Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)

DDP utilizes an understanding of attachment, intersubjective experience, and developmental trauma to help children deepen their capacity for close relationships, utilize those relationships to build regulation, and better understand their own narratives. DDP resources caregivers and privileges this central relationship.

We will work together to better understand challenging behaviors that don't make much sense and connect with our children's inner world. Some common goals in DDP include helping kids to feel more safe and secure, reducing controlling behavior, regulating feelings more easily, managing stress better, and increasing understanding into emotional experiences.  

Mindfulness based therapy

Integrating mindfulness into treatment or explicitly cultivating a mindfulness practice creates changes in the structure of our brain and can improve our attention, focus, problem solving, emotion regulation, self-compassion, attunement and connection to self and others, and even alters the way the brain responds to stress.

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

AEDP is rooted in a belief that even in our most difficult moments we have the seeds of strength, adaptation, and transformation. The mode of working explicitly creates an environment of safety and security from which we process and regulate emotional ad relational experiences to heal and thrive. 

We work together in the moment to feel and deal with difficult emotions and experiences using your strengths and resources to foster resilience. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT utilizes an active and collaborative therapeutic relationship to work on issues in the here-and-now. We work to better understand how the ways in which we think about things influence our feelings and our actions. We identify common thoughts or stories we tell ourselves that aren't accurate or helpful to us. We also learn skills and strategies that may help to reduce anxiety and increase well-being.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma.
