Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) aims at fostering a sense of emotional safety within relationships. As trust is built, couples can then collaborate to understand where they get stuck and what is leading to conflicts. Once couples can acknowledge and express these emotions, partners create a space for connection. Through this process, couples not only address the root causes but also cultivate effective communication. Couples can then start working together to be able to effectively communicate in a healthy way.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as with most therapy approaches, focuses on the individual’s present concerns. EMDR’s approach, however, considers past experiences are being activated by present or future anticipated experiences.

RO DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Skills Classes for Adults. RO DBT classes are designed to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills to folx with emotional over-control. Individuals who over control their emotions are often highly successful in school and work settings and struggle to feel emotional closeness and connection with others in relationships. They often appear to “have it all together”, while also feeling lonely and isolated and struggling emotionally under the surface. Humans with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), neuro-divergence, depression, PTSD/CPTSD, and more can benefit from these skills classes.
