    Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    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.

    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.

    Person-Centered Therapy

    uses a non-authoritative talk-therapy approach that encourages the client to take the lead in the session and in the discussion as a way of cultivating self-discovery and finding their own solutions to change. The role of the therapist is to serve as an empathetic facilitator, acknowledging and validating a client’s emotions without trying to lead or change the discussion.
