Types of Therapy

At Nourish to Flourish, we do not believe in a one-size fits all approach when it comes to your health and nutrition. We listen to your concerns and consider your medical conditions and lifestyle preferences to find the most appropriate method of arriving at your nutritional goals. Here are some of the types of therapy methods we use during our sessions:

Known as talk-therapy, CBT is most commonly used to treat mental health conditions and emotional concerns. It is goal-oriented, as our team helps you take a close look at your thoughts to determine how they influence your actions toward food, exercise and body image. Through this concept, you learn to change your way of thinking that might normally lead to bad eating habits.

A type of CBT, Dialectical Behavior therapy is used for those who feel emotions more deeply. It helps with unhealthy, problematic behaviors to control negative thoughts and teach people ways to develop new coping skills. For instance, this can be helpful for people with eating disorders because disordered behaviors can become a way to deal with upsetting feelings or relationship stressors.

This helps you stay focused in the present. Studies have shown this is an extremely successful tool used to treat certain health conditions. ACT encourages accepting unwanted and uncomfortable thoughts, emotions and sensations, potentially reducing the urge to rely on food to cope with these internal experiences.

Somatic Experiencing focuses on connecting with bodily sensations to gently release stored energy from negative events and stress. This process helps the nervous system return to balance, reducing the need for emotional eating and other coping mechanisms.
