Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is type of therapy that teaches individuals to better regulate their moods, increase feeling of safety, increase self-acceptance, cultivate acceptance of others as they are, and create feelings of comfort.

CFT teaches mindfulness along with cognitive-based skills to manage and alleviate emotions related to persistent shame, self-criticism, and an inability to view oneself and others with kindness and compassion.

CFT is helpful in treating anxiety and mood disorders, as well as anger issues and relationship challenges. It is especially helpful for individuals coping with health challenges, either acute or chronic.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that melds Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Mindfulness skills.

Therapy focuses on teaching individuals how to live in the moment, cope healthily with stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships with others. DBT is grounded in the concept of dialectics, which is the idea that two opposing truths can coexist.

This therapy emphasizes the balance between acceptance and change and is helpful in treating a variety of mental health issues.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence-based therapy that is effective in alleviating and resolving many types of mental health issues. It is especially helpful in healing from traumatic events or painful experiences.

EMDR involves bringing to mind a memory while focusing on the thoughts, emotions, and sensations that surface. Using a type of bilateral stimulation (this can be eye movements, sounds, self-tapping, etc.) memories are reprocessed adaptively, releasing you from the conscious and unconscious influences they may have had on your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and physical health.
