At Amy Fowler Therapy, we recognize the uniqueness of every individual client and use an eclectic approach to therapy by utilizing the best techniques from many evidence-based therapy modalities. These include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a widely recognized approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT empowers women to develop healthier cognitive processes and improve their emotional well-being.
• Solution Focused Therapy (SFT): SFT is a short-term, goal-focused approach which helps clients focus on solutions rather than problems. It is a future-oriented, hope-friendly modality for motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
