Our approach
Good therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
You don’t need to know which type of therapy is “right” for you. We’ll figure it out together. We’ll get to know you, understand what you’re hoping for, and use proven approaches tailored to you.
You don’t need to choose your own therapy.
Therapy isn’t like picking a coffee order. You don’t have to show up knowing what DBT, EMDR, or ACT means. Just bring yourself. We’ll take it from there.
We listen first.
We learn what you’re experiencing, what matters to you, and what you’ve tried before.
We make a plan.
We choose approaches that make sense for you - not the other way around.
We adjust as we go.
Therapy is a collaborative process. If something isn’t helping, we change it.
You’re in charge.
You set the pace, your goals, and what feels right for you.
The approaches we use
We draw from evidence-based therapies and integrate them in a way that fits you.
DBT
For big feelings and real life
DBT teaches practical skills for managing emotions, reducing overwhelm, improving relationships, and building a life you want to be present for.
Good for: intense emotions, self-criticism, anxiety, depression, relationships, impulsivity, eating disorders, and more.
EMDR
For healing from trauma
EMDR is a structured therapy that can help reduce distress connected to difficult memories.
Good for: trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, grief, and distressing life experiences.
ACT
For getting unstuck and living on purpose
ACT helps you accept what you can’t change, get unhooked from unhelpful thoughts, and take steps toward what matters most.
Good for: anxiety, stress, overthinking, self-doubt, life transitions, burnout, and exploring values.
Mindfulness
For more calm and clarity
Mindfulness helps you slow down, tune in, and respond with more intention instead of reaction.
Good for: anxiety, stress, rumination, sleep struggles, and feeling overwhelmed.
Somatic Therapy
For when emotional distress lives in your body
Somatic approaches help you notice physical sensations and patters, build awareness of how emotions show up in your body, and practice ways of feeling more grounded and present.
Good for: stress, trauma, anxiety, chronic tension, and feeling disconnected.
Integrative Therapy
For YOU, not a one-size-fits-all plan
We blend approaches based on your needs, your goals, and what works best for you.
Good for: everyone
What therapy with us might actually look like
Talking things through
In a supportive, judgment-free space where you can fully be yourself.
Learning and practicing skills
Tools you can use in real life, not just in session.
Noticing what is happening in your body
So you can feel more grounded and in control.
Sitting with the hard stuff
At a pace that feels supportive, not overwhelming.
Trying something different
Between sessions, with support along the way.
Common questions
-
Nope.
You don’t need to decide whether you need DBT, EMDR, ACT, somatic therapy, or anything else before you begin.
Your therapist will learn about what you’re experiencing, your goals, your preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before.
From there, you will decide together what approach makes sense.
-
Absolutely.
In fact, that’s often what we do.
People are complicated, and therapy rarely fits perfectly into one box. Your therapist may draw from several evidence based approaches depending on what you need.
-
Tell us.
Seriously.
Therapy is collaborative, and feedback is useful information, not criticism.
If an approch, exercise, or direction doesn’t feel helpful, we want to know so we can understand why and adjust.
-
No.
Talking is certainly part of therapy, but depending on your goals, sessions may also include learning or practicing skills, mindfulness, noticing body sensations, grounding exercises, EMDR, or other forms of experiential work.
-
We consider what brought you to therapy, your goals, your history, your preferences, what research suggests may be helpful, and how you respond as therapy progresses.
It isn’t a decision we make once and never revisit.
Treatment can evolve as you do.
-
Absolutely!
Your goals don’t have to sound clinical.
They might be:
“I want to stop overthinking.”
“I want to feel more like myself.”
“I want the past to stop affecting me so much.”
We will help turn what matters to you into meaningful therapy goals.
You bring yourself, we’ll bring the therapy.
You don’t have to know exactly where to start, we’ll figure it out together.
