- Flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Avoidance of reminders or situations

- Emotional overwhelm or shutdown
- Difficulty with relationships or boundaries

Evidence-Based Treatments We Use
We Use
Our therapists draw from several trusted therapeutic approaches to support healing, clarity, and emotional wellbeing. Depending on your needs, your therapist may integrate:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps you understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can build healthier patterns and reduce distress.
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)
A structured trauma therapy that helps the brain process painful memories in a safe, controlled way without needing to retell every detail.
