When it comes to therapy, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every individual brings their own story, challenges, and goals to the process—and the right therapeutic approach can make all the difference in how healing unfolds.
At JSI Psychology, we understand that people heal in different ways. That’s why our team of experienced psychologists and mental health professionals draw from a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches, tailoring each session to your unique needs.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most widely used therapies worldwide. It focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, CBT helps you develop practical tools to change how you think, feel, and act.
Psychodynamic Therapy
This approach dives into your early life experiences and unconscious patterns that influence your present-day emotions and behaviours. It's particularly helpful for individuals who want to gain deeper insight into their relationships and long-term emotional struggles.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Sometimes we need focused, goal-oriented therapy that highlights our strengths and potential. SFBT looks at what’s working in your life and how to build on that—offering rapid, practical support for specific challenges.
Play Therapy (for Children)
Children often struggle to express complex emotions with words. Our child therapists use play therapy techniques to help children communicate through games, drawing, toys, and storytelling. This approach creates a safe, nurturing space for emotional expression and healing.
Binaural Beat Reset Therapy (BBRT)
BBRT is a cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy that works directly with the brain’s emotional memory system. It combines neuroscience with acoustical stimulation to help reprocess emotional trauma—particularly effective for PTSD, anxiety, and deep emotional blocks. It can be a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy.
Choosing the Right Approach for You
Your therapy journey should feel empowering, collaborative, and safe. Our goal is to support you with the right tools and techniques that resonate with your experiences and values. During your initial sessions, we’ll help guide you toward the approach—or combination of approaches—that fits best.
Whether you're dealing with long-standing trauma, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking more self-understanding, our team at Jenine Smith Inc. is here to walk with you.
