Treatment Approach
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: We take a overall relational approach to therapy, believing that healing happens within relationship and therefore we emphasize a safe, secure, and nonjudgemental space in which there is freedom to speak freely and openly about experiences both outside and inside of therapy. We are trained in varying evidenced based trauma treatment modalities including EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and DBT.

Bonfire Healing uses a three-factor approach to personalized trauma healing:
Building and maintaining a strong therapeutic relationship: Emphasizing a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and connected environment with clear boundaries. Therapists commit to their own ongoing work to ensure they show up in a regulated way for clients.
Assessing and implementing coping and life skills: Providing clients with practical "tools" for coping, including internal resourcing, grounding, and communication skills. They use skill-based modalities like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Processing trauma safely and effectively: Utilizing a consent-driven approach where the client decides the pace and method of processing. Therapists are trained in leading trauma treatment modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing (SE).
We look forward to connecting and sharing in the healing journey together.
