EMDR
Unlock healing with EMDR therapy
Discover the transformative power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. This evidence-based psychotherapy is renowned for treating trauma-related disorders, including PTSD. EMDR guides clients through an eight-phase process, utilizing bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing memories. With extensive research backing its efficacy, EMDR therapy offers hope for overcoming trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias. Trust in EMDR therapists with specialized training and consultation for optimal results.
IFS or Internal Family Systems
Discover the Power of IFS Therapy
Unlock healing and self-discovery with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz in the 1980s, IFS is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps individuals understand and integrate the different parts of themselves. Through a process of self-discovery, clients learn to identify, communicate with, and integrate their inner parts, fostering greater self-awareness and resilience.
How Does IFS Therapy Work?
In IFS therapy, clients explore their internal parts, such as the inner child and inner critic, to heal past wounds and foster internal harmony. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, individuals develop a deeper understanding of their inner dynamics and learn to navigate their emotions with compassion and insight.
Benefits of IFS Therapy
Experience relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues with IFS therapy. By fostering a balanced internal system, IFS helps individuals overcome emotional challenges and live more fulfilling lives. Trust in the expertise of IFS-trained therapists for effective treatment and transformative results.
Does it matter if my therapist is IFS trained if I want to do IFS?
The short answer is yes, and IFS-trained therapists undergo the rigorous process of being trained through the IFS Institute. I liken it to reading a book about doing something versus actually practicing and doing the work.
The difference lies in the level of expertise and certification. Being “IFS trained” implies completing training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, while “doing IFS therapy” suggests actively utilizing the IFS model in clinical practice with clients, without being trained how to use it. The former implies conducting therapy sessions using IFS techniques and principles under the guidance of an IFS-certified therapist/consultation, while the latter may indicate basic familiarity with the approach.
Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy
Unlocking the Potential of Ketamine Therapy
Explore the transformative benefits of ketamine therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for mental health conditions like treatment-resistant depression (TRD), anxiety disorders, and PTSD. Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, is administered in a controlled environment through various methods such as intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), oral, or nasal spray.
How Does Ketamine Work?
Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine targets the brain’s glutamate system, rapidly alleviating symptoms within hours or days. By blocking NMDA receptors and modulating glutamate levels, ketamine triggers neurobiological effects that enhance synaptic plasticity and promote the formation of new neural connections. This increase in glutamate levels triggers a cascade of neurobiological effects, including the activation of signaling pathways involved in synaptic plasticity, the formation of new neural connections, and the release of other neurotransmitters, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which pays an important part in neuronal growth (BDNF).
