Approaches to Therapy
At True Course Counseling, our certified therapists draw from an array of evidence-based therapy methods and approaches. We understand that each client is a unique individual, which is why we take great care in tailoring our therapeutic approach to your specific needs, goals, and personal values. Our approaches to therapy include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an effective, research-backed therapy that helps identify and reframe negative thought patterns influencing behaviors and emotions. Through CBT, our therapists work with you to challenge unhelpful cognitive distortions, manage stress, and develop more positive ways of thinking that yield improved emotional regulation and wellness.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialized therapy used to help individuals process and heal from trauma or disturbing life experiences. This unique approach combines cognitive therapy principles with guided eye movements to help the brain reprogram how distressing memories are stored. Our EMDR therapists create a safe space for you to process traumatic events.
Anger Management
When unresolved anger leads to outbursts or repression, it can damage relationships and personal well-being. Our approach to anger management involves exploring the root frustrations driving hostile feelings or aggressive impulses. You’ll develop healthier coping mechanisms to express anger constructively and communicate needs effectively.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals more deeply experience and process underlying emotions tied to issues like trauma, grief, depression, and relationship conflicts. Our caring therapists provide a nonjudgmental space to connect with, understand, and work through intense emotions so that you can heal and thrive.
Additionally, we specialize in providing EFT tailored to the unique dynamics of ethically non-monogamous relationships. Our therapists understand complexities like jealousy, establishing boundaries, hierarchies, and ongoing consent. We facilitate open communication to strengthen trust, emotional intimacy, and mutual understanding.
Religious Trauma Processing
Religious Deconstruction Therapy provides support for those reevaluating belief systems instilled from rigid religious or authoritarian upbringings. Our specialized therapists can help guide you through the confusing process of detangling indoctrinated beliefs to redefine your personal values system. Whether your goal to explore a different faith, move away from a faith, or redefine your relationship with your faith, your therapist will guide you through every step of your journey.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
IFS is a therapeutic model recognizing we all have various “parts” making up our inner world. These parts may hold different beliefs, burdens, or trauma. Our experienced therapists can use IFS to help you cultivate personal autonomy and understand your parts with compassion to ultimately achieve healing.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT combines mindfulness skills with commitment to behavior changes aligned with your values. Rather than fighting difficult emotions, our therapists guide you to practice acceptance and make room for unpleasant feelings while taking action to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
