In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the best ways to improve your journey. CBT and DBT therapies help to identify thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and provide tools to use for less distressful experiences. EMDR and IFS therapies gently identify and re-process past complex situations to clear out stuck emotions for less distressful experiences.
