Therapeutic Techniques
To support deeper healing beyond traditional talk therapy, we integrate a range of evidence-based and somatic approaches tailored to your needs. These include:
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapy that uses bilateral eye movements or gentle alternating taps to help the brain reprocess distressing memories and experiences. By working directly with the way memories are stored in the brain, ART is designed to reduce emotional distress more quickly than traditional talk therapy—without requiring detailed retelling of traumatic events.
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that uses guided eye movements to help you reprocess painful memories, reduce emotional distress, and foster resilience.
TIST is a therapy designed to help you manage overwhelming emotions and behaviors stemming from trauma. By enhancing self-regulation, reducing dissociation, and building a sense of safety and control, TIST is especially effective for individuals with complex trauma or attachment-related challenges.
Art Therapy uses creative expression as a pathway to healing, insight, and emotional processing. Through drawing, painting, collage, writing, and other creative modalities, individuals can explore thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to access through words alone. No artistic experience is required—the focus is on self-expression, self-discovery, and healing rather than artistic skill.
IFS is a deeply transformative, compassionate approach to healing where you will explore the different 'parts' within yourself that may carry pain, fear, shame, or assume protective roles. By fostering a deeper connection to your core Self—the calm, wise, and compassionate center within all of us—IFS helps reduce inner conflict, heal emotional wounds, and create lasting change.
Somatic / body-centered psychotherapy recognizes that trauma is held not only in the mind, but also in the body. By increasing awareness of physical sensations, nervous system responses, movement, breath, and embodied experience, this approach helps promote regulation, release survival patterns, and restore a greater sense of safety, vitality, and deep connection.
Mindfulness-based therapy incorporates practices like meditation, breath work, and body awareness to reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and improve overall well-being.

Our Core Principles
Trauma-informed care
Trauma impacts every part of life. We prioritize safety, emotional regulation, and respect while addressing complex, intergenerational, and identity-based trauma.
Culturally-responsive care
Your background, values, and lived experiences are central to your healing journey. We are committed to supporting immigrant and marginalized communities.
Creativity as healing
When words aren’t enough, we use creative expression—sound healing, mindfulness, movement, and visual arts such as drawing, painting, collaging—to foster safety, joy, and connection to self and others.
From Survival Mode to Thriving: A 3-Stage Process
How do we get you from being in a state of chronic overwhelm and survival mode to feeling more like yourself and living a more fulfilling life? This happens in three stages.
Stage 1: Creating a Supportive Environment
In the first stage, it's our job to create an environment for you in which growth is possible—an environment that is culturally responsive, anti-racist, and authentic.
Stage 2: Understanding Your Symptoms
This opens the door to the next stage, where we begin to get curious about you and understand how your symptoms once served you.
For example, in an environment of abuse or neglect, depression can serve us by making sure that we stay numb to the overwhelming pain. As we understand the purpose of symptoms—the function of our symptoms—we can then reach into our toolbox and start experimenting with other ways to meet those needs.
Some of the tools we'll use in this stage involve talking, using the language of psychotherapy. Others don’t involve talking at all.
Stage 3: Exploring New Ways to Heal
Finally, in stage three, as you feel more connected to yourself—to your parts, to your values—the inherent aliveness that you have, the creativity, the courage, and the compassion that are built into who you are, emerge naturally.
Our 3-Step Process Toward Healing
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about creating space for growth, safety, and self-discovery. This video walks through a three-stage process to help you move from overwhelm to a more fulfilling life.
