Confidential and compassionate counseling is offered for adult individuals. Each client is unique, and treatment plans are tailored to meet individual needs and goals. Counseling is provided in a safe, caring environment with special attention given to the client's culture and values. We believe clients are the experts on their own lives and see our role as coach and collaborator. We are here to help clients explore their inner world, work through their difficulties, and discover their authentic, peaceful, happy selves. We provide traditional psychotherapy and EMDR therapy.
EMDR Therapy Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people get to the root of their symptoms and heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Through the use of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (alternating pulses in the palms), EMDR taps into the brain's natural healing ability to resolve unprocessed traumatic or distressing memories that drive current symptoms. It is a wholistic approach that transforms negative thoughts (I am not good enough, I am not capable, I am unloveable), eliminates distressing feelings (fear, anger, sadness) and relieves uncomfortable body sensations (tight chest, nervous stomach) associated with difficult past experiences and present triggers. EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue and can often be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies. EMDR is one of the most researched therapies and is recognized as an effective treatment for PTSD by the American Psychiatric Association, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs/Dept. of Defense and the World Health Organization among others. It is the most efficient treatment for trauma. Learn more about EMDR. Session Fees
