Therapeutic Modalities

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a non-pathologizing, evidence-based psychotherapy modality, which views life difficulties as protective and wounded inner parts reacting and aims to transform, empower, and heal through accessing and understanding them.

Client-Centered Therapy

Pioneered by Carl Rogers in early 1940s, this evidence-based psychotherapy modality is client-guided (vis-à-vis clinician-guided) and it helps clients become aware and find their best solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy modality, which provides clients opportunity to become self-aware and alter unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness practices include breathing, grounding, body scan, and meditation to bring focus on here and now. They are evidence-based interventions to alleviate many mental health symptoms.

Existential Therapy

Derived from various philosophers’ works on existentialism, this therapeutic approach emphasizes on free will, self-determination, and the search for meaning of life, sometimes beyond mental health symptoms.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT is a short-term focused evidence-based modality to focus on constructing solutions instead of analyzing problems.
