Family Systems Theories

Family systems theories are a collection of therapy approaches which apply a systemic lens to clients’ issues so clients can achieve the changes they desire. All humans are profoundly impacted by family relationships. In therapy, we will explore your family dynamics (even if you are doing individual work) to better understand your problems and find a solution!
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), our clinician is trained as a specialist in the application of family systems and in couple and family issues. Click below to learn more about family systems theories.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a specialized approach that is evidence-based and incorporates somatic (body) elements into treatment. It is most often used for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our clinician has completed foundational trainings and continues to attend expert consultation groups in order to provide this therapy to clients with skill.

Person-Centered Approach

Also known as “Client Centered” therapy, the Person-centered approach means that you, as the client, take a leadership role in your healing and in the direction of your treatment. It also means your therapist accepts you, just as you are.
Regardless of the focus of treatment, or clinical theories used, your therapist practices unconditional positive regard — believes the best of you and for you — throughout every session. Click below to learn more about this welcoming, non-judgmental therapeutic stance.

“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard,
I am able to re-perceive my world
in a new way and to go on.”
