anxiety, depression, and trauma therapy
anxiety can look like constant overthinking, physical tension, sleep disruption, or a racing mind that rarely slows down. depression may show up as low motivation, emotional numbness, or a persistent sense of heaviness. trauma, including ptsd, can leave your nervous system stuck in survival mode. through anxiety therapy, depression therapy, cbt and depression strategies, gad therapy, and trauma therapy, i work to identify the patterns driving distress.
the benefit is practical relief. clients learn emotional regulation therapy skills that reduce reactivity, calm the body, and increase focus. you gain tools to manage stress without shutting down or spiraling. over time, this leads to steadier moods, improved decision-making, stronger boundaries, and a renewed sense of control. instead of feeling overwhelmed, you begin responding with intention.
marriage, couples, and relationship therapy
relationship stress can affect every area of life. couples therapy and marriage counseling at baru wellness focus on identifying repeating interaction patterns, attachment triggers, and communication breakdowns. this includes marriage counseling for infidelity, premarital counseling, and relationship counseling for couples feeling disconnected or stuck.
the benefit is clarity and improved communication. partners learn to slow down conflict cycles, understand underlying emotional needs, and rebuild trust. relationship pattern therapy helps you stop replaying the same arguments and start having productive conversations. many couples report feeling heard for the first time in years. the outcome is not just fewer fights, but deeper connection, stronger teamwork, and a healthier emotional foundation for long-term stability.
obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) therapy
obsessive compulsive disorder can be exhausting. intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and constant mental checking can take over your day. ocd therapy at baru wellness focuses on understanding the anxiety cycle beneath obsessive compulsive disorder and building tolerance for uncertainty.
the benefit is freedom from constant mental negotiation. you learn how to reduce compulsive responses, manage intrusive thoughts without panic, and regain time and energy previously lost to rituals. clients often report improved concentration, better sleep, and less daily stress. instead of structuring your life around fear, you build resilience and confidence in your ability to handle discomfort. that shift allows you to focus on work, relationships, and personal goals without ocd dictating your choices.
dialectical behavior therapy (dbt)
dialectical behavior therapy is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy approach that teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions. dbt focuses on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
the benefit is immediate skill-building. clients leave sessions with strategies they can apply the same week. you learn how to tolerate distress without impulsive reactions, communicate clearly under pressure, and regulate emotional swings. these tools reduce burnout, improve workplace performance, and strengthen personal relationships. over time, dialectical behavior therapy builds resilience and emotional stability. instead of reacting automatically, you respond thoughtfully. that change creates greater confidence, stronger self-esteem, and a more grounded sense of control in daily life.
pattern recognition therapy
pattern recognition therapy is a core part of the work at baru wellness. many high-functioning adults feel stuck in repeating cycles, choosing similar partners, overcommitting at work, avoiding conflict, or shutting down under stress. this approach identifies recurring emotional and behavioral patterns and links them to attachment-based therapy principles and nervous system regulation.
the benefit is insight paired with action. you begin to see why certain triggers activate you and how your automatic responses developed. with that awareness, you learn to interrupt the cycle and choose differently. clients often report feeling more self-assured, less reactive, and more aligned with their values. this leads to healthier relationships, improved boundaries, and long-term psychological wellbeing rather than short-term symptom management.
therapeutic techniques
cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt)
thoughts can be convincing—even when they’re completely untrue. cbt helps us catch the patterns that stir up anxiety, self-doubt, or shutdowns and shift them into something more helpful (and a lot less exhausting).
motivational interviewing (mi)
change isn’t about willpower—it’s about clarity. mi is all about getting curious, not judgmental. we’ll explore what you want, what’s in the way, and what actually matters to you—without pressure.
trauma-informed care
you don’t have to spill your entire life story to be seen, heard, and supported. we understand how lived experiences shape nervous system responses, and we’ll move at a pace that feels safe—not forced.
narrative therapy
we all carry stories about who we are—some empowering, some outdated, some that were never even ours. narrative work helps you sort through those scripts, figure out what’s running the show, and choose what stays. spoiler: “i’m too much” or “i have to fix everything” don’t make the cut.
pattern recognition
you’re not broken—you’re running a pattern. once you see it, you can change it. we’ll track the emotional and behavioral loops that keep repeating and figure out how to respond differently without ghosting your job, partner, or whole personality.
emotional awareness
helps you name what you’re actually feeling, understand what it means, and respond from a place of clarity—not reactivity. no overthinking, no emotional bypassing, just real awareness in real time.
somatic integration
your body is basically your emotional early warning system. the tight chest, the clenched jaw, the sudden shutdown? not random. we help you recognize those signals and learn how to respond—not with stretching and sage (though we’ve got nothing against either)—but with grounded tools that make your body feel like part of the solution, not a problem to ignore.
aligned decision-making
we make a lot of decisions based on fear, habit, or keeping other people comfortable. this work helps you build the kind of clarity and self-trust that leads to choices you won’t regret later.
parts work
you’re not self-sabotaging—you’ve just got different parts of you trying to protect you in their own weird ways. we’ll figure out who’s in the driver’s seat (and who needs a nap), so you can lead from your most grounded self.
mindfulness (the real kind)
not the kind with bells and floor cushions—just the ability to notice what’s happening inside you without immediately reacting to it. we use mindfulness to help you build awareness, pause when needed, and respond instead of spiral. no chanting required.
