Who is Therapy For?

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a groundbreaking, neuroscience-based approach that targets the neurological sequence of trauma responses before they even reach conscious awareness. It focuses on the brainstem's orienting response, the very first place the brain registers a threat.

By accessing these deep, subcortical areas, DBR effectively addresses trauma and attachment wounds at a preverbal level. This means it can heal deep-seated shock and affective pain that words often cannot reach, providing relief when traditional talk therapy falls short.

The process works by tracking subtle physical tension patterns, allowing the nervous system to naturally complete its interrupted defensive responses and clear the physiological residue of trauma.

We all have internal "parts" — aspects of our personality that carry different emotions, beliefs, and roles. Some parts may protect us, while others hold the pain of past experiences.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate and empowering approach that helps you understand and heal these different parts of yourself. IFS helps you develop a relationship with these parts, bringing curiosity and self-compassion to your inner world.

By connecting with your core "Self" — the calm, wise, and centered part of you — you can bring healing and harmony to your internal system. This approach is effective for processing trauma, reducing internal conflict, and promoting greater emotional well-being. Instead of trying to suppress or get rid of parts of yourself, IFS helps you listen to them, understand them, and integrate them in a healthy way.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine to treat trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. It is based on the understanding that trauma is not just stored in memory, but also in the body's physiological responses.

SE focuses on observing and working with bodily sensations, rather than reliving traumatic events in detail, helping the nervous system gradually regain its balance. Through this process, a person can release accumulated survival energy, reduce symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, or "freeze" responses, and recover greater regulation, resilience, and well-being.

It’s important to say that, although SE is a bottom-up modality, we include all the 5 dimensions of experience: Sensations, Images, Behavior, Affect and Meaning.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic approach with a strong foundation in scientific research and neuroscience. The therapy takes place in an "ocean" of empathetic and non-judgmental relationship with "islands" of exercises designed to accelerate the process of accessing, expressing, and transforming emotions.

For EFT, emotions are the gateways to our subjective experience and carry information about what we truly need. For example, sadness, anxiety, or anger are not seen as symptoms, but as messengers that some emotional need is not being met.

Research shows that EFT is highly effective for individuals, couples, and families, particularly in strengthening relationships, reducing anxiety and depression, and resolving trauma.
