Therapy Modalities 

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY 

Psychodynamic Therapy 

What Is Psychodynamic Therapy? 
Psychodynamic therapy is a time-tested approach that explores how your past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns shape the way you feel, think, and relate to others today. Rather than only focusing on surface symptoms, psychodynamic therapy helps you uncover the deeper roots of emotional struggles, creating lasting change from the inside out. 

How It Works 
In therapy, you and your therapist build a safe, trusting relationship where you can explore recurring thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns. By bringing hidden or unexamined experiences into awareness, you gain insight into the “why” behind your emotions and behaviors. This insight leads to freedom from old patterns and the ability to make new, healthier choices. 

Benefits of Psychodynamic Therapy 

• Deep understanding of self and relationships 

• Relief from depression, anxiety, and emotional distress 

• Healing from unresolved trauma or loss 

• Greater capacity for intimacy and connection 

• Long-term personal growth and resilience 

Who Can Benefit? 
Psychodynamic therapy is especially helpful for individuals who feel “stuck” in recurring relationship difficulties, struggle with low self-esteem, or sense that past experiences continue to influence their present life. It’s well-suited for anyone seeking meaningful, lasting change rather than quick fixes. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy 

What Is IFS? 
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerful, evidence-based approach to therapy that helps people understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves. We all have inner voices, feelings, and patterns of behavior—some supportive, others critical or protective. IFS views these parts not as problems, but as valuable aspects of your inner world that can be gently understood and transformed. 

How It Works 
In IFS, you’ll learn to connect with your core Self—the calm, compassionate center within you. From this place of strength, you can approach your parts with curiosity and care, rather than judgment. Over time, protective parts soften, wounded parts find healing, and you begin to feel more balanced, whole, and at peace. 

Benefits of IFS Therapy 

• Greater self-compassion and inner harmony 

• Healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression 

• Reduction of inner conflict and self-criticism 

• Improved relationships and emotional resilience 

• A deeper sense of wholeness and authenticity 

Who Can Benefit? 
IFS can be especially effective for those struggling with trauma, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, or patterns of self-sabotage. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional pain or simply want to deepen your self-awareness, IFS offers a compassionate path toward lasting growth. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 

What Is CBT? 
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely researched and effective forms of therapy. It focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. When unhelpful thought patterns take hold, they can create cycles of stress, anxiety, or depression. CBT helps you identify these patterns, challenge them, and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and responding. 

How It Works 
In CBT, you’ll work collaboratively with your therapist to set clear goals and practice practical tools you can use in daily life. Techniques may include thought reframing, problem-solving, mindfulness, and behavior changes. Over time, these strategies build resilience and help you regain a sense of control over your emotions and choices. 

Benefits of CBT 

• Relief from anxiety, depression, and stress 

• Tools for managing negative or intrusive thoughts 

• Improved coping strategies and emotional regulation 

• Practical skills you can apply outside of therapy 

• Increased confidence and problem-solving ability 

Who Can Benefit? 
CBT is highly effective for individuals dealing with anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, and everyday stress. It’s also well-suited for people who want a structured, solution-focused approach with strategies that bring noticeable results. 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) 

What Is DBT? 
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of therapy originally developed to support people struggling with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and difficulties in relationships. DBT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive and behavioral strategies, helping you accept yourself as you are while also making meaningful changes in your life. 

How It Works 
In DBT, you’ll learn skills across four key areas: 

• Mindfulness – staying present and grounded 

• Distress Tolerance – coping with crises in healthy ways 

• Emotion Regulation – managing overwhelming feelings 

• Interpersonal Effectiveness – building stronger, more balanced relationships 

DBT can be offered in individual therapy, group skills training, or a combination of both. Over time, these skills help you find balance, reduce harmful behaviors, and build a life that feels worth living. 

Benefits of DBT 

• Reduces self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and impulsive behaviors 

• Improves ability to handle stress and crisis situations 

• Builds emotional stability and resilience 

• Strengthens relationships through healthier communication 

• Promotes mindfulness, acceptance, and personal growth 

Who Can Benefit? 
DBT is especially effective for individuals coping with borderline personality disorder (BPD), trauma, eating disorders, or other conditions involving intense emotions and difficulty regulating behavior. It’s also valuable for anyone who feels “hijacked” by their emotions and wants practical tools to manage them more effectively.
