The primary approaches we utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In brief, CBT explores how our thoughts/beliefs, feelings and choices influence and reinforce each other; by changing one domain, we can change the others. ACT focuses on building acceptance for the things we can’t change, and increasing workable choices that are consistent with our values.

Both of these approaches utilize Exposure Therapy (which goes by multiple acronyms: ET, PE, ERP). Exposure helps people face their fears, build resilience for uncomfortable experiences, reduce unhelpful coping styles, and increase a lifestyle consistent with courage and passion. Therapy should ultimately get you closer to living a fulfilling and enriching life. It is difficult to get there if our life-choices are shaped more by what we are trying to avoid, than by what we are trying to gain. We would be excited to help you live a life defined by meaning, value, passion and courage!
