Approach Description: EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy method that uses a technique called "dual attention stimulus" to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Therapists often use eye movements to facilitate bilateral stimulation. These eye movements mimic the period of sleep referred to as rapid eye movement or REM sleep, and this portion of sleep is frequently considered to be the time when the mind processes the recent events in the person’s life. This helps the brain reprocess the trapped memories in such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Therapists often use EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect.

IFS - Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts with the guidance of a trained IFS therapist. IFS creates both inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self-Energy and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based treatment modality that helps people look at their unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving and to replace these unhelpful strategies with more beneficial thinking patterns and behaviors. This approach helps people cope better with the challenges of life by recognizing distorted beliefs and gaining a better understanding of the behavior and motivations of others.
