Many approaches can be used in psychotherapy with the general goals of learning more helpful ways to cope with life challenges and trauma, build insight and improve overall functioning. Each approach uses a different path of progressing toward these goals.
As there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health, I use the following with teens and adults:
- Mindfulness
- Self-compassion
- Feminist Multicultural Theory (FMT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Anti-diet
- Health At Every Size (HAES)
- Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
