Evidence-based practices
Services
Exposure and Response Prevention
ERP is a first-line treatment for OCD involving guided exposure to triggers while resisting compulsive behaviors. Our therapists use this evidence-based approach to help clients reduce symptoms and regain control over their lives through structured, gradual interventions.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR addresses PTSD and trauma through multi-modal techniques that process distressing memories without requiring detailed verbal discussion. This evidence-based therapy helps clients achieve emotional regulation and resolution of traumatic experiences through bilateral stimulation and cognitive restructuring.
Couples Counseling
Specialized couples therapy using Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy approaches. These evidence-based modalities help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional bonds through structured interventions grounded in attachment theory and relationship research.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT addresses depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions through structured skill-building and cognitive restructuring. Our therapists use this gold-standard approach to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies for long-term emotional wellness.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
ART combines elements of EMDR with visualization techniques to treat PTSD, complicated grief, and depression. This innovative evidence-based approach helps clients process distressing memories and develop positive mental imagery through guided eye movements and cognitive restructuring techniques.
