Couples, Family, & Individual Therapy - Scottsdale, AZ
Therapeutic Modalities
At Sonoran Sky Family Therapy, we believe in a personalized and individualized approach to therapy. We understand that each couple, family, and individual comes with their own unique experiences, dynamics, and backgrounds. Our goal is to honor these differences and tailor our interventions to meet your specific needs. By integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities, we ensure that our approach is comprehensive and effective. Below are some of the key modalities we utilize:
-
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding the deep-rooted emotional and psychological forces that influence a person's behavior and feelings. This approach explores past experiences, unresolved conflicts, and unconscious motivations to gain insight into current issues. In the context of couples and families, psychodynamic therapy examines the relational patterns, attachment styles, and intergenerational dynamics that affect interactions and relationships. By bringing these hidden elements to the surface, individuals, couples, and families can better understand their emotions and relationships, leading to lasting change and personal growth.
-
Attachment-Based Therapy is a therapeutic approach grounded in attachment theory, which explores the impact of early relationships and bonding experiences on an individual's emotional development and functioning. This therapy focuses on understanding and healing disruptions in attachment that may have occurred in childhood, affecting current relationships and behaviors. The therapist helps clients identify and process past attachment wounds, fostering secure and healthy relationships. Techniques often include exploring family history, enhancing emotional regulation, and building trust and communication skills. Attachment-Based Therapy is particularly effective for addressing issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.
-
Relational psychoanalytic therapy emphasizes the importance of relationships in shaping an individual's psyche. This approach focuses on the therapeutic relationship as a primary vehicle for change, highlighting the mutual and dynamic interaction between therapist and client. It explores how past relational experiences influence present behaviors and relationships. In couples and family therapy, relational psychoanalytic therapy examines the interconnectedness of family members and partners, aiming to uncover and address the underlying relational patterns and emotional wounds that impact their interactions. By fostering a deeper understanding of these dynamics, this therapy helps individuals, couples, and families develop healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
-
Neuroscience-informed psychotherapy emphasizes the profound role that relationships play in shaping an individual’s emotional and psychological landscape. This approach uses the therapeutic relationship as a primary catalyst for change, underscoring the dynamic and reciprocal interaction between therapist and client. By integrating insights from relational psychoanalytic therapy and neuroscience, we explore how past relational experiences and the brain’s adaptive responses to them influence present behaviors and relationships. In couples and family therapy, neuroscience-informed psychotherapy delves into the interconnectedness of partners and family members. It uncovers the underlying relational patterns, emotional wounds, and neurological pathways that impact interactions. By fostering a deeper understanding of these dynamics and their neurological roots, this therapy helps individuals, couples, and families develop healthier, more adaptive relationships and promotes lasting emotional well-being.
-
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative and non-pathologizing form of psychotherapy that views individuals as separate from their problems. It focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and seeks to help them re-author these narratives in a more empowering way. Narrative Therapy emphasizes the importance of understanding and reshaping personal stories to create a sense of agency and meaning. Therapists work with clients to explore the dominant narratives that influence their behavior and identity, identify alternative stories, and highlight moments of strength and resilience. This approach is particularly effective in addressing issues related to identity, trauma, and relational problems.

In your first session, we’ll start by reviewing the “fine print of therapy” — things like confidentiality and how sessions work. I’ll also begin gathering background information to better understand your history and goals for therapy. Intake sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes to provide plenty of time and space to discuss your history, concerns, and goals. It’s a very collaborative process, where we’ll work together to ensure that your therapy plan aligns with your needs and expectations.
