Effective therapy is built on evidence-based treatment approaches—methods that have been researched and proven to help people with specific mental health concerns. Understanding these approaches can help you make informed decisions about your mental health care.

At my Auburn practice, I integrate various evidence-based methods to create personalized treatment plans that address your unique needs and goals. Here are some of the primary approaches I use:

While each of these approaches has its own strengths, I often integrate elements from different methods to create a treatment plan that's uniquely suited to your needs. For example, someone dealing with anxiety might benefit from CBT techniques for thought management combined with mindfulness practices for stress reduction.

The beauty of an integrative approach is that it allows us to draw from the best of what each method offers while remaining flexible and responsive to your preferences and what works best for you. During our work together, we'll explore which approaches feel most helpful and adjust our focus accordingly.

Remember: The most important factor in successful therapy isn't just the specific approach we use—it's the therapeutic relationship and your willingness to engage in the process of change.
