Our Therapeutic Offerings:
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on resolving interpersonal issues and improving communication and relationship skills. IPT aims to improve the client's social support network, enhance their ability to form and maintain healthy relationships, and ultimately alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of depth psychology that focuses on exploring the unconscious processes and unresolved conflicts that contribute to a person's emotional and psychological distress. The ultimate goal of psychodynamic therapy is to help resolve underlying conflicts, gain insight into unconscious processes, and develop healthier ways of coping with life's challenges.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy, also known as body-centered therapy, is an approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between the mind and body in addressing emotional and psychological issues. Through this process, clients can gain insight into the underlying causes of their emotional difficulties, release stored tension or trauma held in the body, and develop healthier ways of regulating their emotions and responses to stress.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is founded on the principle that each individual possesses a system of protective and wounded inner parts, all guided by a core perception of self. It posits that we are composed of multiple parts or sub-personalities, many of which we may not fully recognize. As an evidence-based psychotherapy, IFS aids in healing by accessing and addressing these protective and wounded inner parts and is a highly effective tool, especially when combined with KAP or other forms of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.
Innate Somatic Intelligence™ Trauma Therapy (ISITTA)
ISITTA is an integrative, relational, and somatic approach to trauma healing. Rooted in Hakomi Therapy techniques, ISITTA incorporates a polyvagal trauma-informed perspective, emphasizing the somatic, relational, and clinical skills necessary for trauma transformation.By establishing connection with the soma, we tap into the innate healing intelligence present within each individual.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy can address a wide range of relationship issues, including recurring conflicts and feelings of disconnection, while working to improve communication and strengthen relationships.
Family Therapy
A type of psychotherapy that helps family members better understand each other, support one another and work through difficult situations. This approach considers the interconnected dynamics among family members, drawing from family systems theory, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral techniques and communication strategies.
Ecopsychology
Ecopsychology presents a healing paradigm that perceives the human mind and body within the context of nature and the intricate tapestry of existence. It provides a philosophical framework for delving into the profound bond between humans and their environment, scrutinizing its impact on our welfare and guiding us in understanding how nature shapes our emotions, identity, and general well-being. Therapists may incorporate outdoor activities like walks or hikes into treatment to enhance one's affinity with the natural world. This approach recognizes a mutual reciprocity between the natural rhythms of our world and a harmonious psyche.
