  • Those who've tried therapy before and want a more personalized approach
  • Complex cases involving multiple issues

What a session looks like

  1. 1Thorough assessment and collaborative case conceptualization
  2. 2Techniques chosen and adjusted based on what's working

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'integrative therapy' actually mean?
It means we don't force your experience into a single model. Different clients — and different issues within the same client — respond to different approaches. An integrative therapist draws from multiple evidence-based frameworks (CBT, ACT, IFS, person-centered, trauma-informed, and more) and builds a treatment plan around you rather than a protocol. It requires more from the therapist, but it tends to fit real human lives better.
Doesn't that just mean you don't specialize in anything?
Fair concern. The difference is between 'jack of all trades, master of none' and 'trained in multiple modalities and skilled at knowing which one fits the moment.' Our integrative clinicians have depth in specific approaches (often CBT or ACT as a base) and pull in other tools when the situation calls for it. It's not vague — it's flexible.
How do you decide what approach to use with me?
Through a real assessment. In the first few sessions we get a full picture of what's going on, what you've tried, what resonates, and what feels off. From there we build an initial plan and share it with you out loud — not as a mysterious clinical decision but as something you can push back on. We also check in as we go and change direction when something isn't working.
Is integrative therapy less effective because it's not a 'pure' approach?
The research actually suggests the opposite for many issues. Real-world clients often present with layered concerns that don't fit one protocol, and thoughtful integration tends to outperform rigid single-model treatment for complex cases. What matters most in outcome research is a strong therapeutic relationship and a coherent plan — both of which integrative therapy is well-suited to provide.
What if I want a specific model — like just CBT or just EMDR?
You can absolutely request that. Several of our clinicians work in specific protocols when a client wants a targeted approach. Just tell us what you're looking for and we'll match you accordingly. Integrative isn't the only option here; it's the default because it fits many people, not because we push it.
