How We Help You Heal and Grow
At Aram Connection Counseling, we believe healing begins with connection. Whether you’re managing anxiety, navigating change, or rebuilding relationships, therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and create lasting growth.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care—tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about walking with you as you heal and grow. Together, we’ll help you build confidence, clarity, and balance in your daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a widely recognized, evidence-based approach for addressing anxiety, stress, and a range of emotional challenges. It focuses on helping individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action guided by personal values.
In ACT, you’ll learn to notice your thoughts and emotions without judgment, clarify what truly matters to you, and commit to actions that align with your values. Over time, these shifts can foster greater flexibility, resilience, and fulfillment in your daily life, relationships, and personal goals.
Our therapists use ACT to help clients develop mindfulness skills, build psychological flexibility, and take intentional steps toward a more meaningful, value-driven life.
In CBT, you’ll learn to notice the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions—and to replace negative self-talk or limiting beliefs with more balanced, empowering perspectives. Over time, these small mental shifts can create meaningful, lasting changes in your mood, relationships, and daily life.
Our therapists use CBT to help clients build practical coping skills, manage anxiety, and approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-known and effective approaches for addressing anxiety, depression, and a variety of emotional challenges. It focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress.
In CBT, you’ll learn to notice the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions—and to replace negative self-talk or limiting beliefs with more balanced, empowering perspectives. Over time, these small mental shifts can create meaningful, lasting changes in your mood, relationships, and daily life.
Our therapists use CBT to help clients build practical coping skills, manage anxiety, and approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a specialized form of cognitive therapy designed to help individuals recover from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma often distorts the way we see ourselves, others, and the world—CPT helps you challenge those distorted beliefs and reclaim your sense of safety and control.
During CPT, your therapist will gently guide you through identifying “stuck points”—thoughts that keep you trapped in fear, guilt, or shame—and help you reframe them with self-compassion and logic. Through this process, many clients experience reduced distress and increased emotional resilience.
At Aram Connection Counseling, we use CPT to support trauma survivors as they rebuild trust in themselves and their ability to feel grounded again.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive strategies with mindfulness and emotional regulation skills. Originally developed to help individuals struggling with intense emotions or self-destructive behaviors, DBT is now widely used to support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.
DBT helps you balance acceptance and change—learning to accept yourself and your emotions while developing new tools to respond to life’s difficulties effectively. Core DBT skills include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Our therapists create a supportive environment where clients can practice these skills, strengthen self-awareness, and build a more stable emotional foundation.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective therapy for trauma, PTSD, and other distressing experiences. It helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as vivid, overwhelming, or defining.
During EMDR sessions, your therapist uses gentle bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while guiding you through the process of recalling specific memories. This allows your brain to integrate the memory in a healthier way—reducing emotional intensity and helping you find relief from triggers or intrusive thoughts.
At Aram Connection Counseling, EMDR offers clients a structured, evidence-based path toward healing past wounds and reclaiming a sense of peace.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps clients explore and strengthen their motivation for change. Instead of telling you what to do, your therapist helps you discover your own reasons for growth—based on your values, strengths, and goals.
MI is especially effective for clients working through ambivalence about change, such as those facing addiction, anxiety, or health-related challenges. By creating a space free from judgment or pressure, MI empowers clients to find their own internal motivation and take meaningful, sustainable steps forward.
Our therapists use MI to help clients reconnect with their sense of purpose and develop confidence in their ability to create positive change.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences—particularly early relationships—shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others in the present. It’s a powerful approach for uncovering patterns that may operate outside of our awareness, such as self-criticism, avoidance, or fear of vulnerability.
In therapy, you’ll work with your therapist to bring these unconscious patterns to light, understand their origins, and begin transforming them into healthier, more adaptive ways of being. This process often leads to deeper insight, self-acceptance, and emotional freedom.
At Aram Connection Counseling, psychodynamic therapy helps clients understand themselves on a deeper level and make long-term, meaningful changes.
Human connection is essential to emotional well-being. Relational Therapy focuses on the patterns and dynamics that emerge in relationships—both in your life and within the therapeutic relationship itself.
This approach emphasizes authenticity, empathy, and mutual respect. By exploring how you relate to others (and how others relate to you), you can gain greater awareness of your needs, boundaries, and emotional responses. Your therapist provides a safe, compassionate space to experiment with new ways of connecting and communicating.
Relational Therapy is especially helpful for clients who struggle with trust, intimacy, or self-esteem rooted in past relational wounds.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a brief, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes what’s working rather than what’s wrong. Instead of spending excessive time on the problem, SFT helps you identify strengths, resources, and small steps that lead to meaningful progress.
This technique is grounded in optimism and collaboration. Together, you and your therapist will clarify your goals, recognize what’s already helping, and build on those successes to create forward momentum.
At Aram Connection Counseling, SFT empowers clients to move past stuck points, celebrate small victories, and build confidence in their ability to create change.
