Mental health counseling and therapies span a rich spectrum—from structured, evidence-based modalities to creative, holistic approaches that align beautifully with your trauma-informed, client-centered ethos.

​

 

🧠 Core Therapeutic Approaches

These are widely practiced and often form the backbone of mental health support:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): Focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns.

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): Encourages psychological flexibility through mindfulness and values-based action.

• DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy): Combines emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

• SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy): Goal-oriented, emphasizing strengths and future possibilities.

• MI (Motivational Interviewing): Supports behavior change by resolving ambivalence and enhancing motivation.
