Therapeutic Modalities

Individual Psychotherapy

At the heart of therapy, is the relationship between therapist and patient, wherein the patient can feel safe, free from judgment, understood, and validated. Therapy allows patients to learn more about themselves and understand unconscious dynamics that contribute to problems in their lives. Individuals can then apply this insight toward making changes in the areas that led them to seek therapy in the first place.

Therapy emphasizes the development of life skills, resilience, personal boundaries, and rational thinking. Within a safe therapeutic space, individuals begin to integrate these concepts to form stronger, healthier connections with others. 

Group therapy is a process of understanding more about yourself and others in a safe environment. In group, you will have the opportunity to explore patterns of thinking and behaving that closely mirror how you relate to others in your life.

Participating in group therapy can result in several benefits to you:

  • Understanding more about yourself and your family system

  • Identifying and exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that hold you back

  • Improvement of communication skills to enhance interpersonal relationships

  • Increased awareness of how one’s behaviors impact relationships

  • A sense of validation and support among peers

  • Development of coping skills

  • Improved relationships with others

Couples | Family Therapy

Couples therapy can benefit partners who are facing problems or changes in their relationship, as well as partners looking to further enhance their understanding of how to sustain a healthy relationship. Couples therapy aims to enhance satisfaction in intimate relationships by addressing conflict resolution, communication issues, and managing various changes and transitions within the couple, such as family planning, caregiving, and separation/divorce.

Family therapy is a lot like group therapy, in that individual members work to understand how their actions affect the family as a whole, and work to resolve unhealthy patterns of relating to one another. In family therapy, individuals learn how to support each other with the goal of restoring family relationships and rebuilding a family system that is healthy and promotes the overall well-being of its members.
