Depth Therapy
Depth therapy encompasses many approaches to psychotherapy, all based on the important role of the unconscious in human life. Included in the unconscious is a plurality of perspectives stemming from your unique interpersonal, sociocultural, and spiritual influences. Depth therapy aims to uncover these unconscious forces, understand how they influence your identity and functioning, and shift your engagement with yourself and others into a newly integrated state. Your relationship with your depth therapist will privilege expressions from your personal unconscious, including difficulties in your personal or work life, your engagement with art and culture, your dreams and fantasies, and your feelings and behavior in the therapeutic relationship itself.

Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy that provides a clear and empowering method of healing. It makes sense for a wide array of people and is especially powerful if you’re struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, inner conflicts, or childhood trauma. Stemming from multiplicity (the theory that the human mind is made of many distinct parts) IFS allows you to deeply understand your thoughts, emotions, somatic sensations, and beliefs through a compassionate lens. Building a trusting relationship with each of these distinct parts of yourself helps you to access and release burdens of shame, guilt, hopelessness, or worthlessness. IFS not only leads to profound healing of historical wounds but also cultivates a deep sense of inner harmony and self-confidence.

Orgonomic Therapy
Orgonomic therapy consists of two main components: character analysis and bodywork. Character analysis is a process of uncovering your habitual reactions that help you to cope but also diminish your ability to experience pleasure, achieve what you want, and simply feel. Bodywork includes direct work on your muscles, assistance with your breathing, and exercises to express emotions.
Together, this holistic approach helps you to break through your armor, restore your natural flow of life energy, and regain the full expression of your true self. This somatic therapy may help you release difficult, deep and chronically held emotions, generate profound insight from deep feeling, expand your emotional awareness and expression, and improve your sexual functioning.

Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy views people as separate from their problems and destructive behaviors. This allows you to get some distance from the difficulties you are facing and helps you to see how what is happening might actually be helping or protecting you more than hurting you. From this new perspective you can feel more empowered to make changes in your thought patterns and behavior and “rewrite” your life story for a future that reflects who you really are, what you are capable of, and what your purpose is, separate from your problems.
Narrative therapy can help you see yourself as having “made a mistake” rather than seeing yourself as bad or inherently flawed. This therapy allows you to be more respectful of your self, rather than place blame or judge yourself harshly. Creating a good narrative can help you to process and clarify what you have experienced in life. This therapy also helps families and romantic relationships rewrite narratives that may be contributing to ongoing relational distress that corrupts relational harmony.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based, short- or long-term psychotherapy that targets current life difficulties rather than focusing on your past. CBT empowers you to change thinking and behavioral patterns by recognizing mental distortions, better understanding the behavior of yourself and others, and more effectively coping with challenges by expanding your communication and calming skills. CBT is an effective tool alone or in combination with other therapies for treating a wide range of symptoms including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), marital problems, disordered eating, and substance use.

Emotion-Focused Therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic, evidence-based approach that helps get beneath the surface of your emotional life. Instead of just managing your feelings, EFT teaches you how to identify, understand, and use your deepest emotions as a helpful guide, not a source of fear. EFT draws primarily on attachment to facilitate the creation of vibrant, secure connections with others and yourself. By fostering a secure attachment bond, you can better understand your interactions with others and your emotional cycles, especially how your past experiences with people created patterns that you might still use today.
Emotions aren't just in your head; they live in your body. By gently tuning into the somatic experience of your feelings (like tension in your chest or a knot in your stomach), you can truly process and transform old attachment wounds. In EFT we work together to uncover the emotional cycles that have kept you stuck, allowing you to build greater emotional security and confidence in your relationships with yourself and others.
