Services
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing addresses trauma by resolving bodily stored stress through regulated nervous system responses. This body-oriented approach helps clients process developmental trauma, chronic stress, and PTSD symptoms. Sessions focus on renegotiating survival responses to restore emotional balance and social engagement.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness techniques cultivate present-moment awareness to manage anxiety and depression. Clients learn non-judgmental observation of thoughts and sensations, enhancing emotional regulation. This practice integrates with other therapies to improve resilience and conscious decision-making.
E-Counseling
Secure HIPAA-compliant video sessions provide accessible mental health care across Ohio. E-counseling addresses time constraints and transportation barriers while maintaining therapeutic interaction. Sessions use encrypted technology for privacy during individual and couple therapy sessions.
Community Workshops
Workshops cover stress management, communication skills, and mindfulness practices for schools and organizations. These programs promote mental wellness through interactive learning. Topics include boundary setting, values clarification, and resilience-building strategies for diverse groups.
Trauma Counseling
Specialized trauma therapy addresses developmental and complex trauma effects through personalized treatment plans. Techniques include nervous system regulation and cognitive restructuring to process traumatic memories. The approach emphasizes safety and gradual exposure to build emotional resilience.
