Family Therapy
Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps family members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and understand family dynamics. The goal is to identify and address relationship patterns that may be causing distress or affecting the mental health of individuals within the family.
Play Therapy
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counseling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders, including depression and anxiety.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy, also known as one-on-one therapy, psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is
a mental health treatment where a client meets with a trained therapist in a confidential setting. The therapy is personalized to the individual's specific needs, addressing personal experiences, goals, and struggles.
This type of therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. While the therapist provides guidance, the client is the primary focus, working collaboratively to achieve personal growth and improved mental well-being.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is the process of using yoga's tools—physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and lifestyle adjustments—to help an individual address specific physical, mental, or emotional health issues, working one-on-one with a trained yoga therapist to create a customized healing plan. It goes beyond a general yoga class by providing an individualized and comprehensive approach to managing symptoms, preventing illness, improving function, and enhancing overall well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Solution-focused therapy, sometimes called "brief therapy," focuses on what clients would like to achieve through therapy rather than on their troubles or mental health issues. The therapist will help the client envision a desirable future, and then map out the small and large changes necessary for the client to undergo to realize their vision. The therapist will seize on any successes the client experiences, to encourage them to build on their strengths rather than dwell on their problems or limitations.
