Evidence-based approaches
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic Therapy. Explores the older patterns and unconscious dynamics underneath the surface behavior. Slower than skills-based work, deeper on the questions of why you reach for the thing you reach for.
Solution-focused
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Spends less time on the why and more on what already works, then does more of that on purpose.
Faith-based
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
