Depression and Anxiety Modalities

Emotion Focused Therapy - This approach guides clients to identify, experience, tolerate, and make decisions based on their emotions. This therapy is for people who lack emotional awareness, experience numbing and dissociation, and who experience avoidance of inner experience. Through EFT clients can experience increased awareness and acceptance of their emotions and decreased avoidance behavior that perpetuates interpersonal difficulties. 

Interpersonal Therapy - This approach focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and functioning to relieve symptomatology. It addresses current issues and communication in relationships as opposed to revisiting childhood or developmental events. Therapy focuses on how the client relates to self, others, and therapist. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)  - A therapeutic approach that utilizes acceptance, mindfulness techniques, commitment and behavioral change strategies to increase client’s resilience, adaptability, and value-driven behavior. Clients change their relationship with avoided thoughts, feelings, and memories to reintegrate and accept them, in turn directing their lives in more personally meaningful ways.
