: Utilizes support, empathy, and validation to help guide you through managing your symptoms.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Works to accept our full range of emotions by relating to our internal experiences in a different way instead of fighting or trying to avoid them.
-
Internal Family Systems Therapy: IFS utilizes the lens that we all have different parts or subpersonalities within us that have developed certain roles over time, much similar to different roles within an actual family system. IFS works to get to know these parts and their needs while working to help integrate them in order to reduce maladaptive coping skills.
