Therapeutic Modalities and Frameworks
01.
Grief and trauma work involves the emotional and psychological process of understanding, expressing, and healing from significant loss or distressing experiences.
​
Grief work focuses on coping with loss such as the death of a loved one, a relationship ending, or major life changes by acknowledging pain, processing emotions, and finding ways to integrate the loss into one’s life.
​
Trauma work addresses the lasting impact of overwhelming or harmful events. It helps individuals safely explore memories, regulate emotional responses, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust.
​
Both forms of work include therapeutic approaches that involve talk therapy, mindfulness, body-based practices, and creative expression. The goal is not to foster resilience, self-understanding, and the ability to move forward with greater emotional balance and tools to support you through navigating your grief.
02.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by helping the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they become less emotionally charged and no longer feel overwhelming. This process helps the brain "unstick" and integrate the memory in a healthier way. EMDR is especially effective for PTSD, but it's also used for anxiety, grief, and other emotional challenges.
03.
This approach views the mind as made up of different "parts," each with its own feelings, roles, and perspectives. These parts such as inner critics, protectors, or wounded child parts often develop in response to life experiences, especially trauma. It's a gentle, respectful way to explore your inner world and create deep, lasting change.
04.
This approach is a humanistic approach to counseling that focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. This approach believes that you are the expert on your own life, and with the right support, you have the inner resources to grow, heal, and make meaningful changes.
05.
This approach is a type of psychotherapy that has a focus on working towards the ability to be present, open up to difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action aligned with your values. Instead of trying to eliminate painful emotions or thoughts, ACT teaches you to accept them as a natural part of life, while focusing on what truly matters to you.
06.
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) is a structured, evidence-based approach to therapy that helps individuals understand and transform emotional patterns in their relationships. EFT focuses on identifying and changing negative cycles of interaction, often rooted in attachment needs for safety, connection, and love. Through guided emotional exploration, clients learn to express their deeper feelings, respond more openly, and build secure, supportive bonds. EFT is widely used for couples, but it can also be applied to individuals and families to promote healing, strengthen relationships, and enhance emotional well-being.
