A foundational idea driving the Greywood program arose from recognition of an ever increasing number of effective psychotherapeutic modalities. The elements of these varied psychotherapies heavily overlap but very often with distinct terms, explanations, and instructions, all of which can create confusion when bundled into a more standard, ‘multi-modal’ PHP / IOP. A Greywood pillar is thus to simplify the process.

Starting with fundamental science building blocks has provided a currency for translating between historically separate therapeutic traditions. Our transtheoretical integration has channeled myriad evidence-based therapeutic approaches into an innovative format and distilled a powerful, streamlined program.

Theoretical orientations embraced and refined by the Greywood Approach include CBT-derived schema, dynamic, psychodrama, and narrative. Concepts emphasized in increasingly mainstream modalities such as DBT and ACT also permeate our model. Finally, meditation and mindfulness principles, especially of the Vipassana (insight) tradition, feature prominently amongst the influences on our program.
