Services
Anxiety Therapy
Specialized anxiety treatment helps clients break free from chronic worry and regain presence in daily life. Our approach combines cognitive behavioral techniques with body-based therapies to address both symptoms and root causes. Clients learn to regulate nervous system responses while developing practical coping strategies for managing anxiety triggers in everyday situations.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the lasting effects of past experiences using evidence-based methods like EMDR and Brainspotting. We help clients process traumatic memories stored in the body while developing grounding techniques for emotional regulation. Our approach emphasizes rebuilding safety and trust while addressing negative self-beliefs formed through traumatic experiences.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy utilizes bilateral stimulation to reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This evidence-based approach helps clients process distressing experiences stored in the brain's limbic system. Sessions focus on developing coping skills before using targeted reprocessing techniques to resolve trauma-related symptoms and negative self-perceptions.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting accesses deep emotional processing through specific eye positions that activate stored trauma in the body. This somatic approach helps clients mindfully process difficult emotions and experiences that remain outside conscious awareness. Sessions focus on locating and processing physical manifestations of emotional distress to achieve lasting healing.
Telehealth Sessions
Virtual therapy sessions provide accessible mental health care through secure video conferencing. This option maintains the same therapeutic quality while offering flexibility for clients with scheduling challenges or mobility limitations. Telehealth sessions follow the same evidence-based approaches as in-person appointments while ensuring privacy and convenience.
