How we work
Our approach to therapy
Our therapists are trained in approaches with real support behind them. You do not need to know the acronyms. What matters is that your therapist chooses methods that fit you, and explains them along the way.
Good therapy is not one technique applied to everyone. Your therapist listens first, then draws on the methods that fit what you are facing, and adjusts as you go. Here are the approaches you will hear about at Stillwater, in plain language.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A practical, present focused approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions shape one another, and gives you tools to shift the ones that keep you stuck.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
A structured, well researched therapy for trauma that helps the brain process difficult memories so they lose their sharp edge and stop intruding on the present.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
A mindfulness based approach that helps you make room for hard feelings rather than fighting them, and take steady steps toward what genuinely matters to you.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
An approach for couples, and for individuals, that works with the emotions and attachment needs underneath conflict to rebuild a more secure connection.
Family Systems Therapy
A way of understanding a person within their relationships, looking at the patterns a family or couple falls into rather than searching for a single cause.
Psychodynamic Therapy
A reflective approach that explores how earlier experiences and unspoken patterns shape the present, so lasting change comes from genuine understanding.
Not sure which is right for you?
You do not have to choose. Tell us a little about what is going on, and we will help match you with a therapist whose approach fits. The method matters less than the person you build it with.
