How we work

There is more than one way into the work.

Different approaches can help make sense of different parts of an experience. Avery may use one or more depending on what actually feels useful in the room.

A flexible process

The method should serve the person—not the other way around.

Anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and other experiences do not automatically point to one type of therapy. More than one way of working may be useful at different moments.

These pages explain the methods in ordinary language so you can know what they are, what they might look like, and whether any of them sound useful to you.

You are allowed to say when something does not fit.

Avery pays attention to how you respond to the process, not just the concern you walked in with. A method can be useful, changed, or set aside as the work develops.

Questions and feedback are part of therapy here. You do not have to pretend an exercise helped just because it has a name.
