Guiding New Beginnings

​

Core Methods

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies that support healthier thinking and more intentional choices.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Encourages mindfulness, self-compassion, and alignment with personal values. ACT helps clients make space for difficult emotions while committing to actions that move them toward a meaningful and fulfilling life.

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Explores emotional patterns and attachment needs to help clients build stronger, more secure relationships, both with themselves and with others. EFT promotes emotional safety, trust, and authentic connection.

• Mindfulness-Based Techniques

  • Integrate breathing, grounding, and present-moment awareness to reduce stress and enhance emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices help clients slow down, reconnect, and respond rather than react.

• Strengths-Based Perspective

  • Highlights inner strength and innate capabilities rather than deficits. This approach helps clients identify abilities that can serve as anchors during times of transition or distress.

• Person-Centered Approach

  • Centers the therapeutic relationship on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Clients are viewed as the experts of their own experiences, and therapy progresses at the pace that feels right for them.
