Integrative Therapy is a flexible and personalized approach to counseling that blends techniques from multiple therapeutic models to best meet your unique needs. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method, integrative therapy draws from proven practices tailored thoughtfully to support your goals, personality and life experiences.

This approach recognizes that no single method works for everyone. It honors the complexity of being human and offers a holistic path to healing, whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, identity exploration or personal growth. Integrative therapy promotes self-awareness, emotional balance, and lasting change by treating the whole person-mind, body and spirit.

By working collaboratively with an integrative therapist, you’ll experience a warm, adaptable and responsive process that evolves with you-helping you make sense of the past, navigate the present and move confidently into the future.

Parts and Subpersonalities Work

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Views the mind as made up of different “parts” (e.g., inner critics, protectors, exiles) and promotes healing by helping the Self lead with compassion and clarity. Especially effective for trauma, inner conflict and identity work.

Narrative and Creative Therapies

• Narrative Therapy – Helps clients re-author their stories and shift limiting narratives.

• Art Therapy – Uses creative expression as a means of healing and self-discovery.

Christian/Biblical Worldview

• Combining Biblical Worldview with Modern Therapy - Licensed counselors who identify as Christian and who received their counseling education at a Christian university, such as Liberty University, have received additional training in counseling with a Biblical worldview lens and are qualified to offer counseling services utilizing modern therapeutic modalities with a Christian/Biblical worldview, if the client is interested.

  A biblical worldview in counseling acknowledges the authority of Scripture and God's nature as the foundation for understanding human problems, motivations and healing. This approach views people holistically—body, mind and spirit—recognizing that spiritual issues, such as sin, can be root causes of many struggles. It values repentance, spiritual growth and the transformative power of God's grace, often incorporating practices like prayer, Scripture reading and encouraging engagement with a local church to promote long-term change and spiritual maturity. 

  If you are interested in incorporating a Biblical worldview into your treatment, we encourage all clients to discuss their preferences and ask questions regarding their counselor’s beliefs, during the consultation or first session to make sure they are a good fit.

• Considerations and boundaries

  • Ethical practice: Ethical and well-trained integrative counselors respect client autonomy and do not impose their beliefs. They seek informed consent and are transparent about their approach, ensuring therapy remains a place of healing, not religious persuasion.

  • Tailored approach: The degree of integration can vary. Some clients prefer an "implicit" approach, where the counselor's faith subtly influences their compassionate and empathetic presence, while others prefer an "explicit" approach, with open discussion of spiritual issues and direct use of scripture.
