Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors focusing on the interaction among thoughts, emotions, and actions. In a CBT session, we challenge unhelpful thoughts, explore triggers, while also applying more practical tools like relaxation techniques, goal setting, and behavioral experiments to build healthier coping patterns.

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing gentle, nonjudgmental awareness to the present moment - our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. We are learning to accept them as they are, and in this way we cultivate more calm and clarity. In a therapy session, we might practice mindfulness through deep, guided breathing, body scans, or noticing thoughts as they come and go, helping you stay grounded and connected to the here and now. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process and heal from distressing memories and trauma by reducing their emotional impact. In an EMDR session, we focus on specific memories and use bilateral stimulation (activating both brain hemispheres) - such as guided eye movements or tapping - to help reprocess and properly integrate the memory.
