THERAPY APPROACHES:

ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a contemporary form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that focuses on mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies to help us live more fully and in line with our values. ACT encourages us to embrace our thoughts and feelings without judgment, and to commit to taking action that align with our deepest values. This approach strengthens psychological flexibility—the ability to adapt to life’s challenges while staying committed to what truly matters.

Unified Protocol COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (UP CBT)

The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP CBT) is a comprehensive therapy approach designed to effectively address a wide range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and related disorders. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on specific diagnoses, UP CBT targets underlying emotion regulation difficulties that drive emotional disorders. By targeting these core processes, UP CBT aims to bring about lasting improvements in psychological well-being.

Exposure Therapy & Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals confront and overcome their fears and anxieties in a safe and supportive environment. ERP is a highly effective treatment approach that involves gradually facing feared situations, objects, or memories that trigger anxiety or distress in order to improve distress tolerance, and gain freedom from patterns of fear and avoidance,

MindfulNESS & Self-Compassion

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an integrative approach developed to cultivate self-kindness, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. MSC combines mindfulness and self-compassion practices to enhance emotional resilience and foster greater self-acceptance.

Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills

Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills are essential tools that can help us navigate and improve our interactions and relationships with others. Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills are practical strategies designed to enhance communication, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. These skills can empower us to express our needs and desires effectively while maintaining respect for ourselves and others.
