Types of Therapy
We offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches to ensure that you receive the care that best suits your needs:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Effective for treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and self-esteem issues by helping you understand the connection between your thoughts and behaviors.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing EMDR therapy is a form of psychotherapy that was initially developed to help people process traumatic experiences. Bilateral stimulation is used, which can involve eye movements, taps, or sounds, to stimulate both sides of the brain. This bilateral stimulation helps you to access and process traumatic or distressing memories or experiences in a structured and supported way.
