Specialized Therapeutic Approaches
Imago Relationship Therapy
Ithaca Counseling offers specialized care utilizing Imago Relationship Therapy, a form of couples therapy that focuses on transforming conflict into opportunities for healing and growth. This approach helps couples develop deeper connections and transform their relationship dynamics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Our practice also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a goal-oriented approach that focuses on addressing and challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is effective in treating a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
Person-Centered Therapy
In addition, we provide person-centered therapy, a non-directive approach that emphasizes the client's innate capacity for personal growth and healing. This therapeutic approach creates a supportive and empathetic environment for clients to explore their experiences and find their own solutions.
