Many people come to see us when they are experiencing stress in their relationships or when they are at a major crossroads in their lives. We help people embrace and transform these difficult life transitions into self-defining moments. If you are going through major changes, this may be the perfect time to invest in yourself and your soul, and turn the hard times into times of deep growth. As a depth therapy center, we help you reach into your unconscious and harness its healing powers. Each of our therapists use slightly different methods for accessing the unconscious, but all have the same goal: to help you embrace and transform difficult life transitions into self-defining moments.
Individual therapy may take the form of “talk therapy,” but many of our therapists also use other modalities or methods. Depending on your interest and needs, you and your therapist may opt to use a supplementary approach or a combination of techniques.
Other Methods Used in Individual Therapy
Sand tray therapy is a powerful, therapeutic modality that is used as an adjunct to talk therapy. It is a non-rational, non-verbal "hands-on" method that provides a space to relate to one's psychic material through the inner symbolic world of the unconscious, which is alive with meaning. A basic premise of this method is that the psyche holds the natural capacity to heal itself under the proper conditions.
The contained space created within the sand tray, and held within the therapeutic relationship, allows one to journey through the self-actualization process by connecting with the deepest layers of the Self. As information from the unconscious emerges visually and symbolically in the tray, it can be identified, recognized, and eventually integrated into a person's awareness and sense of self. Clients can create many sand tray images over the course of therapy, developing a series of images and experiential processes that illustrate and illuminate their unique path toward integration, self-awareness, and transformation.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, or AEDP, involves using a person’s crisis and suffering as opportunities to awaken extraordinary capacities within the person that might otherwise lie dormant, unknown and untapped. AEDP makes the most of these hidden forces for healing and transformation, and helps dissolve feelings of aloneness, creating a safe space within the therapist-patient relationship for ongoing healing and progress.
HeartMath is essentially about achieving "coherence" or forming a reliable alignment of your mind, heart, and emotions. Tuning into your heart's wisdom can ultimately give you the ability to approach situations with more personal confidence.
Videos are narrated by a trainer, who is referred to as a Coherence Coach. The main purpose of the coach is to guide you through an interactive meditation filled with colors and moving objects that can ultimately lead you to accepting your flaws and qualities. The Coherence Coach will train you to discover personal access to your heart and strengthen the bond between your mind and soul.
