Understanding Before Action

Understanding Before Action

Having so much information at our fingertips these days can make finding the help you need more difficult. With so many solutions being touted as “the best” or “most used”, how do you know what is best for you or even when do your symptoms warrant getting professional help?

Our approach at Lifegrowth starts with getting to know you and the challenges you are facing before even considering solutions. Only after thorough observation and interaction do we explore possible treatment options. All options considered must have evidence-based solutions and achieve the outcomes you want.

We commonly use these evidence-based strategies

  • Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) helps you make sense of your feelings, handle them better, and build stronger, healthier relationships with yourself and those around you. Research has shown that EFIT can build emotional strength and resilience, and is also effective in reducing depression, relationship struggles, and trauma.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked, and how by changing the way you think, you can see changes in how you feel and behave. Studies show it is particularly effective in treating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), as well as eating disorders and chronic pain.

  • Trauma-focused therapy helps you work through the impact of difficult past experiences. It creates a safe space for you to process what happened, find healthy ways to cope, and rebuild a sense of security. This intentional process helps rewire the brain from “just surviving” to thriving.

  • Somatic Experiencing (SE) therapy focuses on how past traumatic experiences are stored in the body as physical sensations and aims to help you have a different physical connection to those memories through a gradual process of body awareness and self-regulation, helping individuals reconnect with their physical sensations and build resilience. Studies suggest it is particularly effective in addressing PTSD, depression, and physical pain associated with trauma.

  • Nutrition therapy plays a crucial role in supporting mental health by providing the necessary nutrients for optimal brain function and emotional regulation. Research shows it can enhance the effectiveness of mental health treatments for anxiety, depression, ADHD and more, while boosting long-term mental well-being.

Our therapists undergo ongoing training and regular individual or group supervision to ensure we choose an approach that best fits you and addresses the reasons you’ve come to see us.

Lifegrowth’s Approach to Counseling

Our counselors use evidence-based practices tailored to the needs of each individual. By focusing on age-appropriate strategies and involving family members when appropriate, we work together to build resilience, foster communication, and support healthy development.

Getting to Know You

We start by understanding your story—your strengths, challenges, and goals. Building trust is our top priority, making sure you feel safe and supported right from the beginning.

Creating Your Personalized Plan

Every individual and family is unique, which is why we design a plan specifically for you. We’ll work with you to set achievable goals and and figure out the best steps to take.

Evidence-Based Techniques

Our therapists rely on methods backed by research, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, somatic (body-based) interventions, emotion-focused therapy, and family systems approaches. By integrating these tried-and-true techniques, we help you overcome challenges, and encourage meaningful, lasting growth.

Building on Your Strengths

We don’t just address problems – we concentrate on enhancing your strengths and resilience. This helps you face challenges confidently and develop new skills for long-term success.

Celebrating Every Gain

As you achieve a goal, we help you recognize and celebrate your progress. Our aim is to equip you with the tools and confidence to keep thriving long after counseling ends.

Caring for the Whole You

We recognize that mental health is tied to every part of your life—your relationships, physical health, environment, and sense of purpose. Our holistic approach examines each aspect to create meaningful change.

Growing with You

Therapy is an ongoing journey, and we adapt our approach as your needs change and you grow. Whether you’re facing new challenges or growing in self-awareness, we’re with you every step of the way.
