Sugar Pine Counseling offers several therapy approaches, including EMDR, play therapy, CBT, DBT, somatic-based therapy, and person-centered therapy.

EMDR is a structured, non-invasive therapy approach used to help people process trauma and other distressing experiences. EMDR may be used for concerns such as PTSD, panic attacks, phobias, depression, stress, worry, performance anxiety, eating disorders, and negative beliefs about self or others.

Play therapy is a form of counseling that helps children express emotions, process experiences, and build coping skills through play-based techniques.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a therapy approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, is a skills-based therapy approach that can help with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

Somatic therapy is an approach that considers the connection between mind and body and may help clients process stress or trauma through awareness of physical sensations and nervous system responses.

Person-centered therapy is a collaborative approach that supports clients in working toward their own goals, with the therapist offering empathy, respect, and support throughout the process.
