Treatment Modalities and Integrated Approaches

You may consider reaching out if you need help navigating your relationships, feeling less stressed, less overwhelmed, or if you need support with something new in your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Dr. Beck, the pioneer of CBT posited that the way individuals perceive a situation is more closely connected to their reaction than the situation itself. This model suggests that what we think affects how we feel and act. You will learn how to identify the relationships between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing

A collaborative process and evidenced-based approach for those struggling with ambivalence, low self-esteem and lack of motivation.

Financial Behavioral Change

Create a healthy relationship with money by identifying prevalent financial stressors and addressing learned behaviors from ones family unit.

Parenting

Practiced as developed by Hoffman, Cooper, and Powell​ to apply object relations, attachment theory and family systems theory. J. Bowlby, who formulated attachment theory posited that children need to engage in a healthy relationship with at least one caregiver in order to develop socially and emotionally. Following his research, M. Ainsworth introduced the concept of the “secure base”.

Learn how to create a secure base in order to provide trusting feedback that your child/ren’s need(s). You may consider working with Ashley if you need help coping with your child/ren’s behaviors or addressing your child/ren’s emotions.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT was conceived as an 8-week psychosocial modality for groups. Many practitioners now integrate mindfulness techniques and meditation into sessions on an individual basis. This integrated approach will help you become an emotional “scientist” rather than an emotional “judger”. You will find an increased level of self-compassion through simply acknowledging ones feelings.

Psychodynamic

It “focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and [client] as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the [client’s] life” (APA, 2010). Research suggests that this type of short-term therapy can prove to be successful in just six months.
