Navigating the Landscape of Relationships
Relationships are at the heart of the human experience. At Wildflower, we believe that understanding how you show up in your relationships is pivotal to your mental health and over well-being. Rather than just treat symptoms and address specific challenges, we aim to dig deeper into the dynamics of your interpersonal bonds.
Through our relationship-centered approaches, we guide individuals, couples, and families on a transformative journey to understand their emotions, heal past wounds, and cultivate genuine, healthy relationships – paving the way for lasting fulfillment and meaningful connections.
Relationship-Centered Approaches We Utilize at Wildflower
At Wildflower, our relationship-centered techniques are not just methods – they are a profound exploration into the essence of what makes us human. We utilize a wide range of therapeutic modalities in individual and couples formats to help you develop or improve emotional and interpersonal skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy is a gentle approach that aims to help you understand your patterns of interacting with others in your life and modify those aspects of your interpersonal functioning that may interfere with your ability to fully experience love and closeness.
Compassion-Focused Therapy
The aim of compassion-focused therapy is to promote emotional well-being by teaching you to become more compassionate towards yourself and others.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
EFT is a highly successful form of couples therapy that examines the patterns in a couple’s relationship and helps the couple take steps to create a more secure, trusting bond.
Therapy for Highly Sensitive Persons
Highly sensitive persons (HSPs) are people who have a naturally heightened sensitivity to emotions and their environment. Our therapists are trained to provide tailored support to individuals with this trait, enabling them to harness the benefits of being highly sensitive while mitigating the challenges.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy
IPT is a brief psychotherapy for depression that centers on resolving interpersonal problems.
Relational Therapy
Relational therapy is based on relational-cultural theory and the idea that thriving relationships are essential to mental health. It focuses on how social and cultural factors impact how we relate to others.
Parenting Support
All parents need support. Psychotherapy provides a space to explore and learn from your parenting style, strengths, and challenges.
Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy intended to help individuals and couples address concerns related to sexual function and sexual satisfaction.
Gottman Method
Drs. John and Julie Gottman developed this active and highly practical approach to couples therapy which integrates research-based interventions based on the Sound Relationship House Theory to help couples manage conflict, increase a sense of connection and intimacy, and maintain loving long-term relationships.
