Services
Trauma Therapy
Our trauma-informed therapy addresses both 'Big T' and 'small t' traumas using evidence-based approaches. We help clients process traumatic memories while developing present-moment coping strategies. Our clinicians specialize in treating PTSD, adverse childhood experiences, and complex emotional distress through personalized treatment plans that integrate mind-body connections.
EMDR Treatment
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps clients reprocess traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation. This scientifically proven method effectively treats trauma, PTSD, and emotional distress by integrating traumatic experiences with autobiographical memory while maintaining present-moment safety and control.
Family Counseling
Our family therapy addresses dynamics, conflict resolution, and communication improvement. We work with diverse family structures to establish healthy rules, roles, and responsibilities. Sessions focus on improving understanding, strengthening relationships, and developing coping strategies for challenges like divorce, substance abuse, and grief.
Psychological Testing
Comprehensive assessments identify cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns through standardized testing. We evaluate conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, and dementia to create accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans that guide educational, therapeutic, and medical interventions.
Child Counseling
Specialized counseling for children and adolescents uses play therapy and sand tray techniques to express emotions nonverbally. Our clinicians address anxiety, behavioral issues, and trauma while collaborating with parents, schools, and medical professionals to create supportive environments for young clients.
