Provided by a CPS Certified Trainer
Family sessions at SHIFT use the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach to strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and build skills for deeper connection. Together, families learn to understand unmet needs, regulate emotions, and solve problems collaboratively. These sessions create a supportive space where every voice is valued, helping families grow stronger, more resilient, and more connected.
IFS Sessions
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand and heal different parts of yourself with compassion rather than judgment. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS strengthens your connection to your core Self, the calm, grounded inner leader supporting emotional balance, and lasting change. It has been shown to be highly effective for personal and relational healing, and is especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and attachment challenges, life transitions, and inner conflict.
Sandtray and Sandplay Therapy
Sandplay and Sandtray Therapy are both expressive, experiential approaches that use sand and miniature figures to support healing, but they differ in structure and intention. Sandplay therapy is a non-directive, depth-oriented method in which clients create scenes in silence within a protected space, allowing the unconscious to emerge naturally; it emphasizes inner symbolism, self-directed healing, and the therapist’s quiet, attuned presence. Sandtray therapy, by contrast, is more flexible and interactive, often incorporating therapist guidance, dialogue, and specific goals to support insight, skill-building, and emotional processing. Both approaches are especially helpful for trauma, attachment wounds, children and adults who struggle to verbalize experiences, and clients seeking embodied, symbolic pathways to healing and integration.
SSP Sessions
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based, listening-based intervention designed to support nervous-system regulation and a felt sense of safety. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and grounded in Polyvagal Theory, SSP uses specially filtered music to help regulate the vagus nerve, improve resilience to stress, and support emotional and social connection. SSP is especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, emotional dysregulation, social engagement difficulties, and challenges related to stress and overwhelm, supporting both personal healing and improved relational connection.
RRP Sessions
Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) is an innovative, clinical-grade listening therapy developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry to support deep nervous-system calming and restoration of mental and physical functioning. Informed by decades of research on physiological rhythms such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and gut function and advanced sound technology, RRP uses a scientifically engineered acoustic signal and music to promote deep relaxation and optimal recovery. RRP is especially supportive for individuals with chronic stress, significant trauma histories, functional disorders, and mental health challenges, helping them access the body’s natural resilience and restore balance, safety, and healing from within.
Perinatal Support
Perinatal support focuses on emotional well-being during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years, offering compassionate care during a time of significant physical, emotional, and identity change. Informed by best practices from Postpartum Support International (PSI), this approach supports individuals and families navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy and infant loss, mood changes, relationship stress, and adjustment to parenthood. Perinatal support emphasizes safety, connection, and evidence-based care, helping parents feel understood, supported, and empowered as they heal and adapt during this critical life transition.

Men’s Vitality Executive Coaching supports sustainable success by strengthening focus, emotional intelligence, decision-making, and balance, empowering men to lead with purpose, presence, and long-term vitality..
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision services provide supportive, ethical, and growth-oriented guidance for clinicians at various stages of their professional development. Supervision focuses on strengthening clinical skills, case conceptualization, ethical decision-making, and professional identity, while also attending to the clinician’s emotional well-being and use of self in the therapeutic relationship. Offered in an affirming and collaborative space, clinical supervision supports competence, confidence, and integrity in clinical practice while promoting reflective, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care.
Consulting

Our consulting approach blends clinical insight, systems thinking, and culturally responsive practices to help clarify goals, strengthen leadership, improve team dynamics, and design effective programs. Consulting services are tailored to your unique needs, offering practical guidance, thoughtful problem-solving, and actionable strategies that support growth, alignment, and long-term impact.
Trainings
