Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, empowering approach to therapy that helps people understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves. We all have inner parts—like the inner critic, the people-pleaser, the angry part, or the anxious part—and each one has its own perspective and role.

IFS helps you build a compassionate relationship with these parts, rather than pushing them away. The goal isn’t to get rid of them, but to understand their purpose and help them feel safe, so they can let go of extreme roles and function in healthier ways.

At the heart of IFS is the belief that everyone has a calm, wise, and grounded core Self that can lead the healing process. When we connect with this Self, we can bring understanding, balance, and harmony to our inner world.

EFIT is a powerful approach to therapy that helps people better understand their emotions and strengthen their sense of connection—with themselves and others. Rooted in attachment science, EFIT focuses on how our early relationships shape the way we feel, cope, and connect throughout life.

This approach helps you explore the emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck—like anxiety, self-criticism, or feeling disconnected—and gently guides you toward healing. Through a supportive and attuned relationship with your therapist, EFIT helps you access your core emotions, build self-compassion, and create new, more secure ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.

At its core, EFIT is about using the power of emotion to foster healing, resilience, and meaningful change.

Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, helps us understand how our nervous system responds to stress, safety, and connection. It explains why at times we feel calm and connected, and at other times we feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down.

Our body is always scanning the environment for signs of safety or danger—a process called neuroception. Based on what it senses, the nervous system shifts between different states:

Safe and social – where we feel calm, open, and connected

Fight or flight – where we feel anxious, angry, or tense

Shutdown or freeze – where we may feel numb, disconnected, or hopeless

These reactions are automatic—not a sign of weakness or failure—but a natural part of how the body protects us. Understanding these responses can help you learn how to regulate your nervous system, feel more grounded, and re-establish a sense of safety and connection in your daily life

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build a more balanced, fulfilling life. Originally developed for individuals struggling with emotion regulation, DBT is now widely used to support anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from themselves or others.

DBT teaches practical tools in four key areas:

Mindfulness – learning to stay present and grounded

Emotion regulation – understanding and managing strong feelings

Distress tolerance – coping with pain or crisis without making things worse

Interpersonal effectiveness – setting boundaries and improving communication

The word “dialectical” means bringing together two seemingly opposite things—like acceptance and change. In DBT, you’ll learn how to accept yourself as you are while also working toward meaningful growth and transformation.

This approach emphasizes compassion, validation, and building a life that feels more aligned with your values. When integrated with other therapies, DBT can support emotional regulation and foster greater resilience, safety, and connection—both with yourself and with others.

Play Therapy is a gentle and effective approach that helps people of all ages—children, teenagers, and even adults—express their feelings and work through challenges using creative, natural forms of communication. Through play, art, storytelling, games, or movement, individuals can share emotions and experiences that might be difficult to put into words.

For parents and educators, Play Therapy provides a safe, supportive space where people feel understood and heard. It helps build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and heal emotional wounds in a way that feels comfortable and authentic.

Whether a child is struggling with big feelings, a teen is facing life transitions, or an adult is processing trauma, Play Therapy offers a meaningful path toward growth and healing
