Clinical Framework & Cultural Research
Our metamodern approaches integrate effectively with evidence-based modalities detailed in our psychology and research section. We draw on research from UC Berkeley, NYU, and Yale University to address the cultural factors contributing to modern psychological distress.
By combining narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we help clients build “epistemic resilience” in a post-truth culture.
