Therapy Techniques

Explore effective mental health techniques I use in therapy with clients. Learn how these evidence-based therapies can help manage anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an innovative approach to psychotherapy. IFS therapists believe the mind is naturally multiple. We all have inner parts, or “internal families,” that contain valuable qualities. Our core Self can help us balance these parts, allowing us to become integrated and whole.

​

The IFS model asserts that each person has some wounded parts, like anger or shame, and other parts that try to control and protect us from those wounded parts. IFS therapists help identify and reconcile these parts, so the person’s core Self can find true healing.

Emotion-Focused Therapy

Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) views emotions as fundamental to human experience and therapeutic change, rather than as something to be avoided or suppressed. EFT helps individuals and couples identify and address unmet emotional needs, which can contribute to relational distress and emotional dysregulation. EFT aims to help individuals and couples develop more secure attachment patterns, leading to greater intimacy, trust, and well-being.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy

Acceptance Commitment therapy (ACT) helps individuals develop psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with their values, ultimately promoting a more meaningful and purposeful life. ACT aims to increase an individual's ability to adapt and respond effectively to life's challenges, rather than rigidly avoiding or suppressing difficult experiences. It encourages present-moment awareness and observing thoughts and feelings without judgment.
