    Mindfulness-Based Therapy

    is a form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that utilizes “anchoring” techniques - breathing and relaxation techniques, use of senses and focus on the body – to cultivate present-moment awareness and to redirect from anxiety and depressive thoughts. Mindfulness is also used to strengthen self-compassion and personal self-worth.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    is a goal-oriented approach to therapy that focuses on a person’s pattern of thinking, responding and behavior that is contributing to their emotional distress. The goal of CBT is to change patterns of thinking behind people’s difficulties, and in turn, change the way they feel. CBT utilizes skills and techniques to be practiced outside of the session to help reduce symptoms and redirect distorted or negative thinking.

    Motivational Interviewing

    is a client-centered therapy approach that elicits behavior change by helping clients explore barriers to change and resolve ambivalence. This therapy approach focuses on the client’s internal motivation and desire for change.
