About her approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is like a mental tune-up. It helps people see the link between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. For example, if you often think, "I'm not good enough," it can make you feel sad and lead you to avoid trying new things. In CBT, Ms. Gahtori helps you identify these negative thought patterns and teaches you how to challenge and change them. This approach is practical and hands-on, giving you skills to manage issues like anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on positive changes in your thinking and behavior.
​​
Inner Child Healing
Inner Child Healing is about going back to your childhood to address unresolved issues. Think of it as comforting and understanding the younger version of yourself who might still be hurt or scared. Ms. Gahtori guides you in exploring these past experiences, helping you heal old wounds. This process involves recognizing how these childhood events affect your current feelings and behaviors. By reconnecting with your inner child, you can develop healthier coping mechanisms and emotional responses, leading to personal growth and healing.
​
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) helps you be kinder to yourself. Many people are their own worst critics, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and distress. In CFT, Ms. Gahtori teaches you how to develop self-compassion, which means treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a friend. This approach reduces self-criticism and builds emotional resilience, helping you handle life's challenges with a more balanced and forgiving mindset.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often called tapping, combines talk therapy with acupressure. You tap on specific points on your body while discussing your issues. Ms. Gahtori shows you how to do this, which helps reduce emotional distress and physical tension. EFT is particularly effective for managing stress, anxiety, and trauma. The tapping helps calm your nervous system, allowing you to process emotions and reduce their negative impact on your well-being.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt Therapy focuses on the here and now. It's about becoming aware of your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and understanding how they fit into the larger context of your life. Ms. Gahtori helps you recognize patterns in your behavior and emotions, encouraging you to take responsibility for your actions. This approach fosters self-awareness and personal growth, enabling you to live more authentically and make more conscious choices.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages you to accept your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It's about living in the moment and committing to actions that align with your values. Ms. Gahtori helps you understand that it's okay to have negative thoughts and emotions; the key is not to let them control your life. ACT teaches you mindfulness skills to stay present and guides you in making meaningful changes that reflect what's truly important to you.
Grief and Trauma Therapy
Grief and Trauma Therapy addresses the emotional pain of loss and traumatic experiences. It's a safe space where you can process your feelings and find paths to healing. Ms. Gahtori supports you in navigating the complex emotions that come with grief and trauma, helping you understand and work through your pain. This therapy helps you rebuild your sense of self and find ways to move forward, honoring your experiences while fostering resilience and recovery.
