Cognitive/Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This widely used approach focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps clients understand how their thoughts influence their emotions and behaviors. By replacing irrational or harmful thoughts with more rational ones and implementing behavioral changes, CBT aims to alleviate symptoms and improve mental well-being

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

This modality is rooted in the idea of self-compassion and aims to help individuals develop a kinder and more compassionate relationship with themselves. It emphasizes understanding and managing self-criticism and shame. CFT is particularly beneficial for those dealing with issues of self-esteem, self-nurturing, self-worth, and self-compassion

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):

EMDR is a specialized therapy designed to alleviate the symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves guided bilateral eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while processing traumatic memories. EMDR helps individuals reprocess traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional impact and allowing for healing.

Existential/Humanistic Therapy

Existential and Humanistic therapies focus on the client’s unique experience of the world and their search for meaning and purpose in life. These approaches encourage self-exploration, self-acceptance, and personal growth. They emphasize the importance of authenticity, responsibility, and choice in shaping one’s life.

Jungian Therapy

Jungian therapy, based on the teachings of Carl Jung, explores the depths of the unconscious mind and the role of archetypes in one’s psyche. It aims to foster self-awareness, individuation, and personal transformation. Jungian therapy can be particularly valuable for those interested in exploring their dreams, symbolism, and deeper layers of consciousness.

Multicultural Therapy

Multicultural therapy recognizes and respects the cultural, ethnic, and diversity-related factors that influence a client’s experience and perspective. Dr. Matt incorporates cultural sensitivity and competence to ensure that therapy is culturally relevant and respectful of your background and values

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy delves into the client’s unconscious processes, childhood experiences, and relational patterns. It aims to uncover unresolved conflicts and promote self-awareness and insight. By understanding the influence of the past on the present, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors.
