Psychodynamic Therapy
This therapy goes deep into your past to understand how childhood experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns affect your current life. Psychodynamic therapy helps uncover and process unresolved conflicts, traumas, or negative beliefs you might not even be aware of. For BIPOC clients, this approach can include exploring how systemic racism, cultural identity, and intergenerational trauma shape your sense of self and relationships. The goal is self-awareness and emotional freedom through understanding your internal world.

Somatic Experiencing:
A body-focused therapy designed to help you release and heal from trauma that’s stored in your body. When we go through difficult or overwhelming experiences, our nervous system can get "stuck," holding onto physical sensations of stress, fear, or tension. Somatic Experiencing helps you tune into these sensations—like tightness in your chest, muscle tension, or racing heart—and gently release them. It’s a great way to process trauma or anxiety when words alone don’t feel like enough. For BIPOC clients, this can be especially important for healing racial trauma, as it acknowledges the mind-body connection in response to chronic stress, oppression, and ancestral pain.
-
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
A therapy that helps you understand and work with the different "parts" of yourself. Imagine that inside you are various voices or perspectives—like your inner critic, your vulnerable side, or your protector. IFS helps you get to know these parts, heal the wounded ones, and integrate them into a more balanced, compassionate you. For BIPOC individuals, IFS can also explore how your cultural identity and family history shape these parts and your internal world.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
ACT is about learning how to accept uncomfortable feelings—like anxiety or sadness—without letting them control your life. Instead of fighting your emotions, ACT helps you make space for them while you focus on what really matters to you—your values. It’s not about “fixing” your emotions but finding a way to live a meaningful life even when those emotions show up. This approach can be especially empowering for young professionals balancing life’s pressures and personal values.
-
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT focuses on how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors. It teaches you to challenge and reframe negative or unhelpful thoughts so that you can change how you feel and act. For example, if you have a tendency to think, "I'm going to fail," CBT helps you recognize that thought, question its truth, and replace it with something more realistic. It’s practical and goal-oriented, making it a great fit for those looking for immediate ways to manage stress, anxiety, or depression.

Attachment-Focused Therapy
This type of therapy is all about understanding how your early relationships (like with your caregivers or significant people in your life) shape the way you relate to others today—especially in romantic relationships, friendships, and work dynamics. Attachment theory identifies different attachment styles—like secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—which influence how you seek comfort, handle stress, and navigate conflict. Attachment-Focused Therapy helps you become aware of these patterns, heal past wounds, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections in the present. For young professionals, it can also help with understanding dynamics in the workplace, including how you approach authority, teamwork, and boundaries. This therapy is especially helpful if you’re looking to strengthen relationships, work through trust issues, or break free from toxic relational patterns.
