Our Approach

At Rain To Shine, we prioritize a client-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. Our therapeutic methods are grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy. We remain flexible and open to incorporating creative and innovative techniques that resonate with our clients.

We also utilize the RAIN Technique, a mindfulness-based approach to managing overwhelming emotions:

  • Recognize what is happening: Identify your current feelings and thoughts.

  • Allow the experience to be as it is: Accept your emotions without trying to change them.

  • Investigate with kindness and interest: Explore your feelings with curiosity and care.

  • Nurture with non-identification: Understand that your thoughts and emotions do not define you, and practice self-compassion.
