Our approach
And here’s how we work.
In the Studio
What that looks like, together.
So many kinds of therapy. So many acronyms.
We get it, it can be confusing. Here’s what we offer, in plain language.
Narrative Therapy
A non-pathologizing, social justice-oriented approach. This includes how discrimination, oppression, inequality and other societal-level forces/systems contribute to mental health at the individual level. We will be supporting and working with you to question and deconstruct the narratives of the problems you have and move towards embracing and enriching the preferred stories of where you want to be.
Art Therapy
Art therapy goes beyond words, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions through creativity. It helps build self-awareness, express emotions, boost confidence, and manage stress. As you tap into your creativity, your artwork can reveal personal insights tied to your life experiences. Our art therapists on the team blend both traditional talk therapy and art therapy as an option if you are open to it!
Anti-Oppressive Therapy
Racism, colonialism, ableism and poverty live in our bodies. We name power in the room, including our own. In hard moments, we turn to you and the people you trust first. No one is free until we are all free.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy where bilateral stimulation (of eye movements or tapping movements) can help you process a disturbing incident - reducing the vividness and emotion associated with the traumatic incidents.
Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT™️)
EDIT is a person-centered approach that integrates practical, compassion, and mindfulness exercises, Health At Every Size principles, and collaborative efforts to find ways to advocate and take up space. This approach is especially important in a time when diet culture and 'wellness culture' often go unchallenged for their collective impact on us.
Intersectional Trauma-Informed Therapy
Healing is about reconnection to our identity and community. We recognize that our experiences of trauma are socialized, that they are shaped by our unique identities and the social contexts. We strive to work with values aligned with racial and gender justice, disability justice, fat liberation and solidarity.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
A practical, emotion-focused, and highly effective approach based on 4 decades of research as an aid for couples therapy. This approach can help couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams and with practical interventions.
Intergenerational Healing
Some wounds are older than we are. We recognize that our wellbeing doesn’t just stem from personal context. Wounds can come from historical, cultural, and persistent trauma. We help folks access ancestral wisdom to process and heal from intergenerational wounds.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic experiencing is a body-centered approach to treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Rather than focusing only on thoughts or emotions somatic experiencing support us to come back into our bodies: incorporating movement, mindfulness, breath work, felt sense and embodied inquiry.
