Trauma Treatment
Specialized trauma therapy addresses both single-incident and complex relational trauma using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches. We help clients process traumatic memories while developing grounding techniques to manage symptoms like hypervigilance and emotional flashbacks. Treatment focuses on rebuilding trust in relationships and restoring emotional regulation through evidence-based interventions tailored to each client's needs.
Eating Disorder Therapy
Comprehensive treatment for anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorders combines appetite awareness training with cognitive-behavioral techniques. We address underlying emotional triggers while helping clients develop healthier relationships with food and body image. Therapy incorporates mindfulness practices and trauma-informed care to support long-term recovery and improved self-esteem.

DBT-informed skills training teaches effective emotion management through mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques. We help clients identify emotional triggers, develop self-soothing strategies, and improve communication patterns to reduce impulsive behaviors and build emotional resilience in challenging situations.
