It is not uncommon for us to learn and process in ways that are beyond words and traditional talk therapy. Because of this, we offer a variety of experiential therapies to allow you to find the best fit for your unique healing needs. Our therapists will assess with you which of these, or a combination, would be most effective so you can reach your treatment goals.
Different Types of Experiential Therapies
SOMATIC THERAPIES focus on the mind/body connection and healing by releasing or moving stuck emotions through in order to heal. This is a great way to treat trauma and high-level stress that is continuing to impact your life. Some of these therapies include:
- Somatic Experiencing
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
- Trauma Informed Yoga
- Polyvagal Therapy
- Dance movement therapy
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
ART THERAPY focuses on the process of art as a way of healing and expressing oneself. This evidenced based approach can be useful for all ages and for treating many different life experiences, including trauma, poor body image, and perfectionism.
DRAMA THERAPY offers a very active experience to gain insight to previous experiences, learn and practice interpersonal relationship skills, and strengthen connection with imagination. This can be helpful for healing and for learning practical skills for everyday functioning.
ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) is focused on adjusting thought and behavior connections triggering significant discomfort. Common disorders and experiences that can benefit from this approach are OCD, perfectionism, and anxiety related disorders.
MINDFULNESS MEDITATION guides a client to enhance awareness of themself and their worldly experiences without judgment and increased intention in their actions. This can be beneficial for any human, but particularly effective for those dealing with anxiousness, addictions, or ADHD.
CREATIVITY IS USED IN THERAPY by many of our therapists. They are naturally guided by and open to expressive arts, and can also empower you to use your own creativity and interests. They are happy to take your lead in whichever way you best express yourself, whether that be through making a playlist of songs, crafting, photographing your gratitude for the week, and so many more. They can work with you to make these authentic connections for deeper personal insights and encourage thoroughness in your healing.
