Treatment Approaches

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps individuals quickly resolve trauma and other mental health issues by replacing distressing images in the mind with positive ones. Using guided eye movements and elements from traditional therapies like Gestalt and Guided Imagery, ART reduces symptoms such as anxiety, PTSD, and depression—often in just one session. Clients do not need to discuss the details of their trauma, making the process less emotionally overwhelming and more empowering.

Psychodynamic Therapy is a type of talk therapy that helps people understand how their past experiences, especially from childhood, influence the way they think, feel, and act today. It focuses on exploring thoughts and feelings that might be hidden or not fully understood. By becoming more aware of these deeper patterns, people can make positive changes, improve their relationships, and feel more in control of their lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps people manage difficult thoughts and emotions by encouraging psychological flexibility. Rather than trying to eliminate distress, ACT encourages individuals to accept their inner experiences, commit to their personal values, and take meaningful action. Through mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and values-based goal setting, ACT supports individuals in living a rich, purposeful life—even in the presence of pain or discomfort.

Humanistic and Existential Therapy are approaches to therapy that focus on helping people live more meaningful, authentic lives. Humanistic therapy emphasizes personal growth, self-awareness, and the belief that everyone has the potential to change and grow in positive ways. It focuses on the present moment and encourages self-acceptance and self-expression. Existential therapy helps people explore big life questions—like purpose, freedom, responsibility, and mortality—and how these impact their choices and emotions. It supports individuals in finding meaning, even during difficult times.

Both approaches view each person as unique and capable of making choices to shape their own life.
