Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

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.

How it helps:
- Accesses and processes deep emotional wounds
- Reduces trauma-related symptoms
- Enhances emotional and physical healing
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

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
