Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective group of evidenced-based treatments that places an emphasis on helping individuals learn to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions and behavior. In therapy, CBT is especially effective for addressing anxiety and relationship issues. For those dealing with anxiety, CBT helps individuals recognize and reduce the influence of irrational fears or catastrophic thinking that fuel anxious responses. Techniques such as gradual exposure, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness practices equip clients with tools to confront and manage anxiety in healthier ways. For relational issues, CBT can help individuals break out of unproductive interaction cycles by recognizing their own role in communication and reaction patterns. By identifying and shifting these dynamics, clients can foster more meaningful and harmonious relationships.
Internal Family Systems Skills
Our clinicians use Internal Family Systems (IFS) Skills to help each client get in contact with various internal parts, each with their own perspective and purpose. Through the transformative lens of IFS informed therapy, we guide our clients on a journey of self-discovery and healing, helping them to navigate the complexities of their inner world with compassion, insight, and validation to access self-energy.
Angie is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their inner landscapes, cultivate self-awareness, and foster greater harmony and integration within themselves. Whether you're seeking to heal past wounds, manage difficult emotions, or enhance your overall well-being, Angie is here to accompany you on your path towards healing and personal growth.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses a mix of acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility.
ACT especially illuminates the ways that language entangles clients into futile attempts to wage war against their own inner lives. Through metaphors and experiential exercises clients learn how to make healthy contact with thoughts, feelings, memories, and physical sensations that have been feared and avoided.
Clients gain the skills to better understand and accept these events, develop greater clarity about personal values, and find a new ease as they make desired changes in their behavior and lives.
