Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals who experience emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, self-harm tendencies, or relationship difficulties.

- Builds emotional regulation skills
- Strengthens interpersonal effectiveness
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialized approach designed to help individuals process and heal from PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. By using guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences, reducing their emotional intensity.
How it helps:

- Reduces emotional distress linked to past experiences
- Restores a sense of safety and emotional balance

Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a trauma-focused therapy that helps individuals struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and performance blocks process deep emotional pain by identifying and targeting “brainspots” in the visual field. These spots are linked to unresolved trauma stored in the brain and body, allowing for deeper emotional healing.
How it helps:
- Accesses and processes deep emotional wounds
- Reduces trauma-related symptoms
- Enhances emotional and physical healing
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a goal-oriented approach that helps individuals seeking quick and effective solutions to specific issues by focusing on strengths and the present moment rather than analyzing past difficulties. This method empowers clients to identify their abilities and build strategies for positive change.
How it helps:
- Focuses on strengths and abilities
- Encourages positive change in a short time
- Builds confidence in problem-solving skills
