Therapies We Work With
At ekTherapy, our overarching goal is to help you thrive in your daily life. We collaborate with each client to design an individualized therapy plan tailored to their unique needs. Our skilled and extensively trained team draws from a wide range of therapeutic approaches to provide the most effective and personalized care possible.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and change unhealthy or ineffective thoughts and behaviors. By identifying inaccurate beliefs and replacing them with more realistic, helpful ones, CBT supports positive changes in attitude and actions. This evidence-based approach is effective for a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety.
Acceptance Commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding or fighting them. Through ACT, clients clarify what truly matters to them and commit to actions that align with their values, even in the presence of discomfort or emotional pain. This empowering, mindfulness-based approach is effective for treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges, helping people live more fully in the present.​
Harm Reduction
Harm reduction is a compassionate approach that meets people where they are, recognizing that not everyone is ready or able to stop harmful behaviors immediately.
The focus is on minimizing the negative consequences and promoting health and safety, rather than solely aiming to eliminate the behavior. This approach supports gradual, realistic steps toward positive change.
Somatic
​Somatic Therapy is a body-centered approach that explores the deep connection between mind and body, combining psychotherapy with physical techniques for holistic healing. Alongside traditional talk therapy, somatic practitioners use mind-body exercises and physical methods to help release stored tension that can impact both your emotional and physical well-being.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis, also known as hypnotherapy, guides you into a relaxed and focused state of awareness that enhances concentration and openness to positive change.
Guided by a trained practitioner, hypnosis uses verbal repetition and mental imagery to help you achieve calmness and relaxation. During this process, most people experience a deep sense of peace and ease. ​
Interpersonal (IPT)
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a short-term, focused treatment that helps you understand and address difficult relationship issues such as unresolved grief, changes in social or work roles, conflicts with loved ones, or challenges in relating to others.
Relationships + Couples
Couples Therapy offers a space for partners, families, or polyamorous groups to strengthen their relationship through open communication, mutual understanding, and deeper connection.
Whether you're navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, facing life transitions, or simply wanting to enhance your bond, therapy can help identify patterns, improve communication skills, and support shared goals.
At ekTherapy, we work with all types of relationships and create a supportive environment to foster growth—together.
Advanced Trauma Therapies
Trauma Therapy is designed to help individuals heal from the effects of traumatic experiences. Through compassionate and evidence-based approaches, it supports processing difficult memories, reducing symptoms like anxiety or flashbacks, and rebuilding a sense of safety and control. Our therapists use tailored techniques such as EMDR, CPT, somatic, and mindfulness to guide you on your path to recovery.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
We are licensed providers of EMDR, a therapy that uses the gentle power of bilateral stimulation to help the brain bypass areas where traumatic memories have become stuck. This process supports the natural healing of unresolved experiences and allows for healthier emotional processing.
​​When a difficult or traumatic memory becomes “stuck,” the brain is unable to fully process and store it in a healthy way. As a result, the memory can continue to trigger distressing emotions, thoughts, or physical sensations long after the event has passed.
​
During EMDR, you are guided to safely process traumatic memories, which leads to a more peaceful resolution. This experience often brings greater insight—not only into the distressing events themselves, but also into negative beliefs about the self that developed as a result.
Through EMDR, these beliefs can be reprocessed and transformed, supporting emotional healing and personal growth.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based therapy designed to assist people recover from trauma, particularly PTSD. It focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma and how it affects one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
By learning to reframe these thoughts, CPT helps reduce distress and improve emotional well-being, empowering clients to move forward with a healthier outlook.​​
