Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy where clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives and how they feel about it.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Ongoing research continues to reveal this as an effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.

Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.

Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a trauma healing modality that works with the felt sense of the body. This body-oriented approach was created by Dr. Peter Levine who studied the nervous system’s reactions during times of stress or trauma and how the body naturally resolves high stress physiological states. This somatic modality works with fight, flight, freeze and flow systems of the body and its goal is to bring the body back into nervous system coherence (balance). Often during times of shock or distress, our bodies become stuck in dysregulated states. SE™ therapists provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states, focus on the autonomic nervous system and help clients come back into a natural state of self-regulation and coherence.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a non-pathologizing approach to psychotherapy. It emphasizes the natural multiplicity of the mind. The foundational premise is that there are no bad parts, only parts created into different protecting roles. When a client learns how to access inner Self, they can then heal their wounded parts. This brings the whole system into harmony and allows the client to be more Self-led. The natural side effect of this healing is a reduction in problematic/symptomatic behavior.

The initial goal of IFS therapy is to help the client access their Self and befriend the parts of themselves that have acted in protector roles. After, the goal is for the client to access wounds or hurt parts and heal them through an unburdening process. The ultimate goal of IFS is to increase the client’s access to Self so that they can be more Self-led. This process naturally allows clients to reach other goals they may have such as decreasing anxiety, improving relationships, or recovering from trauma.
