EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a structured approach that helps you process and heal from past traumas or distressing experiences. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help reprocess these memories, so they lose their intense emotional impact. This can help you feel less triggered, more in control, and better able to move forward.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions, helping clients identify and change negative thought patterns. Through structured sessions and collaborative “homework,” CBT has proven effective in treating issues like depression and anxiety in a relatively short time.

Culturally sensitive therapists provide therapy that respects and understands the diverse values, practices, and beliefs of people from different backgrounds.

Strength-based therapy is a positive counseling approach that focuses on your strengths and resources rather than weaknesses. By building on your best qualities and resilience, it fosters a more positive outlook and helps set realistic expectations for yourself and others.

Multicultural awareness in counseling involves understanding and respecting the diverse values, experiences, and lifestyles of minority groups. It acknowledges differences in race, culture, religion, gender, and more, allowing counselors to support clients without imposing their own perspectives.

Psychodynamic therapy, evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis, focuses on bringing unconscious thoughts to conscious awareness to gain insight and resolve conflicts. It is shorter than traditional psychoanalysis and emphasizes the therapist-client relationship to understand the client’s broader relational patterns.
