1. Psychodynamic Therapy

What It Is: Psychodynamic therapy delves into unconscious processes and seeks to understand how these hidden emotions affect current behavior. This method extends beyond traditional Freudian techniques to help patients uncover deep-seated feelings and resolve them.

When We Use It: We find this approach particularly effective for individuals dealing with depression or anxiety that stems from unresolved conflicts or past traumatic experiences.

2. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

What It Is: CBT is a structured, short-term therapy that is goal-oriented. It focuses on solving current problems and modifying dysfunctional thinking and behavior.

When We Use It: We find this approach ideal for treating phobias, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders. For instance, we find that a patient with panic disorder may benefit from CBT to reframe their thoughts during panic attacks and reduce their frequency.

We frequently find Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), based on CBT, ideal for treating several conditions like Anxiety and Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Substance Use Disorders, Eating Disorders, including Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia, and when someone is considering self-harm and exhibiting suicidal behaviors.

3. Humanistic Therapy

What It Is: Humanistic therapy emphasizes personal growth and self-awareness. It fosters an environment where clients can explore their feelings in a non-judgmental setting, promoting self-discovery and positive self-regard.

When We Use It: We find that this approach to therapy is beneficial for individuals feeling lost in life or struggling with self-esteem issues. It helps them to realize their strengths and potential through a process of self-discovery and personal growth.

4. Eclectic Therapy

What It Is: Eclectic therapy integrates techniques from various psychotherapeutic approaches tailored to the client's needs. This flexible approach allows therapists to apply the most effective methods to address specific client issues.

When We Use It: We find this approach useful for complex cases where multiple issues are present, such as a patient with co-occurring substance abuse and bipolar disorder.
