Dr. Tirch practices Integral Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, a comprehensive form of psychotherapy that draws from Cognitive Therapy (CT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy.

These therapeutic methods have a research based perspective, and have demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of psychological problems and the alleviation of human suffering.  Dr. Tirch’s practice of Integral Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is also informed by his decades of experience with various forms of meditation and Buddhist Psychology.

Over time, this website will continue to offer informational and educational resources regarding evidence-based therapies and the ways that scientific research increasingly directs psychotherapists towards the importance of compassionate, mindful awareness in day to day life.
