Integrative Therapy

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.

Integrative therapy is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different therapeutic methods and theories, tailoring them to meet the unique needs of each individual client. By integrating various techniques, we aim to provide a more comprehensive and flexible treatment. We may incorporate elements from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and other therapeutic approaches, to address clients' emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns holistically.

As an integrative therapist I recognize no one single approach can help everyone. I incorporate aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, DBT, family systems therapy, psychoeducation/socioeducation and more, depending on what will benefit you. My initial training was psychodynamic and since then, I have learned many different modalities to help people heal and grow.

I use a variety of theoretical orientations and treatment modalities in my work with clients. Each person and situation is unique, and I believe that an integrative approach is most effective in working with a diverse group of humans.

I blend methods tailored to your needs. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for changing negative thought patterns, mindfulness techniques to enhance present-moment awareness, and psychodynamic therapy to explore deeper emotional issues. I also incorporate elements of holistic practices like meditation to support your physical and mental well-being. This personalized approach allows us to address your challenges comprehensively, promoting healing and balance.

Integrative therapy is an approach to treatment that involves selecting the techniques from different therapeutic orientations best suited to a client’s particular problem. By tailoring the therapy to the individual, integrative therapists hope to produce the most significant effects. Integrative therapy is not restricted to a particular methodology or school of thought. The goal of this is to improve the efficacy and efficiency of treatment and adapt it to the specific needs of the individual.

I believe therapy should be integrative and catered to your specific needs. I use a variety of therapeutic theories and techniques dependent on your individual goals and needs.

The approach I take with each client is unique to that client's needs. My approach is integrative, which means that, in addition to talk therapy, I incorporate education, mindfulness, movement, breathing exercises, art therapy, sexual health information, and EMDR in my sessions where appropriate. This style reflects my authentic personality, and my love of variety and creativity, and I have found over the years that it serves my clients extremely well.

Pluralistic & integrative is different from "eclectic". It means allowing for a flexible, intentional, careful, individualized integration of different approaches, interventions, techniques, adaptions - depending on the client's preferences, needs, neurotype, & focus in therapy. We co-create a treatment plan with clients, & continue to tailor the work as we go, according to what's working for the client, & changes in their circumstances, comfort level & preferences.

I am able to meet my clients where they are and use a variety of approaches in combination to meet their needs. I recognize there is no one-size-fits all approach to therapy and each person I encounter is an individual with their own individual needs. I am able to successfully bring parts of different approaches that best suit what they need.

While CBT is a great tool, there are outstanding therapies that can supplement CBT and be integrated together. I draw on some techniques from positive psychology, mindfulness, and developmental-behavioral analysis.

Treatment can often aim to see what can be learned and introduced from various perspectives in practice, with this being common with most clients.

I work with a professional and empathetic approach. I consider all behavioral changes that might disrupt the wellbeing process. This session utilizes an integrative blend of psychotherapeutic modalities to help bring a positive lifestyle change.

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques to address the unique needs of my clients. Integrative therapy involves combining different therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan. I have a commitment to working collaboratively with clients, and I am flexible and transparent throughout our work together.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach. One thing most people get wrong is that they don't realize how unique they are. A lot of the work I do is collaboratively painting a clearer picture of who you are, what you've been through, and forging the strength (in a nurturing environment) to wipe your lens clean from distortions that are protective yet limiting.

I'm a lifelong learner, and a well-developed, skillful therapist. In years of professional development, I've received various levels of training in the following modalities: CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, SE, EMDR, NVC, IFS, psychodynamic, and group therapy. I borrow tools and insights from all these therapies and integrate them for my client's benefit with my primary grounding and advanced training in SCT and SAVI, which together offer a broad and deep framework for healing and growth.

I offer an eclectic and integrative therapeutic approach depending on your presenting concerns. Working through a trauma-informed and relationally-based lens, I incorporate evidence-based practices to target your unique needs. The most influential aspect of therapy is the relationship we build, and my number one priority is to be your cheerleader, confidant, and trusted guide as we embark on this journey of healing and growth.

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.
