Areas of Expertise
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used during sessions and is a form of psychotherapy that is goal-oriented. CBT is designed to help individuals change their perspectives, patterns of thinking and behaviors. CBT allows individuals to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and the functions of their behaviors.
Cognitive Restructing
Cognitive Restructuring is a technique used to help individuals change their thinking patterns and internal beliefs. Individuals can identify thoughts and behaviors that evoke distress and then challenge and replace them with more accurate and positive thoughts as well as actions to help reduce overall negativity.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy is a key piece of truly learning about oneself. Psychodynamic Therapy explores childhood thoughts and experiences to help uncover patterns of thoughts and behaviors that often stem from one's past. These discoveries help individuals to make sense of their present-day to day and become more forgiving of themselves.
Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition Therapy consists of one-on-one sessions with Michelle Wright, RD. In these sessions, Michelle provides an open dialogue for individuals to review their eating patterns, goals, and struggles. Michelle helps clients become in tune with their hunger cues and nourish themselves comfortably and safely.
Yoga Therapy
Therapeutic yoga is an inherently holistic approach to health and well-being. It integrates the body, mind, and soul and can offer support for emotional and physical tension. When combined with counseling, yoga therapy can also foster deeper self-awareness, self-regulation, and well-being.
Equine Therapy
Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy is practiced through the HEAL model. This restorative practice helps the client remodel emotions and meaning while expanding their emotional tolerance and capacity for healthy relationships. It allows the client to work on boundaries, insecurities, strength, empowerment, awareness, and acceptance.
Our Approach
At Authentic You, we value every client and believe they deserve to be heard. As a team, we do not think anyone's struggles define them, but instead, make them stronger and help promote self-growth.
Every component of Authentic You was designed with our clients in mind. It is a calm, safe space where individuals can work on becoming the best version of themselves. More specifically, the space allows clients to have individual and family therapy. We are also excited to be able to offer yoga and equine therapy for clients seeking additional therapeutic modalities.
Authentic You's nutrition program also allows clients the option to snack, prepare meals, practice intuitive eating, and have one-on-one or family sessions with the dietitian. Lastly, clients who attend therapy and work with the dietitian have the ability to have joint sessions with both providers to better meet each client's needs.
