Savera MEDICAL & PSYCHOLOGY

ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)

A practical, mindfulness-based approach that helps you stop getting stuck in difficult thoughts and emotions. Instead of trying to eliminate them, you learn to relate to them differently — so they have less control over your actions.


ACT builds psychological flexibility, helping you stay grounded, reduce avoidance, and take meaningful steps toward what matters most — even when things feel hard.


Commonly used for: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Chronic Pain

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

A structured, eye-movement–based therapy that helps reduce the impact of distressing memories without requiring detailed verbal processing. Instead of repeatedly revisiting the past, the focus is on changing how the memory is stored and experienced.


Using guided eye movements and imagery techniques, ART helps decrease symptoms like hypervigilance, flashbacks, and emotional overwhelm. Many individuals notice meaningful symptom relief in a relatively short number of sessions.


Commonly used for: Addiction, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Phobias, Panic Attacks, and Acute Stress Disorder

Behavioural Activation (BA)

A practical, action-focused therapy that targets the link between behaviour and mood. When mood drops, people often withdraw — BA helps you gradually re-engage in meaningful, structured activities that improve energy, motivation, and overall functioning.


By building consistent patterns of activity, BA helps reduce avoidance, increase a sense of accomplishment, and restore momentum in daily life.


Commonly used for: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia), and Grief/Loss

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. CBT helps you identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced, realistic ways of responding.


Using practical strategies and skill-building, CBT reduces emotional overwhelm and improves day-to-day coping, helping you feel more in control of your reactions and decisions.


Commonly used for: Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Phobias, Insomnia, and Substance Use Disorders

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-Enhanced (CBT-E)

A specialized form of CBT designed to address eating-related concerns and the link between self-worth, body image, and eating patterns. It focuses not just on food behaviours, but on the underlying beliefs that maintain them.


CBT-E helps reduce rigid food rules, body image preoccupation, and cycles of restriction or overeating. The goal is to support more flexible eating patterns and a more stable, balanced sense of self.


Commonly used for: Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Body Image Concerns


Potential Diagnoses: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

A structured, evidence-based therapy for trauma that focuses on how an event has shaped beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. It helps identify and shift unhelpful patterns that keep you feeling stuck.


CPT targets common trauma-related beliefs such as guilt, mistrust, and loss of safety or control. By working through these, it helps reduce PTSD symptoms and supports a more balanced, grounded sense of self.


Commonly used for: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Trauma

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

A skills-based therapy that focuses on balancing acceptance and change. DBT teaches practical strategies across four areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.


It helps manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviours, and improve relationship stability. The goal is to build greater emotional control and more consistent, effective ways of responding to stress.


Commonly used for: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Emotional Dysregulation, and Chronic Suicidality

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

An attachment-based therapy that focuses on patterns of emotional connection in relationships. EFT helps identify recurring negative cycles and the underlying needs for safety, closeness, and responsiveness that drive them.


It supports improved communication, reduced conflict, and stronger emotional bonds by helping individuals and couples respond in more open, effective ways.


Commonly used for: Relationship Distress, Attachment Injuries, and Social Anxiety

Executive-Function Coaching

A structured, skills-based approach focused on improving organization, time management, and task initiation. It helps translate goals into clear, manageable steps.


Coaching targets challenges such as procrastination, disorganization, and difficulty sustaining focus by building practical systems and consistent routines. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and improve follow-through in daily life.


Commonly used for: ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

A structured, evidence-based therapy for OCD and related anxiety conditions. ERP involves gradually facing anxiety triggers while learning to resist compulsive behaviours.


Over time, this reduces anxiety, increases tolerance for uncertainty, and weakens the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. The goal is to help you respond more flexibly without relying on rituals.


Commonly used for: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Specific Phobias

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

A structured, research-based approach to improving relationship functioning. It focuses on strengthening connection, managing conflict more effectively, and building shared meaning between partners.


The Gottman Method helps reduce patterns like frequent conflict, emotional distance, and communication breakdown. Couples learn practical skills to improve communication, repair conflict, and rebuild trust and stability.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

An approach that integrates mindfulness practices with evidence-based therapy. It focuses on increasing present-moment awareness and developing a more balanced, non-reactive relationship with thoughts and emotions.


Mindfulness-based approaches help reduce stress, rumination, and emotional reactivity by strengthening awareness and regulation skills. The goal is to support a more stable, grounded day-to-day experience.


Commonly used for: Anxiety, Relapse Prevention for Depression, and Stress-Related Disorders

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

A collaborative, non-judgmental approach that helps strengthen motivation for change. It is particularly useful when you feel stuck or unsure about shifting a behaviour.


MI focuses on exploring your own values and reasons for change, supporting greater clarity, commitment, and follow-through over time.

Commonly used for: Substance Use Disorder, Addiction, and Health or Lifestyle Change

Narrative Therapy

An approach that focuses on how personal stories shape identity and experience. It separates you from the problem, helping you examine and rework unhelpful narratives.


Narrative Therapy supports improved self-understanding, reduced self-criticism, and a stronger sense of agency by highlighting strengths, values, and alternative perspectives.


Commonly used for: Depression, Identity Concerns, and Trauma

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

A neuroscience-informed approach that focuses on how the brain processes and maintains chronic pain. PRT helps retrain the brain to interpret bodily sensations more accurately, particularly when pain persists without ongoing tissue damage.


Using techniques such as somatic tracking and safety reappraisal, PRT helps reduce fear-based responses to physical sensations and break the cycle of pain and avoidance.


Commonly used for: Chronic Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Migraines, Neck Pain, and Other Forms of Primary (Neuroplastic) Pain

Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO-DBT)

A specialized form of DBT designed for individuals who tend toward overcontrol, including perfectionism, rigidity, and emotional inhibition. It focuses on increasing openness, flexibility, and social connection.


RO-DBT helps reduce social isolation, excessive self-control, and difficulty expressing emotions. The goal is to support more authentic engagement, adaptive responding, and stronger interpersonal relationships.


Commonly used for: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Chronic Depression, Anorexia Nervosa, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)

A short-term, goal-oriented approach that focuses on building solutions rather than analyzing past problems. It emphasizes existing strengths and small, practical steps that support change.


SFBT helps reduce overwhelm and increase momentum by identifying what is already working and expanding on it. The goal is to build confidence, clarity, and forward progress.


Commonly used for: Adjustment Disorder, Life Transitions, and Workplace Stress

Somatic-Informed Practice

An approach that integrates awareness of the body into psychological treatment. It focuses on how stress and trauma are experienced physically, and how increasing body awareness can support regulation and recovery.


Somatic-informed work helps reduce physical tension, emotional reactivity, and disconnection by building skills in noticing, interpreting, and responding to bodily signals. The goal is to support greater regulation, safety, and connection between mind and body.


Commonly used for: Trauma, Anxiety, Chronic Stress, and Somatic Symptom Presentations

Trauma-Informed Care

A clinical framework that recognizes how trauma can impact emotional, cognitive, and physical functioning. It emphasizes safety, choice, and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.


Trauma-informed care helps reduce overwhelm and reactivity by pacing treatment appropriately and avoiding approaches that may feel intrusive or destabilizing. The focus is on building trust, supporting regulation, and creating a sense of control within therapy.


Commonly applied for: Trauma, Anxiety, Emotional Dysregulation, and Complex Clinical Presentations
