Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Supports you in noticing unhelpful thoughts, staying grounded in the present, and making choices based on your personal values.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Teaches skills for emotion regulation, grounding, communication, and managing overwhelming moments more calmly.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Focuses on your strengths, resources, and what is working to help you move forward with small, meaningful steps.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
