• 01 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) +

  CBT is one of the most researched forms of therapy. It's based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected — and that changing unhelpful thought patterns can meaningfully shift how we feel and act. It's structured, practical, and typically goal-focused.

  You like to understand why you think the way you do, and you're ready to do something about it.

• 02 Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) +

  DBT combines CBT with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. It focuses on four core skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It's especially helpful for people who experience intense emotions or struggle in relationships.

  Your emotions feel bigger than other people's, and you're tired of relationships suffering for it.

• 03 Motivational Interviewing +

  Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered approach that helps you explore and resolve ambivalence about change. Rather than telling you what to do, your therapist helps you find your own reasons and motivation for change — making it more meaningful and lasting.

  You know something needs to change but you're not sure you're ready — or you keep starting and stopping.

• 04 Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) +

  ACT helps you build psychological flexibility — the ability to stay present, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and take meaningful action aligned with your values. Rather than fighting what you feel, ACT teaches you to change your relationship with it.

  You've tried to think your way out of how you feel, and it hasn't worked.

• 05 Person-Centered Therapy +

  Person-centered therapy is built on the belief that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist's role is to provide unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuine presence — creating conditions where growth can happen naturally. It's non-directive and deeply respectful of your autonomy.

  You might like this if…

  You don't want to be analyzed or given a plan. You want someone to actually listen.

• 06 Somatic Therapy +

  Somatic therapy recognizes that trauma and stress live in the body, not just the mind. It incorporates awareness of physical sensations, breath, and movement alongside talk therapy. This approach is especially helpful for people who feel disconnected from their bodies or find that talk therapy alone hasn't been enough.

  You might like this if…

  You've done talk therapy before and felt like something was still stuck.

• 07 Narrative Therapy +

  Narrative therapy is based on the idea that we make sense of our lives through stories — and that those stories can be rewritten. It helps you separate yourself from your problems, examine the dominant stories you've been telling about yourself, and discover alternative, more empowering narratives.

  You might like this if…

  You've started to wonder if the story you tell about yourself is actually true.

• 08 Mindfulness-Based Therapy +

  Mindfulness-based approaches integrate present-moment awareness into therapy. Rather than getting caught up in past regrets or future worries, mindfulness helps you observe your thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It's grounding, practical, and increasingly well-supported by research.

  Your mind won't slow down, and even when things are okay, you can't quite be present for it.
