Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and helps clients develop practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered approach that helps individuals explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - it can be useful for habit change, addictions, and making difficult life adjustments. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing the effects of traumatic experiences and building safety and regulation skills to reduce their impact on daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tara collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
