Psychotherapy is a general term that encompasses various methods used in therapy to help you make desirable changes in your life. In addition to the types of therapy listed above, we use certain modalities of therapy to achieve a certain goal.  Over the years, I have been trained in a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities designed to help with issues like post-trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, couples relational problems, and more. After our first session, we can collaboratively discuss what modality will be best suited for you based on your needs.  Below are descriptions of some modalities I use that are proven to be effective:

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family System Model is a transformative approach that integrates the whole self into being. All individuals of any background, race, religion, sex, orientation, age, class, ability, or culture are welcome to explore their internal struggles and identity with the world.  Many of us have a sense of alienation from community at times; this therapy model helps empower the individual to explore who they are and how they belong in the larger human systems without judgment or fear. IFS instills a self-lead leadership model that harmonizes the mind through core self healing and allows for compassionate connections where the multiple mind and valuable qualities are wholly integrated and expressed to create confidence and courage to create a life worth living.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a highly effective mode of therapy to help patients resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain rather than focusing on the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that result from traumatic or past harmful events.  This therapy model does not require lengthy discussion about the details surrounding past traumatic, stressful, or anxiety-triggering events; instead it helps the brain resume its natural healing process in few sessions targeting subconscious beliefs and relieving the patient of the flight, fight, or freeze stress response.  Once the automatic response trigger is resolved, patients may then feel immediate relief from anxiety, stress, PTSD, sleep disorders, abuse, substance use addiction, and other challenges.  Highly efficient, EMDR is a short-term burst of therapy that helps target triggered responses and allows the patient to resume natural healing as the past events are finally processed and reactivity has been alleviated, giving the client more control and conscious centeredness in their life.

Spiritual Therapy

Calling in the awareness of a higher power or larger universal truth and one's connection to it, Spiritual Therapy aims to treat the soul as well as the mind and body. Oftentimes, a deeper disconnect is happening for an individual than what can be seen in the physical plane. One who feels disconnect, aimlessness, loss, lack of motivation, depression, anxiety, or other results of isolation may be suffering from disharmony with their soul's calling and unconscious knowing.  One may be in a state of questioning their own morality and internal divine compass and is looking outside oneself for direction, being pulled in ways that are not serving the individual soul, and leaving them feeling exhausted and conflicted. We help the individual explore those moral conflicts that lead to depression and those acts of self-sabotage that lead to anxiety, helping them to re-connect with their inner knowing and intuition.  Through the use of tools such as scripture, meditation, music, communing with nature, and other therapeutic modalities, we get the individual to look within rather than without, and into an understanding that they are never alone.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the reactivity of the individual to a certain triggering event rather than on the situation itself.  This model helps clients identify the automatic negative thought processes or harmful reactions that develop from past habits or required behaviors arising out of a need to self-preserve or protect loved ones, and which arise during present triggering events. This modality calls those behaviors and past habits into question and helps change the individual's perceptions.  Most of the time, reactions based on distress signals caused by anxiety, fear, and trauma, are unhelpful, false, and distorted.  When an individual identifies these distortions, they can work to change their perceived reality and relieve the need to react aggressively, allowing for a more normalized feeling and behavior. Clients can react to their present circumstances and understand that they are no longer experiencing the past event.  When they no longer need to live in a distorted reality, they are given permission to live more realistically and authentically.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps the individual recognize a certain behavioral or emotional response, observe thoughts that arise out of those triggered responses, accept and tolerate painful situations that are out of the individual's control; and communicate effectively to express their needs and desires moving forward.  DBT asks the individual to practice the pause and observe their surroundings, thoughts, behaviors, and reactions that arise before they occur so that they may change the patterned outcome. Many individuals live in a state of fear that a perceive outcome will undoubtedly occur based on a certain set of stimuli, but DBT helps the individual understand that not every set of stimuli, regardless of the triggered response coming from within, comes from the same external intent. Once the individual can understand that they cannot always control their outside world, but how they react to it, they are empowered with peace, internal stability, and control over what they allow and disallow in their own lives.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a model that focuses on short-term goals based on past models of success for each individual client; it is solution-based rather than problem-based.  This modality asks the client to think back to another challenging situation and put into place small steps they can take to achieve another successful outcome.  This helpful and hopeful mode of therapy uses positive psychology principles to achieve solutions to problems and future-oriented changes.  SFBT motivates clients to think of satisfying solutions that are not only desirable but achievable and orients the individual out of circular reasoning that keeps them anxiety-ridden and into forward thinking reasoning that helps them walk toward their life plan and purpose.
