Clinincal Approach
Our clinical model integrates multiple evidence-based modalities — each addressing a unique aspect of stuckness and avoidance:
-
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy): builds willingness and values-guided action.
-
Behavioral Activation: combats inertia and re-engages daily life.
-
Exposure-based CBT: targets social and functional avoidance.
-
Executive Function Coaching: improves planning, follow-through, and time management.
-
RO-DBT & DBT: balance over-control and emotion regulation.
-
MBT (Mentalization-Based Therapy): enhances perspective-taking and social understanding.
-
Compassion-Focused Therapy: reduces shame and self-criticism.
Each participant receives a personalized treatment plan and coordinated care from a multidisciplinary team — therapists, psychiatrists, coaches, and educational/vocational specialists.
