Therapeutic Theories We Use:
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS): A therapeutic model that views the mind as made up of multiple "parts" (e.g., inner children, protectors, etc.). IFS helps families and individuals identify and heal these internal parts to promote internal harmony, which in turn improves external relationships. We use this approach to help family members understand their internal conflicts and enhance empathy between individuals.
-
Gottman Method: Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this approach emphasizes building healthy communication and emotional connection in relationships. It includes tools to manage conflict, strengthen friendship, and create shared goals. We apply Gottman’s principles to improve marital and family relationships, focusing on building trust, affection, and effective conflict management.
-
Imago Relationship Therapy: This approach focuses on the unconscious factors that shape relationship patterns. Developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix, Imago therapy helps individuals understand the hidden dynamics in their relationships and guides them in creating more fulfilling emotional connections. We incorporate this theory to help couples and families heal past wounds and build healthier, more connected relationships.
