Everyone encounters challenges every day. They are meant to teach us lessons in life to make us stronger and wiser. However, sometimes we may find ourselves overwhelmed by these issues and feel that we need other people’s help to make important decisions in life. We seek advice from friends and family and those advice may or may not be able to help us.

To help you in your current circumstances, we employ universally accepted and effective therapeutic models, including:
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
CBT has risen to prominence in the scientific community since the past decades. In this model, your perception of certain things, people, or situations affect your physical, behavioral, biological, and emotional functions. Furthermore, a bad or dysfunctional mindset is believed to lead to chronic ailments and behavioral problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dr. Marsha Linehan developed DBT in the 1980s. She noticed that CBT may not work in some individuals, especially among Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patients. With her team, she initiated the development of DBT by altering some techniques in CBT. DBT helps individuals to cope with stress, control their emotions, and improve their relationships.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis was introduced by Sigmund Freud as an approach to treating psychological and behavioral issues. In this model, psychological disorders are traced down to the unconscious mind. Freud believed that psychological disturbances are caused by problems in the unconscious part of the brain. Hence, this model aims to bring the unconscious to consciousness, so one can easily deal with it.
Interpersonal Therapy
This model of therapy maintains a healthy relationship between you and your therapist. Some individuals hesitate to talk about their concerns. However, through this approach, you can freely and safely express the issues that bother you.
Narrative Therapy
This therapy setting believes that one creates meaningful insights by sharing his life experiences. By telling others your stories, you can free yourself from the inner constricts that trouble you. Also, your listener can gain an important message and insights from you.
The Tavistock Model
This model acknowledges the primitive nature of humans. According to this therapy setting, this primitive nature lies in the unconscious aspect of humans, which affects our ability to do and think rationally. The Tavistock Model employs modern techniques to reduce the constraints brought by our primitive nature.
Group Analytic Model
Derived from psychoanalysis, the group analytic model considers the social and interpersonal functions of people. It eyes on the relationships among a certain group. By understanding how individuals in a group treat one another, experts can build a powerful tool to make the group members learn more about themselves.
