Modalities Utilized in Session
Feminist
Feminist therapy focuses on the particular challenges and stressors that women face as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression, discrimination,and other factors that threaten their mental health.
A goal of this therapy is to strengthen women in areas such as
assertiveness, communication, relationships, and self-esteem.
Antiracist
Anti-racist counseling acknowledges the dedication to de-colonizing one’s therapy practice, meaning to examine the ways in which white supremacy and white values are perpetuated in the field of counseling along with within my practice. In the counseling setting, I use an anti-racist framework when working with all clients in order to help people process racial trauma, identity related trauma, along with examining areas of oppression and privilege.
Additionally, anti-racistcounseling encompasses advocacy and action when addressing and confronting
implicit and explicit racist ideals, disclosures, and values in the therapy space.
Existential
Existential therapy focuses on unpacking concepts that are universally experienced (like death & loss, freedom, responsibility, and the meaning of life) in an honest, open, and comprehensive manner. This type of therapy helps folkx live more authentically vs superficially, and encourages people to take ownership of their lives in order to find meaning and be fully present.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy utilizes a holistic approach that focuses on free will, human potential, and self discovery. This type of therapy aims to help someone develop a healthy and strong sense of self, explore their thoughts and feelings, find meaning, and build on one’s strengths. This therapy is built around empathy and holding another person with unconditional positive regard.
Internal Family Systems
IFS is a transformative and evidenced based therapeutic model that helps people heal by accessing their wounded, vulnerable, protective, and critical “parts.” In therapy, IFS or “parts work” is centered around uncovering one’s core Self, and learning how to create opportunities for more Self led experiences.
Meaning navigating the world as our true curious, compassionate, and calm self.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of depth psychology in that it involves focusing on the interpretation of mental and emotional processes as well as the role of the ego in psychological functioning and struggle. This therapy also centers around strengthening one’s internal resources so that one can navigate challenges moving forward without the help and support of a therapist. This therapy focuses on uncovering the root of struggles, which oftentimes can lead way to processing traumas and other significant occurrences in childhood as well as across the lifespan.
Mindfulness
A mindfulness-based framework encompasses learning how to stay mentally present in the here-and-now experience by paying close to sensory stimuli and body sensations.
When mindfulness is brought into the counseling setting, the clinician will help guide and teach the client how to use grounding skills, breathing techniques, and other body + cognitive based strategies that assist with bringing a person back into a present moment awareness versus being stuck in one’s head, worrying or planning for the future, or ruminating in the past.
Identity Affirming
Identity Affirming Therapy supports and affirms the expression of an individual’s identity + identities. Identity Affirming therapy also encompasses learning how the complex and delicate interplay of the intersections of identities impact and influence experience. This approach intentionally centers itself around the notion that diversity and individuality are an inherent part of the vibrancy of life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT is an empirically based treatment framework that uses acceptance and mindfulness-based skills along with commitment and behavioral interventions in order to increase psychological flexibility, mitigate avoidance, and tackle fear. ACT also helps people learn how to make healthy contact with thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a compassionate and grounded way.
