Individual Therapy
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach that was initially developed to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related disorders. EMDR therapy integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and mindfulness practices.
The core principle of EMDR therapy is that traumatic experiences can become "stuck" in the brain's memory networks, causing significant emotional and psychological distress. During EMDR therapy, the therapist guides the client through a series of eye movements, sounds, or taps while focusing on the traumatic memory or related thoughts and sensations. This process is believed to activate the brain's natural information processing system, allowing the traumatic memory to be reprocessed and integrated into more adaptive memory networks.EMDR therapy has been found to be effective in treating PTSD, as well as other conditions such as anxiety, depression, and phobias.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Trauma-Focused Therapy (CBT-T) is a psychotherapeutic approach designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly those with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or related conditions. CBT-T integrates cognitive and behavioral techniques to address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral effects of trauma.
The core principle of CBT-T is that the way a person thinks about and reacts to a traumatic event can affect their emotional and psychological well-being. During CBT-T, the therapist works with the client to identify and challenge negative and unhelpful thoughts and beliefs related to the trauma, while also teaching coping strategies and behavioral skills to manage the resulting distress.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that aims to help individuals create a meaningful and fulfilling life by developing psychological flexibility. It combines mindfulness practices with behavioral strategies and acceptance-based techniques to help individuals accept their thoughts and feelings and take effective action towards their values.
The core principle of ACT is that suffering arises from psychological inflexibility, such as attempts to control or avoid painful thoughts and emotions. ACT helps individuals develop skills to be more accepting of their experiences and to focus on taking action consistent with their values.
Trauma-Informed Mindfulness and Meditation
Trauma-informed mindfulness and meditation refer to the practice of mindfulness and meditation with an understanding of the potential impact of trauma on individuals. It is designed to create a safe and supportive environment for healing and can be helpful in reducing symptoms of trauma, such as anxiety and stress.
Trauma-Informed Yoga
Trauma-informed yoga is a type of yoga practice that recognizes the potential impact of trauma on individuals and seeks to create a safe and supportive environment for healing. It is designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma to build resilience, regulate their emotions, and develop a sense of safety and empowerment. It can be helpful in promoting a sense of safety and well-being, reducing anxiety and stress, and improving emotional regulation and resilience.
