EVIDENCE-BASED MODALITIES

Depending on your individual needs, preferences, and goals, the following are some of the primary approaches I use.

Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic technique that accesses your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is 90% of the mind and is where all of your feelings, emotions, long-term memory, habits, patterns, beliefs, and behaviors are stored – which makes hypnotherapy so effective. We have direct access to heal your issue at its core. In a recent study, hypnotherapy showed to have a 93% success rate after six sessions compared to behavior therapy and psychoanalysis.

Mindfulness-Based Techniques:  Focused on developing skills and practices that build up your resilience to stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as support your ability to stay present in a compassionate way with whatever emotions and sensations you are experiencing in the moment.

Motivational Interviewing: This is a counseling approach that helps resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities and helps you develop clarity and the internal motivation to make the changes you want to make in your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): This form of therapy is organized around the notion that psychological pain is fundamentally unavoidable. Recognizing that human nature causes us to as a species seek out pleasurable experiences and avoid painful ones, ACT focuses on accepting and leaning in to the discomfort, while living our lives based on our values rather than pleasure seeking or pain avoidance because suppression of feelings and avoidance of problems often leads to increased distress.

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): This therapy provides clients with new skills to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. DBT specifically focuses on providing therapeutic skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT): is a strength-based approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. Unlike other forms of psychotherapy that focus on present problems and past causes, SFBT concentrates on how your current circumstances and future hopes.

Parts Work: It is predicated on the understanding that each individual is not a monolithic entity but rather a dynamic, multifaceted collection of ‘parts’. These parts, each holding its own purpose, perspective, feelings, and memories, are the architects of our behaviors, emotions, and beliefs.

In a perfect world, these parts work together in harmony, maintaining a delicate balance that facilitates well-being and personal growth. However, when these parts fall into conflict with one another, it can lead to a host of issues, ranging from anxiety and depression to self-sabotage and addiction.

Through Parts Therapy we can facilitate a dialogue between these conflicting parts, allowing them to express their concerns, understand their motivations, and ultimately, find common ground. This process not only resolves inner conflict but also fosters harmonious self-integration, enabling individuals to live more fulfilling, authentic lives.
