Therapeutic Methodologies

EMDR Therapy for trauma treatment.

EMDR stands for eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing. It was a system developed by Francine Shapiro to help people relieve themselves of emotional distress, trauma, and especially PTSD. Clients do not even need to verbalize their trauma to experience the benefits of EMDR treatment. EMDR is especially helpful for those who feel that they have exhausted talk therapy and need something more.

Imago Therapy for relational work.

Imago therapy was developed with the goal to help partners reconnect, heal, and grow in their relationships. Imago hones in on partners’ childhood wounds and helps them repair and grow past them within the relationship. It offers partners very practical and concrete interventions that they can immediately apply in their daily lives to improve their relationships through the fostering of safety and security.

Narrative Therapy for Empowerment.

Narrative therapy, as the name suggests, focuses on your story. It helps you find meaning in your life and purpose in your interactions. It shifts focus from pathologizing you to empowering you. It helps you externalize your problems, deconstruct your issues, and identify dominant narratives. Most importantly, narrative therapy gives you the power back in your story. You become your own agent of change.

Inner Healer wisdom for Integration.

Inner healing wisdom is a modality that was developed by MAPS in their work around psychedelic integration. This approach to therapy trusts the patient’s intrinsic ability to grow and heal. Much like the body heals knows how to heal its own wounds, so too does the mind have the capacity to heal itself with some support. In trusting the client’s inner healer, the therapist works with the client to explore what comes up and the direction it takes.
