Too often, people are taught that sex is not pleasurable, that they should fear it because of unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections (STI). This messaging, along with your body’s natural physical response, play incremental roles in the overall personal ideology of your sexual functioning. Learn to break free of the fear-induced sexual scripts and take pleasure in yourself or your partner.

Attachment-Based Therapy is a wonderful tool that can help individuals create secure and healthier relationships with people they care about. By focusing on attachment issues, this form of therapy can provide the guidance and understanding needed to create lasting bonds with significant people in our life.

Trauma therapy can help you change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Ultimately, trauma changes how we view our Inner Self. Through trauma-focused therapy, you start to peel back the trauma response parts of yourself to get to the true you. Talking with a professional therapist can help you manage any distressing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to your traumatic event and heal.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, treatment helps you look at the connection between your thoughts and emotions with your behaviors. This model enables you to understand where these thoughts and feelings come from to work on challenging them. Much like psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you bring unconscious drivers to the consciousness of working toward healing.

Internal family systems therapy (IFS) is a form of psychotherapy that views the self as composed of multiple sub-personalities or “parts.” IFS assumes that these parts can have different goals, values, and opinions and often conflict with one another. The goal of IFS therapy is to help people become aware of these parts and learn how to communicate with them to work together towards the common goal of healing.

Using Gottman’s research, your relationship therapist will show you the tools for truly hearing your partner and working toward understanding through a compassionate and empathic lens.

Then you will learn how to combat these harmful ways of interacting with suggestions from Gottman’s toolbox. You will learn to see your partner as a teammate again and trust that they have your best interest in mind.

Attachment-based Therapy (ABT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals create secure attachments with themselves and those they care about. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on building secure, trusting relationships between the therapist and their client. ABT works to deepen the client’s understanding of their past experiences and how these experiences connect to their current relationships.

Person-centered therapy seeks to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment in which the client can explore the issues holding them back from achieving their full potential. The therapist serves as a guide, helping the client find their own answers and develop greater insight into their thoughts and behavior patterns. This type of therapy is based on the belief that everyone can grow and change, given the right conditions.

Trauma is stored in the body and the mind. EMDR not only reprocesses the memory and targets the negative beliefs associated with the memory, but also targets the memories stored in the body. EMDR has the benefit of a domino effect so you don’t need to process all of your trauma memories to have the full benefit of feeling more healed from your past experiences.

Attachment-Based Therapy is a wonderful, life-changing approach to healing and psychological restoration. It helps adults and children build strong and meaningful relationships with their family members, friends, significant others, and communities. A lot of times, childhood trauma leads to unsatisfying relationships. This type of therapy allows clients to identify and heal from their trauma in order to live a fulfilling life.
