Therapeutic Modalities

At the Center our Clinicians use a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet our clients' specific needs. We recognize that clinical terms and jargon can be a lot of information to digest. This page is intended to serve as an informative page, allowing you to read and process the different modalities at your pace and convenience.

EMDR

“Changing the memories that form the way we see ourselves also changes the way we view others. Therefore, our relationships, job performance, what we are willing to do or are able to resist, all move in a positive direction.”
― Francine Shapiro

Internal Family Systems

"When you accept all the parts of you, you activate eight C’s of your core self , namely; curiosity, calm, clarity, compassion, confidence, creativity, connectedness, and courage. When we are filled up with these qualities, we can feel for someone, without being overwhelmed by them."

― Dr. Richard C. Schwartz

Child/Play Therapy

“Toys are children’s words and play is their language”

— Gary L. Landreth.

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning”

— Fred Rogers.

Cognitive Behavioral Theory

"The stronger person is not the one making the most noise but the one who can quietly direct the conversation toward defining and solving problems."

― Aaron Beck

Theraplay

"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play that you can in a year of conversation."

― Plato

Integrative Attachment and Trauma Protocol

“As long as we feel safely held in the hearts and minds of the people who love us, we will climb mountains and cross deserts and stay up all night to finish projects.”

― Bessel A. van der Kolk
