Therapeutic Approaches
What is ETT
Therapy?
"Emotional Transformation Therapy® (ETT®) is an attachment-based form of interpersonal therapy whose outcomes are substantially amplified by precise visual brain stimulation.”
— Dr. Steve Vazquez, www.ETTTraining.com
ETT can be conducted in person or virtually.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a therapy that uses guided eye movements to help individuals process and heal from trauma. Developed in 1989, it has since been shown to be effective—and often faster—than traditional methods.
— www.ClevelandClinic.org
Divorce, Separation, Infidelity Issues
What Is Partner Betrayal Trauma?
According to Dr. Stefanie Carnes, partner betrayal trauma occurs when someone experiences deep emotional distress after discovering a partner’s infidelity or compulsive sexual behavior. This trauma can resemble symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and hypervigilance. Dr. Carnes emphasizes that these reactions are normal responses to a profound breach of trust. She advocates for trauma-informed, compassionate care that validates the betrayed partner’s experience rather than pathologizing it.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on helping you recognize, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck. It’s an empowering method for managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and emotional overwhelm, equipping you with practical skills to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a future-oriented therapy that focuses on your strengths, resources, and goals—not just your problems. By emphasizing what’s working and building on it, we help you find quick, meaningful steps forward—especially when you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about the next move.
Life and Relationship Coaching
For clients seeking support outside of traditional therapy, we also offer coaching for personal growth, boundary setting, self-empowerment, and relationship strengthening—all through a compassionate, insight-driven lens.
