Other Therapy Approaches

Personalized care that adapts to you, not the other way around

Therapy That Is Flexible, Not Formulaic

Healing is not linear, and therapy shouldn’t be rigid. Our therapists are trained in multiple approaches and integrate them based on:

Additional Approaches We May Integrate

Compassion-Focused Therapy

Helps reduce shame and self-criticism by strengthening self-compassion and emotional safety. Especially helpful for people who feel “hard on themselves” or stuck in cycles of guilt.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Supports awareness of thoughts and emotions without judgment, helping reduce reactivity and increase presence. Often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Motivational Interviewing

A collaborative approach that helps clarify values, reduce ambivalence, and support meaningful change, without pressure or judgment. Commonly used in life transitions or substance-related concerns.

Person-Centered Therapy

Grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. This approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a key part of healing and growth.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)–Informed Work

Explores different “parts” of yourself with curiosity and compassion, helping reduce inner conflict and increase self-understanding.

Narrative Therapy

Helps individuals explore and reshape the stories they carry about themselves, their experiences, and their identity, creating space for empowerment and meaning.

Why We Use an Integrative Approach

No single therapy works for everyone. Many clients benefit most when therapy:

You Don’t Have to Know What You Need

A common concern is, “What if I choose the wrong approach?”
The good news is, you don’t have to choose.

Your therapist will:

  • Help you explore what’s bringing you to therapy
  • Recommend approaches thoughtfully and transparently
  • Check in regularly about what feels helpful
  • Adjust the approach as needed

Taking the Next Step

If you’re looking for therapy that is thoughtful, flexible, and centered on you, not a rigid model, we’d be honored to support you.

At Golden Roots Therapy, healing happens through collaboration, curiosity, and care.
