Our methods
Humanistic therapy
In humanistic therapy, the main focus is on a person's capacity to make rational choices and develop.
Cognitive therapy
In cognitive therapy, the focus is on what people think rather than what they do.
Psychoanalysis
In psychoanalysis, we focus on changing problematic behaviors by understanding the unconscious meanings and motivations behind them.
Behavior therapy
In behavior therapy, the main focus is on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors.
Narrative therapy
Narrative therapy is a collaborative therapeutic approach that helps people "rewrite" their life stories by examining and reshaping the narrative they tell about themselves.
Internal Family System
In IFS therapy, the main focus is on true "self" to lead their internal system with compassion.
Trauma-Focused
Trauma-focused therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach that specifically addresses the mental, emotional, and physical effects of trauma on an individual.
