Psychotherapy

Our Approach

HEALING ORIENTED VS PATHOLOGY-BASED

At JP Family Therapy, we are trauma-informed, attachment-oriented, mindfulness-based, and educated in interpersonal neurobiology. We believe that change best happens relationally through a felt experience, not simply through insight and behavior.


Our outpatient therapy services provide a way for you to experience a renewed sense of self and inner connection by deliberately facilitating conscious evolution into a deeper level of knowing. This applies for changing the dynamics between you and your partner, your family members, and with yourself - one that is sacred and special. 


Using evidenced-based therapies are important and are necessary in ensuring that progress is made in therapy. In fact, JP family therapists have taken extensive training in modalities such as Transformative Couples Therapy (TCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Hypnotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

Transformative Couples Therapy: Fulfillment Through Connection

At JP Family Therapy, we are hopeless romantics who deeply believe in the power of Transformative Couples Therapy (TCT) to unlock the love and connection we all long for. Formerly known as AEDP for Couples, TCT offers a uniquely positive and deeply effective approach to strengthening relationships by creating a space for truth-telling, honesty, and emotional intimacy.

What makes Transformative Couples Therapy so special? It goes beyond just healing—it helps you and your partner develop, evolve, and envision a future filled with confidence, connection, and fulfillment. Each session brings an afterglow, leaving couples feeling reinvigorated, seen, known, and deeply loved.

The greatest gift of TCT is experiencing a profound, co-created sense of love and partnership. It strengthens your capacity to both give and receive love in ways that are authentic, meaningful, and transformative.


Somatic Psychotherapy: Healing By Reunification of the Mind, Body, & Spirit

Somatic Psychotherapy is a holistic approach that integrates the connection between the mind and body to support emotional healing and personal growth. This therapeutic method recognizes that trauma and stress are often stored in the body and can manifest as physical tension, chronic pain, or emotional dysregulation. By focusing on bodily sensations, movement, and physical awareness, somatic psychotherapy helps clients uncover and release deeply held patterns. Techniques such as breathwork, mindfulness, and body-oriented exercises are used to process emotions, reduce anxiety, and foster resilience. This approach empowers individuals to reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotions more effectively, and cultivate a sense of safety and balance

AEDP: Harnessing the Power of Emotion for Healing & Growth

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a healing-oriented, emotion-focused approach that aims to help individuals transform pain and suffering into resilience, growth, and emotional well-being. Grounded in attachment theory, AEDP creates a safe, compassionate therapeutic environment where clients can explore and process difficult emotions and experiences. Through moment-to-moment tracking of emotions and bodily sensations, AEDP helps clients access core emotional states, process unresolved trauma, and uncover their innate capacity for healing.

By focusing on the healing potential within each individual, AEDP empowers clients to move beyond pain and trauma, enabling them to experience greater self-awareness, connection, and emotional freedom.
