There are multiple paths to change and healing, and there are many psychotherapy traditions and orientations. With a foundation in somatic (body-oriented) psychology and trauma-informed treatment, Beverly integrates multiple types of therapy based on each client’s individual needs to provide customized treatment. Some of the primary therapy approaches she uses are:

• EMDR Therapy – An evidence-based therapy technique that effectively resolves trauma as well as helps people get unstuck or make connections about things they don’t understand in their lives.
• Somatic Therapy – Somatic therapies incorporate knowledge about physiology and how the body is related to emotions and thoughts.
• Internal Family Systems – Uses concepts of different parts of people to understand hidden/underlying conflict that keeps people stuck.
• Strengths-Based therapy – Bringing attention to the strengths each person has brings feelings of empowerment, hope, and resourcefulness.
• Art therapy – Drawing, sculpting, and painting can be used to express feelings that otherwise are hidden or too shy to present themselves.
• Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT) – Thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors are all integrally linked. Specific techniques from CBT are very helpful in producing change.
• Psychodynamic therapy – Many issues can be linked back to dynamics in the family-of-origin. When appropriate, it can be helpful to explore and understand how these old patterns are still being acted out in current relationships.
