Evidence-based Therapy Modalities

Prolonged Exposure Trauma Therapy

Prolonged Exposure Therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy specifically designed to help individuals confront and process traumatic memories and related anxiety. By gradually exposing clients to trauma-related cues in a safe environment, the therapy aims to reduce fear and distress, ultimately leading to improved coping and a decrease in PTSD symptoms.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on teaching skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Designed originally for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT helps clients balance acceptance and change to improve their emotional well-being and relationships.

Assertiveness Training Therapy

Assertiveness Training Therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals develop the skills necessary to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs confidently and appropriately. It aims to empower people to communicate more effectively, set boundaries, and advocate for themselves while respecting others' rights and feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By helping individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT aims to promote healthier coping strategies and improve emotional well-being.

Emotion-Focused Therapy

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) encourages clients to explore, express, and regulate their emotions, facilitating greater self-awareness and emotional processing. Through techniques such as emotional validation, clients learn to identify and articulate their feelings, allowing them to confront unresolved emotional conflicts and enhance their emotional intelligence. EFT empowers clients to transform their emotional experiences, leading to improved psychological well-being and more fulfilling relationships.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy is a therapeutic approach that centers on the stories individuals tell about their lives, helping them to reframe and reshape those narratives to foster healing. By externalizing problems and exploring personal values and experiences, clients can develop a more positive self-identity and find new ways to approach challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling ashamed of them. It emphasizes mindfulness and committing to values-based actions, helping people create a meaningful life while navigating difficult emotions.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than delving into problems or their origins. SFBT operates on the premise that clients possess the resources and strengths needed to resolve their issues. The therapy focuses on specific goals, encouraging clients to envision their desired outcomes and identify steps to achieve them. This goal-oriented approach is effective for a wide range of issues, making it adaptable in various therapeutic settings.

Attachment Therapy

Attachment Style Therapy focuses on understanding how an individual's attachment patterns—formed in early relationships—impact their current behaviors and relationships. By exploring these attachment styles, clients can gain insight into their emotional responses and relationship dynamics, allowing for healthier connections and improved emotional well-being.
