Theoretical Approach

At SJM Psychology we pride ourselves in integrating evidence-based treatments to promote change and help you live your best version of a values-based life. Our work is client-centered and flexible to the unique and individual needs of every person. We greatly value the therapeutic relationship and focus on building a trusting and safe environment in order to help you grow. Primary modalities used in our work are:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)*

  • Mindfulness and compassion approaches

    * Although we incorporate DBT strategies into our work with clients, we do not offer a comprehensive DBT program at the current moment.
