Our Methods & Specialties
At Paz Mental Health, we use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to provide personalized care. Our goal is to help you overcome obstacles, heal from past experiences, and create healthier relationships.
The core therapeutic approaches we utilize in our practice:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is designed to strengthen the emotional bonds between partners, helping couples navigate conflict and rebuild trust. By focusing on emotions as a foundation for connection, this method helps couples break negative cycles and foster greater understanding and intimacy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that may be causing distress. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem, CBT equips you with practical tools to reframe your thoughts and develop healthier, more balanced perspectives.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that has been adapted to help people with a range of emotional and behavioral issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and relationship challenges
For those who have experienced trauma, we offer trauma-informed care to ensure that your therapy is sensitive to past experiences and designed to help you feel safe. This approach helps clients process their trauma at a pace that feels manageable and supports healing in a compassionate and respectful environment.
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a structured approach to couples therapy that focuses on improving communication, building trust, and increasing emotional intimacy. It’s a research-backed method that helps couples repair their relationships by addressing deep-rooted issues and fostering healthier interactions.​
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This approach teaches individuals to stay present and manage their emotions through mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing. By learning to observe your thoughts without judgment, you can reduce stress and anxiety while cultivating a greater sense of peace.​
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This method helps you move forward by emphasizing strengths and resources, guiding you to create tangible changes in a relatively short time frame.​
