Services
Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy addresses trauma and emotional distress through body awareness, integrating mindfulness and nervous system regulation. Our practitioners use techniques like Somatic Experiencing to release stored tension, helping clients with PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. This approach emphasizes the connection between physical sensations and psychological health, fostering resilience and self-compassion through embodied healing practices.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma Therapy specializes in resolving PTSD and complex trauma using evidence-based modalities like Somatic Experiencing and NARM. We focus on nervous system healing to address symptoms such as hypervigilance, numbness, and emotional dysregulation. By processing stored trauma in a safe environment, clients regain emotional stability and rebuild trust in themselves and relationships, achieving lasting recovery from developmental or acute trauma.
Couples Counseling
Couples Counseling employs PACT and DARe methodologies to improve communication, attachment security, and intimacy. Sessions address conflicts, infidelity, and emotional disconnection by exploring how past experiences shape relational patterns. Through body-based techniques, couples learn to regulate their nervous systems together, fostering deeper connection and resolving recurring cycles of conflict in both in-person and virtual settings.
Transpersonal Psychology
Transpersonal Psychology integrates spiritual exploration with mental health care, addressing existential questions and transcendent experiences. This modality supports clients navigating spiritual emergence, existential crises, or seeking meaning beyond traditional frameworks. By combining mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic awareness, we help individuals connect with their inner wisdom and cultivate a sense of purpose aligned with their values.
Addiction Counseling
Addiction Counseling offers a holistic approach to recovery, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual roots of addictive behaviors. Using somatic techniques and trauma-informed care, we help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms for cravings and triggers. Our practitioners guide individuals through self-compassion practices and nervous system regulation to break cycles of dependency and foster sustainable, substance-free living.
