Therapy Modalities
I am trained in many different forms of therapy. I will naturally implement all these modalities into our therapy sessions and suggest which ones I believe you will benefit most from. Here is more information to better help you understand what to expect in therapy.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART was created to help people who have experienced trauma. This technique works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong emotional and physical reactions. ART’s use of Voluntary Image Replacement allows clients to get rid of traumatic images and restore mental health by replacing it with a more positive image.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR, also a trauma therapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. The eye movements in EMDR allows us to access the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
MI, a person-centered, non-confrontational counseling technique that helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and behaviors. You will identify your negative thought patterns and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits that are more in line with reality. Clients tend to develop a greater sense of confidence in one’s own abilities, thus resulting in behavioral changes such as facing one’s fears instead of avoiding them and learning to calm one’s mind and relax one’s body.
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
SFT is a future-focused, goal-directed, therapeutic approach that focuses on solutions, rather than on the problems that bring clients in to therapy. It incorporates positive psychology which helps clients change by formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
