Practicing our values
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”― Carl Gustav Jung
“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me”― Carl R. Rogers
“Not why the addiction but why the pain.”― Gabor Maté
“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”― Carl Gustav Jung
“Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.”― Sigmund Freud
““The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.”― Alfred Adler
““The best way out is always through.”― Robert Frost
“I am encouraging you to be courageous, look hard, and identify your usual response. It’s the one that pops out before you have taken a breath. This is the response that can trap you in a vicious cycle of disconnection with the person you love best.” ― Sue Johnson
“What is most personal is most universal.”― Carl R. Rogers
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”― Carl Gustav Jung
At Inner Compass, we use evidence-based practices and tools from different types of therapy in order to fit our clients' unique needs and personalities.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Client Centered, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (couples, individual, family), Solution-focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness-based therapies, Somatic therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Psychodrama.
Please see the "Teams" page to look for what each clinician has been trained in and likes to use.
Learning to provide ethical and evidence-based therapy does not stop after our initial training. We call it a "practice" because a therapist never stops learning and growing both personally and professionally, so that we can meet you where you are and support you in your goals.
