Some therapy methods Allius Counsellors use in individual counselling sessions

*Note: not all of these methods are used by all counsellors, it depends on the training they have received. If you are interested in a specific method please specify which one during your intake call.

Lurline specializes in offering brief trauma methods, typically consisting of 1-5 sessions. These methods have a robust research foundation, demonstrating consistently positive results in resolving trauma and emotional over-activation often associated with the issues clients bring to therapy. Options such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), The Flash Technique, and Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) are available to help process difficult feelings, losses, traumatic events, or challenging relationships.

Additionally, we have extensive expertise in the area of separation and divorce. If you are grappling with issues related to separation, divorce, co-parenting, or family court, we have supported numerous clients through this particularly challenging transition.
