Finding the right type of therapy can feel overwhelming, but understanding different approaches can help you choose what feels best. Farnaz uses an integrative approach, meaning she tailors therapy to your unique needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. She draws from these evidence-based modalities to create a personalized plan that supports your healing journey in a way that feels right for you.
ACT helps you stop fighting your thoughts and emotions and instead focus on what truly matters to you. By practicing mindfulness and learning to accept difficult feelings, you can take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life.
CBT is a practical, solution-focused therapy that helps you recognize and change negative thought patterns. It teaches coping strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and depression, giving you tools to navigate life’s challenges with more confidence.
If you struggle with intense emotions, DBT can help. This approach combines mindfulness, emotional regulation, and relationship-building skills to support better decision-making and healthier connections with others.
EMDR is a powerful therapy for trauma and PTSD. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of stimulation to help your brain reprocess painful memories, making them feel less overwhelming over time.
Sometimes, talking isn’t enough. Experiential therapy uses creative activities like role-playing or art to help you connect with your emotions in a deeper way, leading to greater self-awareness and healing.
Gestalt therapy helps you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present moment. By exploring patterns in your relationships and past experiences, this approach encourages self-acceptance and deeper personal insight, empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life.
Many emotional struggles stem from unmet needs or wounds from childhood. Inner child work helps you reconnect with and heal those younger parts of yourself, providing the nurturing, validation, and support you may not have received. This process can be incredibly powerful for overcoming self-doubt, improving relationships, and fostering self-compassion.
You are not your problems. Narrative therapy helps you step back and see your life story from a new perspective, empowering you to rewrite your experiences in a way that highlights your strengths and resilience.
Rather than dwelling on the past, SFT helps you focus on what’s working and how to build a better future. It’s a positive, goal-oriented approach that encourages small, meaningful steps toward change.
Your body holds onto stress and trauma, often without you realizing it. Somatic therapy helps release tension through techniques like breathwork and movement, allowing you to feel more at ease in your own body.
No matter the therapy approach, trauma-informed care ensures that your experiences are met with understanding, safety, and compassion. It prioritizes your well-being and helps you heal at your own pace, without fear of judgment or re-traumatization.
Remember, healing is personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Farnaz is here to help you explore what works best for you, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to support your growth and well-being.
