I use multiple therapeutic models, an integrative approach has greater potential to address the complexity of individual needs and supports holistic healing. CBT explores deeply rooted experiences. TFCBT and S-Focused help reframe and fosters hope while shifting the narrative toward resilience. MCBT increases awareness of thought patterns and help to maintain a healthier mind body connection.
