Our Approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT encourages people to commit to actions that align with their values and improve their lives. It combines mindful practices with behavioral changes, empowering individuals to live in the present moment and handle life's challenges with more resilience and flexibility. By fostering acceptance and commitment, ACT helps individuals reduce suffering and build a meaningful, fulfilling life.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented, future-focused therapeutic approach that helps clients find practical solutions to current challenges. Rather than delving into past issues or focusing on problems, SFBT encourages clients to identify their strengths and past successes, using these as a foundation to build solutions. In SFBT sessions, clients and therapists work collaboratively to set clear goals, explore what’s already working, and take small, actionable steps toward positive change. This approach is highly effective for individuals seeking quick, solution-based strategies to address specific life challenges, whether they relate to stress, relationships, or personal development.
An option to focus on money with Financial Therapy
Blending ACT or SFBT with Financial Therapy creates a dynamic approach to addressing financial stress and building healthier money habits. With ACT, clients learn to accept difficult financial emotions—such as shame, fear, or anxiety—and commit to actions that align with their financial values, fostering mindful money decisions. SFBT focuses on practical, solution-driven steps, using clients' past successes to create immediate financial improvements. When combined with financial therapy's focus on emotional and psychological relationships with money, this approach empowers clients to move from financial avoidance or stress to more intentional and value-driven financial behavior.
