Treatment Approach

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings instead of trying to eliminate them. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to you and building the flexibility to take action in line with those values, even when anxiety, low mood, or self-criticism shows up.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape the way someone seeks closeness, handles conflict, and responds to stress. It is often used with children, parents, and adoptive families to understand behavior in the context of safety and connection, and to strengthen more secure relationships over time.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Clients learn to notice unhelpful patterns and practice specific skills they can use between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is often a fit when emotions feel intense or hard to manage, or when relationships and coping skills are a central focus of treatment.
Eclectic
An eclectic approach draws on more than one therapy model rather than staying inside a single method. The therapist selects techniques based on the client’s goals, age, and what is working in the room, instead of applying one protocol to every concern.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they are less disruptive in daily life. It is used for trauma and PTSD, as well as anxiety, panic, triggers, and negative beliefs shaped by past experience. Treatment is paced, with a focus on safety and stabilization rather than retelling the trauma in detail.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specific behavioral treatment most often used for obsessive-compulsive disorder and related anxiety. Clients gradually face feared situations or thoughts while practicing not doing the rituals or avoidance that keep the fear going. The work is planned, collaborative, and matched to what the person can tolerate.
Integrative
Integrative therapy combines ideas and methods from more than one approach into a consistent way of working. Rather than switching methods at random, the therapist blends them around the client’s needs — for example, insight-oriented work alongside skills for anxiety, trauma, or relationships.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a non-pathologizing approach that treats the mind as made up of different “parts,” such as protective parts and wounded parts, along with a core Self that can be calm and compassionate. Trauma and stress can push some parts into extreme roles. IFS works to understand those parts and reduce inner conflict. It does not require revisiting traumatic events in detail.
Ketamine-assisted
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) combines the medical use of ketamine with structured therapy. Ketamine is prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider. Psychotherapy sessions help prepare for the experience and integrate what comes up. It may be considered when depression, trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, or chronic stress have not improved enough with standard treatment. It is not a standalone intervention.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a coached parent-and-child treatment for young children with challenging behavior. The therapist observes parent-child play, usually from outside the room, and coaches the caregiver in real time on specific skills that strengthen the relationship and support clearer, calmer limits.
Play therapy
Play therapy uses play, games, and creative activity as the main way children express themselves and practice new skills. It is developmentally matched, so younger children do not have to rely on talk alone. Sessions may target emotions, behavior, frustration tolerance, flexibility, and social skills, with parents included as needed.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experience, relationships, and patterns outside of awareness show up in current feelings and choices. Sessions are less structured than skills-based therapies. The focus is on insight, recurring themes, and the therapy relationship itself as a place to understand those patterns.
Schema therapy
Schema therapy is an integrative approach that maps long-standing life patterns, often called schemas, that develop from earlier experience and keep showing up in emotions, relationships, and self-esteem. It blends cognitive work with experiential techniques to help people recognize those patterns and respond to them differently.
Trauma-focused
Trauma-focused therapy is care organized around how overwhelming experiences affect thoughts, emotions, the body, and relationships. At Attuned it may include EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and other trauma-informed methods, paced so the client feels safe. The aim is to reduce how much past events drive the present, not to “fix” the person.
