What We'll Use to Help You Thrive

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of counseling that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. The idea is that the way you think about a situation can affect how you feel and what you do. Sometimes, our thoughts aren’t completely accurate—they can make us feel anxious, sad, or stressed. CBT helps you learn how to spot those unhelpful thoughts, challenge them, and replace them with more realistic and positive ones. You’ll also practice new behaviors that support your goals. Think of CBT as training your brain: you gain practical tools to manage stress, improve your mood, and handle challenges more confidently.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of counseling that helps you manage big emotions and improve relationships. It’s based on the idea that two things can be true at the same time—for example, “I’m doing my best” and “I can still work on getting better.” DBT teaches practical skills in four main areas: mindfulness (staying present), emotion regulation (handling strong feelings), distress tolerance (getting through tough moments without making things worse), and interpersonal effectiveness (communicating and setting boundaries). These skills give you tools to stay calm, think clearly, and make choices that support your goals—even when life feels overwhelming.

Parts Work is a type of therapy that helps you understand the different voices or “parts” inside your mind. Think of your mind like a group chat, there’s the part that wants to get everything perfect, the part that feels anxious, the part that just wants to chill, and more. Sometimes these parts argue or take over, which can make life stressful. Parts work teaches you how to listen to each part without judgment and help them work together. At the center is your “Self,” which is calm and wise, like the group chat moderator. The goal is to let your Self lead so all your parts feel heard and you feel more balanced.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)is a type of counseling that helps you handle difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Instead of trying to fight or ignore uncomfortable emotions, ACT teaches you how to accept them and focus on what really matters to you. You’ll learn skills like mindfulness (paying attention to the present moment), defusion (stepping back from unhelpful thoughts), and values-based action (making choices that fit your goals and values). Think of ACT as learning to surf the waves of life—you can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to ride them and keep moving toward what’s important to you.
