Eclectic Therapy

Eclectic therapy is a highly personalized therapeutic approach tailored to meet the individual client’s needs. It combines a variety of treatment orientations, techniques, and philosophies to create a custom program. Rather than adhering to a specific therapeutic approach, an eclectic therapist is flexible, using whichever techniques work best for a client. An eclectic therapist will usually balance listening and advice giving, as well as use all techniques that are available to them to treat their clients as successfully as possible. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s eclectic therapy specialists today.

My therapeutic style integrates multiple modalities. I believe that our styles must align with the needs of our clients.

— Dr. Elyssa Helfer, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

I valued YOUR individuality and Eclectic therapy blends relevant evidence-based treatments to create a highly individualized treatment plan to meet YOUR needs. Eclectic therapy integrates your values, your goals, and your personality with treatments that are accommodating, flexible, and dynamic. Rather than utilizing rigid treatment protocols, an Eclectic approach tends to feel safe, relaxed, and catered to you. This balance supports personal growth with a validating, comfortable vibe.

I don't believe therapy is “one size fits all.” Over 20 years in the field, I've developed a large toolbox & we’ll pull out different strategies/techniques as we need them: existential, CBT, art, internal & external family systems, couples/relational, play... and my very own modality– TALKyoga©: a unique integration of classic talk therapy (a.k.a. psychotherapy, counseling, therapy) with yoga & meditation/mindfulness techniques. Together we'll get creative & come up with the best plan for YOU.

That usually consists of a variety of different strategies in order to treat each person as unique individuals.
