Modalities
Our practice specializes in treating individuals and we utilize the following modalities to meet our clients' needs:Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
This is BYDAND’s foundational lens. See Our Process. Navigating life’s adversities requires a profound sense of flexibility and a commitment to aligning actions with values. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) fosters psychological flexibility, helping individuals embrace life’s challenges with a more adaptable and open mindset.
Bowen Family Systems
Bowen Family Systems Therapy, or BFST, is an innovative approach to family therapy that focuses on the family unit as an emotional system. Developed by Dr. Murray Bowen, this therapeutic approach aims to nurture change and development within the family system, emphasizing the interconnectedness of family members and helping them navigate their relationships more healthily.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
DBT is a cognitive-behavioral approach imbued with the core dialectical philosophy that embraces balance and integration. It’s about synchronizing acceptance and change, cultivating the capacity to be present, tolerating distress with grace, managing and navigating emotions, and building enriching interpersonal connections.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy method that uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain.
Exposure Therapy
Fear often shadows our potential, inhibiting joy, exploration, and the fullness of life. Exposure Therapy emerges as a beacon of transformation, offering a pathway from the shadows of fear to the light of freedom and confidence.
Internal Family Systems/Parts Work
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, also known as Parts Work, is a transformative and evidence-based model of psychotherapy that helps individuals heal by accessing and nurturing their inner resources.

ACT transforms the experience of chronic pain into a journey of purpose and adaptability.
Depression
We understand the social stigmas that come with the label of being depressed and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological, and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a very dark time in their lives.
Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders are not merely about food. They are complex conditions that often require comprehensive therapy to navigate through the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects involved.
