Integrative care, explained simply
Our therapy approaches
We’re integrative, which means we don’t force everyone through the same method. Your psychologist chooses the approach — or blend of approaches — that fits your situation and how you’re wired, not the one we happen to prefer. Here are the main ones, each explained simply.

How it works
How it works
We listen first
Before choosing any method, we understand you and what you’re facing.
We match the approach to you
We pick the method — or blend — most likely to help, and explain it in plain language.
We adapt as we go
Therapy isn’t fixed. If something isn’t working, we adjust — the approach serves you, not the other way round.

Research shows the relationship between you and your therapist matters as much as the method — which is why we lead with fit, then choose the tools.
Before you begin
Common questions about our approaches
Do I need to choose an approach myself?
Not at all. Most people don’t, and that’s completely fine — we recommend what fits after hearing what’s going on. The names are here for those who like to understand the tools.
What does ‘integrative’ mean?
It means we draw on several evidence-based methods and tailor the blend to you, rather than applying one fixed model to everyone.
Are these approaches evidence-based?
Yes — the methods we use are supported by research for the issues we apply them to. Where evidence is strongest for a particular approach, we lean on it.
Can you combine approaches?
Often, yes. For example, we might use parts-based or somatic work alongside CBT. Your psychologist blends thoughtfully, not randomly.
How do I know which is right for me?
You don’t have to — that’s our job. Tell us what’s happening on a first call and we’ll suggest the best-fit approach and psychologist.
