modalities (in addition to somatic psychotherapies)

As a psychotherapist, beyond my orientation as a body-centered psychotherapist, I also draw from the following modalities, which I feel are important to mention here: 
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Spiral Dynamics
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Gestalt Therapy 
  • Dynamic Attachment Repatterining experience (DARe) by Diane Poole Heller

As a trauma-informed therapist, I am also rooted in the work of ~ 
  • Judith Herman
  • Joan Shapiro and Margaret Grant
  • Peter Levine and Somatic Experiencing
  • Pat Ogden and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

And from the large area of Neuroscience ~
  • Dan Siegel and Interpersonal Neurobiology
  • Stephen Porges and Polyvagal Theory 

And, lastly ~ 
  • Existential Psychology (Yalom, Frankl, Bugental, Van Deurzen)
  • Grief Counseling (Kubler-Ross)
