What Is Eclectic and Integrative Therapy?

Integrative therapy is a versatile approach that draws from various evidence-based modalities to create a treatment plan uniquely tailored to you. Rather than relying on a single type of therapy, our eclectic therapists combine different techniques based on:

  • Your specific mental health concerns

  • Your personal preferences and learning style

  • Your treatment goals and desired outcomes

  • What proves most effective during your therapeutic process

This eclectic or integrative approach recognizes that healing is multidimensional and that different challenges may require different therapeutic techniques at different times.

The Core Principles of Our Integrative Approach

Our integrative therapy work is guided by several fundamental principles:

  1. Personalization: We adapt the therapeutic approach to your unique situation rather than applying the same treatment to everyone.

  2. Holistic Focus: We consider all aspects of your well-being—emotional, mental, physical health, social, and spiritual.

  3. Flexibility: Your treatment plan evolves as you progress, addressing new insights or challenges as they emerge.

  4. Evidence-Based Practice: We combine multiple techniques from scientifically validated treatments.

  5. Collaborative Partnership: You actively participate in shaping your therapy experience, with your therapist serving as a knowledgeable guide.

How Eclectic Therapy Works at Full Vida Therapy

When you begin integrative therapy with our group practice, here's what you can expect:

1. Comprehensive Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation of your concerns, history, strengths, and goals. This helps your therapist understand the full context of your experience and identify which theoretical orientations might be most beneficial for you.

2. Personalized Treatment Planning

Based on your assessment, your therapist will develop a customized treatment plan that may draw from various approaches such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for changing unhelpful thought patterns

  • EMDR for processing traumatic memories

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness

  • Person-Centered Therapy for self-discovery and growth

  • Exposure Therapy for addressing specific fears

  • Narrative Therapy for reframing personal stories

  • Relaxation Therapy for stress management

  • Trauma-Informed Therapy for healing from past wounds

  • Somatic Therapy for addressing body-held tension and trauma

  • Psychodynamic Therapy for exploring unconscious patterns

  • Sensory Therapy techniques for processing sensory information

  • Brief eclectic therapy for focused treatment of specific issues

3. Integrated Implementation

Your therapist skillfully weaves together different theoretical approaches and techniques based on what resonates with you. This might mean:

  • Using CBT techniques to address negative thinking while incorporating mindfulness practices for present-moment awareness

  • Combining narrative approaches to reframe your story with somatic techniques to release physical tension

  • Integrating interpersonal relationship work with practical stress management strategies

4. Ongoing Refinement

As you progress through therapy, your treatment plan evolves. Your therapist continually assesses what's working and makes adjustments accordingly, moving beyond a trial and error approach to find the most effective methods for your unique situation.
