Our Therapeutic approaches & Perspectives

While many of us can share similar experiences, we understand each person, couple, and family brings a distinctive set of events and challenges.  Our aim is to understand you and what makes you unique in the context of your universal experiences, needs, and desires.  We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy treatment, and therefore, we draw from the following therapy models and perspectives when working with our clients. 

Also, Concentric offers group trainings to our Therapists. Here are some of the trainings we all have participated in: Forgiveness led by Fred Luskin, Ph.D., Stanford University, Polyvagal Theory by Natureza Gabriel Kram and Stephen Porges, Ph.D., Inner Child Journeys by Robin Grille, BA (psych), Australia, Breathwork by Aimee Hartley, Certified Transformational Breath® Facilitator, UK, Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) by Jennifer Rolnick, PsyD, Chicago, Treating Complex Trauma with Internal Family Systems by Frank Anderson, MD, Concord, MA, Implicit Bias by Dr. N.
