What kinds of therapy do we offer? A comprehensive guide

Choosing a therapy method can be overwhelming — especially when you’re unsure which one best fits your specific needs.

In this article we look at five prominent approaches that we offer: behavioral therapy, schema therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, trauma therapies and systemic approaches. We look at what each means, where their strengths lie and whether they might be suitable for your concern.

Behavioral therapy

The main focus of behavioral therapy is identifying unfavorable behaviors and replacing them with positive ones. It has proven especially effective in treating anxiety disorders and depression.

Schema therapy

Schema therapy combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with other forms of psychotherapy and focuses on unconscious patterns. This method is particularly effective in treating personality disorders and suitable for people struggling with deeply rooted, complex emotional problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT teaches you to accept painful thoughts and feelings instead of avoiding them, and encourages committed action in line with personal values. ACT is extremely flexible and can be applied to various mental disorders — especially for people who are willing to take a more active role in their therapy process.

Trauma therapies

Trauma therapies focus on coping with and processing traumatic events. These methods are particularly effective for people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other trauma-related disorders.

Systemic approaches

This approach views the individual in relation to their social environment and the systems they are part of. It is particularly well suited for family and couples therapy or for problems with a social background.

Each of these approaches has its own strengths and areas of application — and none requires you to lie on a couch. That belongs to the past. What matters is finding a method that suits your individual needs. A personal consultation helps determine the best approach for you.
