This kind of therapy helps individuals process their experiences, develop holistic coping strategies, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others rooted in felt safety and security .  Ultimately this therapy aims to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives and foster resilience in the face of adversity.

Brainspotting therapy

TO SUPPORT YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach focuses on the connection between eye position and emotional processing. Developed by Dr. David Grand, it helps individuals access and traumatic memories or emotional distress by identifying specific eye positions that correlate with their feelings.

Through brainspotting, clients can achieve a greater understanding of their emotions and experiences, leading to transformative change.

INternal family Systems (IFS) therapy

TO SUPPORT ALL PARTS OF YOU

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a unique approach  founded by Dick Schwartz that views a person as being made of carious "parts," each with its own feelings, thoughts, and functions. By exploring these different parts or characters, individuals can better understand their inner dynamics and how such parts influence one's way of perceiving and engaging with the world. Through IFS work, people can experience improved self-awareness, enhanced emotional regulation, and the ability foster deeper levels of compassion for themselves and for others.

Decolonial therapy

TO SUPPORT YOUR HUMANITY

Decolonial therapy explores and directs healing towards  the harmful social programming society has forced onto us related to our perception of power, privilege, oppression, and marginalization based on the social constructs of identity and their socialized associations. Through decolonial therapy, we apply intersectional frameworks to explore our social identities and how we benefit from and are harmed by them due to institutional reinforcement and work to renegotiate  and heal our own internalized beliefs, narratives, and perceptions around ourselves and others to create a greater sense of equitable liberation and sovereignty for ourselves and our human and more than human kin.
