Approaches

Body-Oriented Psychotherapy (Core Evolution®)

An integrative, embodiment-focused approach that works with body, mind, and feelings as one system. Early experiences shape not only how we think, but how we hold ourselves — and these physical patterns often outlast our understanding of them. Sessions combine conversation with present-moment body awareness, so change can happen in the whole system. Core Evolution® is a trauma-informed, mindfulness-centered modality recognized by the European Association for Body-Psychotherapy (EABP).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people understand how thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors influence one another. By identifying unhelpful patterns and learning new ways of responding, many people find lasting relief from emotional distress. CBT is practical, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Together, we explore what is keeping you stuck and develop strategies that can help you make meaningful changes both in and outside of therapy. CBT is particularly effective for anxiety, depression, stress, panic, OCD, and many other mental health concerns.

Creative Arts Therapy (Dramatherapy-Informed)

A form of therapy that combines talking with gentle creative approaches, including play, art, music, and imagination. Some creative arts therapies are rooted in Dramatherapy, using storytelling and metaphor, but sessions are kept simple and accessible and don’t rely on you being “creative.”

This approach can be especially helpful when things feel hard to put into words, offering different ways to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Sessions are collaborative and client-led, and can be either conversational or include creative elements, depending on what feels most helpful for you.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

A research-based couples approach developed by Sue Johnson, grounded in attachment science. EFT looks at the negative cycle couples get caught in — pursue and withdraw, protest and shut down — and helps partners see the longing and fear underneath it. The goal is not better arguing techniques, but restored emotional connection and safety.

Practitioners: Andrea (EFT-informed)

Existential Psychotherapy

Existential psychotherapy is a reflective approach that explores the deeper questions of what it means to be human. It focuses on themes such as identity, meaning, freedom, relationships, loss, and the choices we make throughout our lives. Rather than viewing emotional struggles simply as symptoms to eliminate, existential therapy invites us to understand what our experiences may be telling us about our values, needs, and way of living. Together, we explore how you can move toward a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who you are. Existential psychotherapy can be especially helpful during periods of transition, uncertainty, grief, relationship challenges, or when life simply feels disconnected from what matters most.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard psychological treatment for OCD and is also highly effective for many anxiety disorders and phobias. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety, but to help you build confidence that you can tolerate uncertainty and discomfort without relying on avoidance or compulsive behaviors. In ERP, we gradually and collaboratively face feared situations while resisting the habits or rituals that keep anxiety going. Over time, your brain learns that anxiety naturally rises and falls, and that the feared outcome is often less likely, or more manageable, than it feels in the moment. ERP is always tailored to your pace and goals. It is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps people regain freedom from the patterns that anxiety and OCD can create.

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy developed from decades of research on what helps relationships succeed. Rather than focusing only on conflict, it helps couples strengthen friendship, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a deeper emotional connection. In therapy, we work together to better understand your relationship's strengths and challenges while learning practical skills for managing conflict, repairing difficult moments, and supporting one another more effectively. Sessions are tailored to your unique relationship rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. The Gottman Method can help couples who want to improve communication, recover from conflict or betrayal, strengthen intimacy, or simply build a healthier, more resilient relationship.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Rooted in present-moment awareness, mindfulness-based approaches help you develop a more grounded and compassionate relationship with yourself – noticing thoughts and emotions without judging them and meeting them with curiosity instead. Now among the well-researched approaches in modern psychology, with evidence for stress, depression and emotional regulation.

Parts Work (IFS & Somatic Parts Work)

Based on Internal Family Systems (Richard Schwartz) and somatic parts work (Arielle Schwartz), this approach understands the psyche as made up of different inner parts — the inner critic, the protector, the part that keeps everything under control. Rather than fighting these parts, we get to know them: what they protect, what they fear, and what they need. Combined with body awareness, this helps soften inner conflict and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Relational Life Therapy (RLT)

Developed by Terrence Real, RLT is a direct, practical couples approach that looks at the positions partners take with each other — one-up and one-down, grandiosity and shame — and how these patterns block real intimacy. RLT combines honest feedback with skill-building, helping each partner see their own part in the dynamic and change it.

Practitioners: Andrea (RLT-informed)

Somatic & Yoga-Based Practices

The body holds what the mind sometimes cannot yet articulate, hence it is important for long-lasting growth to view yourself as a whole system. Sessions can incorporate breathwork, movement and body-based practices alongside talk therapy. Research is currently growing, with emerging studies exploring yoga and meditation as promising approaches for conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, burnout and depression.

Unified Protocol (UP)

The Unified Protocol (UP) is an evidence-based approach that helps people better understand and respond to difficult emotions. Rather than focusing on a single diagnosis, such as anxiety or depression, it targets the emotional patterns that many difficulties have in common.Together, we explore how emotions, thoughts, physical sensations, and behaviors interact, and learn practical skills for responding to them in new ways. This often includes gradually facing situations that have been avoided, developing greater emotional awareness, and reducing the cycle of fear and avoidance.The Unified Protocol is particularly effective for anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, panic, phobias, and other emotional difficulties. It is a flexible, structured approach that can be tailored to each person's unique experiences and goals.
