Our Approach

HOPE therapists bring different ways of understanding emotions, relationships, trauma, development, and change. Across the practice, approaches include attachment-based, relational, psychodynamic, parts-informed, emotion-focused, somatic, cognitive behavioral, and trauma-informed work. Work with children and families may include play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

Several approaches have dedicated pages because clients often have questions about what they are and what a session may involve. Wendy and Sarah use EMDR. Wendy and Eva use Brainspotting. Trauma-Focused CBT, play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy are part of Wendy's work. These approaches are options within individualized counseling, not requirements or promises about results.

You do not need to select a method before reaching out. A therapist can learn about your concern, explain how they work, discuss readiness where relevant, and answer questions. Care remains collaborative and shaped around your goals. Sessions are available in person in Roseville and by secure video while you are located in California.

The pages below describe each featured approach in plain language, identify the HOPE therapists who use it, and explain what a session may include. They are a starting point for questions, not a way to decide what your care must look like before meeting a therapist.
