Modalities

I employ a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to tackle various issues.. Here are some of the key approaches I use:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This structured, hands-on method assists individuals in altering patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to their challenges, thereby changing their emotional responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): An evidence-based approach that blends elements of CBT with mindfulness practices. It focuses on teaching clients to live in the moment, develop effective stress-coping mechanisms, regulate emotions, and enhance interpersonal relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy: This approach aims to strengthen the fundamental bonds between individuals, improving emotional connections within relationships. It is particularly useful in marital counseling and advanced parenting workshops.

Psychodynamic Therapy: A depth-oriented therapy that delves into the unconscious processes affecting behavior and emotions. This modality strives to uncover how past experiences, especially from early childhood, shape current behaviors and relationships. It is ideal for individuals keen on exploring the deep-rooted origins of their emotional issues.

Reality Therapy: Emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and the power of making better choices to achieve specific goals. This approach focuses on the present and future, encouraging individuals to create a practical plan to improve their personal relationships and overall life satisfaction. It helps clients identify what they want, evaluate their current behaviors, and develop strategies to make positive changes.

 

Trauma-Informed Care: Recognizes the profound impact of trauma on behavior and health. This approach focuses on understanding, recognizing, and responding to trauma by creating an environment of safety, choice, and empowerment. It aims to avoid re-traumatization, support resilience, and facilitate healing by acknowledging the pervasive effects of trauma on an individual's life.

Trauma Informed Treatment

Trauma-informed care recognizes how trauma can shape individual behavior and overall health—physically, emotionally, and mentally. It involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to all types of trauma, while focusing on building skills over fostering dependency, and promoting safety, choice, and empowerment. This approach addresses:
 

  • - Interpersonal Trauma: Involving trauma within personal relationships, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.

  • - Chronic Trauma: Stemming from prolonged exposure to stressful situations like abuse or long-term illness, with progressively worsening effects.

  • - Complex Trauma: Originating from multiple, often interpersonal traumatic events, typically in environments with no escape, such as during childhood abuse.

  • - Developmental Trauma: Occurring during a child’s formative years in persistently harmful environments, affecting their emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.
