Services
Trauma Counseling
Specialized trauma counseling addresses early developmental trauma, complex PTSD, and chronic stress through evidence-based modalities. Our approach integrates somatic experiencing and mindfulness to resolve emotional dysregulation, helping clients reclaim agency and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and dissociation. Tailored interventions support nervous system regulation and foster resilience for lasting healing.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) resolves trauma by releasing trapped survival energy through body-oriented techniques. This method addresses fight/flight/freeze responses, chronic pain, and emotional overwhelm by restoring physiological balance. SE promotes embodiment, reduces hypervigilance, and enhances relational capacity through gentle renegotiation of traumatic memories without retraumatization.
Mindfulness Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy cultivates present-moment awareness to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity. Drawing from Eastern traditions and ACT principles, we teach clients to observe thoughts nonjudgmentally, develop emotional tolerance, and align actions with core values. This practice enhances psychological flexibility and supports sustainable behavioral change for improved well-being.
E-Counseling
Secure telehealth sessions provide accessible mental health support across Ohio. E-counseling offers flexible scheduling for individuals and couples through HIPAA-compliant platforms. This service removes geographical barriers, accommodates busy schedules, and maintains therapeutic continuity through real-time video sessions while ensuring privacy and professional standards.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy addresses relational challenges through trauma-informed frameworks and communication skills training. We help partners navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and establish healthy boundaries using somatic and mindfulness techniques. Sessions focus on enhancing emotional attunement, resolving past wounds, and creating collaborative relationship dynamics for long-term satisfaction.
