Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches
We use proven therapeutic methods tailored to each client’s needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Clients learn to:
• Identify unhelpful thinking patterns
• Develop healthier perspectives
• Build practical coping strategies
CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional regulation.
Solution-Focused Therapy
This approach emphasizes strengths and progress by:
• Identifying what is already working
• Setting clear, achievable goals
• Creating actionable steps toward change
It is especially helpful for clients seeking practical, forward-focused support.
Play Therapy
For younger children, play therapy provides a developmentally appropriate way to:
• Express emotions
• Process experiences
• Build self-regulation and problem-solving skills
Play-based techniques create a safe and engaging therapeutic environment.
