Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and places the client’s goals and perspective at the center of care. It helps clients feel heard and respected while exploring personal values, emotional needs, and practical steps forward.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic experiences and aims to reduce trauma-related symptoms while building coping resources. It supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, complex reactions to abuse, and difficulties that follow critical incidents.
