The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy is a research-based approach designed to help couples improve their relationships.

This method emphasizes the importance of friendship and shared goals in building a strong, lasting connection.

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 guilty about them. It emphasizes mindfulness and the importance of living in the present moment while committing to actions that align with one's values. Focusing on acceptance and behavioral change, ACT helps people develop psychological flexibility, leading to a more fulfilling life.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while the client recalls distressing memories, facilitating the integration of these memories into a healthier narrative. EMDR can be effective in treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, enabling individuals to move forward, despite past trauma.
