Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) External link

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals navigate life’s challenges by fostering psychological flexibility. ACT encourages patients to embrace their thoughts and feelings while focusing on living a values-driven, meaningful life. This approach combines mindfulness techniques with behavioral strategies to help individuals accept what is beyond their control and commit to actions that align with their core values.

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) External link

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized, evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT helps individuals develop practical tools to manage challenges, improve emotional well-being, and create healthier coping strategies. This structured, goal-oriented therapy is effective for treating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, and more.

  • Interpersonal External link

    Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a time-limited, evidence-based approach that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning to enhance emotional well-being. IPT helps patients identify and address relationship issues, role transitions, grief, and social isolation, which can contribute to mental health concerns. By improving communication, resolving conflicts, and building stronger support systems, IPT helps develop healthier relationships and emotional resilience

  • Mindfulness-based External link

    Mindfulness-Based Therapy is a therapeutic approach that incorporates mindfulness practices to help individuals manage stress, anxiety, and depression. It involves cultivating present-moment awareness, non-judgmental acceptance of thoughts and emotions, and detachment from negative thinking patterns. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and body scanning are commonly used to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.

  • Motivational Interviewing External link

    Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about making positive changes in their lives. By fostering a collaborative and nonjudgmental environment, MI empowers patients to clarify their values, strengthen motivation, and build confidence in their ability to achieve their goals. This approach is particularly effective for addressing behaviors related to health, addiction, and lifestyle changes.
