Specialization Services
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a psychotherapeutic approach that views the mind as a system of parts—protective managers, reactive firefighters, and vulnerable exiles—guided by a core Self characterized by calm curiosity and compassion. Through compassionate, nonjudgmental dialogue, individuals learn to unblend from their parts and access Self to heal wounded experiences, reduce inner reactivity, and restore inner harmony. By recognizing each part as a protective, often well-meaning voice rather than a problem to be erased, IFS promotes self-leadership, emotional balance, and lasting well-being.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that combines mindfulness practices with skills in four modules—distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and core mindfulness—to help people manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and build healthier relationships. It emphasizes balancing acceptance with change, using skills training, individual therapy, and coaching to promote resilience, self-awareness, and lasting emotional well-being. DBT is widely used for emotion dysregulation, self-harm, and certain mood and personality disorders.
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal Theory-informed therapy focuses on how the autonomic nervous system influences emotions, behavior, and trauma responses. By promoting safety, co-regulation, and social connection, it helps clients regulate arousal through practices that engage the ventral vagal system, calm the fight–or–flight response (sympathetic), and, when needed, gently address shutdown (dorsal vagal). The approach emphasizes conscious body awareness, paced exposure, and grounding techniques to improve nervous system flexibility, reduce reactivity, and support healthier emotional and relational functioning.
Narcissistic Behaviors
Narcissistic behaviors can manifest in various ways, often characterized by an excessive need for admiration, a lack of empathy, and an inflated sense of self-importance. Individuals exhibiting these traits may prioritize their needs above others, leading to strained relationships and a cycle of emotional manipulation. It's essential to recognize that while narcissism exists on a spectrum, its impact can be profound, affecting not only the individual but also those around them. Understanding these behaviors can help foster healthier interactions and help seek appropriate support, whether through therapy or community resources.
