Our Care Approach

At Neighbors Counseling, we understand that challenges, from everyday stress to deep trauma, are part of being human. With nearly 70% of adults experiencing adverse events, the pressures of finances, school, and relationships lead to anxiety, depression, and conflict. These reactions are normal and not signs of personal failure. 

​

This perspective in therapy aims to balance emotions, thoughts, behaviors, personality, and relationships through two key approaches:

​

1. Top-Down (Cognitive/Solution): Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to change thought patterns and solve problems.

​​

2. Bottom-Up (Somatic/Body-Based): Employing Somatic Experiencing (SE), (EMDR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Poly Vagal Theory to address the body and nervous system, establishing regulation before cognitive processing.
