Integrative Therapy

Integrative therapy is the integration of elements from different schools of psychotherapy in the treatment of a client. An integrative therapist will first assess their client and then match proven treatment techniques to their unique situation. As it is a highly individualized approach, integrative therapy can be used to treat any number of issues, including depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. Research has shown that tailoring therapy to the individual client can enhance treatment effectiveness. Think this approach might be right for you?

CBT is great but doesn't solve everything. I have learned and practice many different styles of treatment. I think of them as parts in a tool box that I can pull out depending on what the patient presents with. I regularly utilize attachment theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic concepts, strategic therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and positive psychology.

One of my favorite approaches working integratively is using "parts work therapy". If there is trauma, this approach will work to integrate the scattered, disorganized and disowned parts of the self; identifying parts that are overwhelming, silent, frightened, bossy and dominant. By embracing and exploring rather than rejecting and denying our parts, we find a safe inner world free of enemies.

Every person has their own unique experiences, the way in which they interact with others, and perspective on life. Therefore, therapy should reflect the uniqueness of the individual/couple/family and be tailored to their needs. Integrative therapy provides the client access to a variety of different models and methods that best suits the context of issues presented to the therapist. The effectiveness of therapy relies on the collaboration between the client and their therapist.

— Carisa Marinucci, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Las Vegas, NV

Each client has unique needs and responds to different styles. I use an integrated, trauma-informed, person-centered approach to get to know you including your counseling goals, values, strengths, learning styles, and needs as a client. I then tie in modalities such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART - somatic, eye movements), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and more.
