Specializations
At Sustainable Wellness, we focus on addressing issues at the root. Each of our providers have received specialized training in trauma-focused care and other evidenced-based, supportive modalities. Some of our most common used approaches are outlined below.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT encourages people to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. It encourages psychological flexibility, combining mindfulness skills with the practice of self-acceptance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT teaches people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others. It can help people who have difficulty with emotional regulation or are exhibiting self-destructive behaviors.
KAP
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms.
Somatic therapies
Somatic therapies enable clients to discover and change habitual physical and psychological patterns that impede optimal functioning and wellbeing. They can be helpful in working with dysregulated activation and other effects of trauma, as well as the limiting belief systems of developmental issues.
Attachment-based Therapy
Attachment therapy explores how a person's childhood experiences might impact their ability to form meaningful bonds as adults. This can be helpful for anyone struggling to foster deep connections with others or who need help rebuilding trust in relationships.
By orchestrating the brain’s natural ability to process emotional experiences, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy can diminish the intensity of troublesome memories and produce emotional relief.
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal Theory has been described as the “science of feeling safe.” It provides understanding in how the vagus nerve, a part of our nervous systems, relates to our ability to connect and communicate with one other and respond to stimuli in terms of varying degrees of safety and danger.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS views the mind as naturally multiple and containing three primary categories of parts: exiles, managers, and firefighters. The goal of IFS is to differentiate the Self from these other parts, unburden or restore wounded parts, and establish a healthy, harmonious internal system.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy can help people identify enduring and self-defeating patterns that pose obstacles for accomplishing a person’s goals and getting one’s needs met. Schemas typically begin early in life and consist of dysfunctional thoughts and feelings that have been repeated and elaborated upon.
