Therapy
Types of Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy works best if you want practical, present-focused change rather than deep exploration of past experiences. It’s especially helpful for individuals who can identify clear goals, notice small successes, and build on existing strengths. SFBT fits well for situational stress, adjustment issues, work or relationship problems, and mild to moderate anxiety or depression. It’s often effective when time is limited, motivation is high, and problems are not rooted in complex or developmental trauma. Clients who prefer action steps over emotional processing tend to benefit most.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
A 12-week Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) course addresses chronic trauma responses by helping you identify and challenge trauma-related beliefs (“stuck points”) about safety, trust, power, esteem, and intimacy. Through structured worksheets and cognitive restructuring, you will learn how trauma distorted your interpretations of events and self-worth. By repeatedly examining and updating these beliefs, emotional distress and avoidance decrease. CPT does not require detailed trauma reliving, making it tolerable for many with chronic trauma, and it aims to reduce symptoms by restoring a more balanced, flexible understanding of the traumatic experience.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Together, we address chronic anxiety, attachment trauma, self-loathing, and problematic thinking by exploring unconscious emotional patterns rooted in early relationships. Anxiety is understood as a signal of unresolved feelings and learned defenses that once ensured safety. Through the therapeutic relationship, old attachment expectations (like fear of abandonment or rejection) emerge and are gently examined. Experiencing consistent attunement helps revise internal models of self and others. Over time, increased emotional awareness and tolerance reduce anxiety at its source, leading to more secure relationships and lasting change beyond symptom management.
