What Types of Therapy Does Guiding Kindness Therapy Offer?

Guiding Kindness Therapy offers support for individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents navigating emotional challenges and life transitions. Services focus on relational, trauma-informed care that supports emotional understanding, resilience, and meaningful change across different stages of life.

1. Intake

Therapy begins with an initial conversation focused on understanding what brings you in and what you’re hoping to work through. This first step helps establish comfort, clarify goals, and determine the best therapeutic fit moving forward.

2. Assessment

As therapy continues, your therapist works with you to better understand emotional patterns, relationships, and past experiences that may be influencing the present. This collaborative process helps shape the direction and focus of therapy over time.

3. Treatment

Ongoing sessions provide space to explore emotions, relationships, and challenges using a relational and trauma-informed approach. Treatment is tailored to individual, couple, or family needs and may shift as goals evolve and new insights emerge.

4. Integration

As awareness grows, therapy supports integrating insights into daily life, relationships, and decision-making. This phase focuses on applying what’s been explored in sessions to real-world situations in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.

5. Follow-Up and Ongoing Support

Therapy may continue as ongoing support during life transitions or periods of stress. The pace and structure of sessions are adjusted collaboratively, allowing care to remain responsive to changing needs over time.
