Our Therapy Services
If you are reading this, perhaps you are facing a personal situation—whether it be in a relationship, at work, or within your family—that is causing you frustration, distress, or anxiety. You are searching for solutions to help yourself feel better, and you want something in your life to change.
As therapists, we can help by offering you a safe space to work through difficult experiences and complicated relationships. We are here to help you face the reality of past events without getting stuck, reduce your symptoms, and reclaim your life. Our job is not to judge, but to listen to you and help you navigate your way through your difficulties.
Our therapists incorporate traditional psychotherapeutic modalities—psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, strength-based and narrative—with mindfulness-based practices, somatic (body-based) therapies, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Family Systems.
We specialize in treating trauma, co-dependency, work stress, life transitions, domestic violence, family conflict, depression, anxiety, parenting, and relationship challenges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy
people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.

Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(TF-CBT)
TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a treatment that has proved successful with children and adolescents (ages 3 to 18) who have significant emotional problems (e.g., symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, fear,
anxiety, or depression) related to traumatic life events.

Somatic Experiencing®(SE™)
Somatic Experiencing® is a body-centered therapeutic approach to treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related symptoms.
Somatic Experiencing® was developed by trauma therapist Dr. Peter Levine in
the 1970s. It's based on a combination of physiology, psychology, neuroscience, and other disciplines.
The focus of Somatic Experiencing® is the body's natural responses to trauma, rather than just the thoughts and emotions associated with it. SE™ engages people to notice and work through bodily sensations that stem from distressing events or experiences.
The idea that traumatic experiences can disrupt the nervous system is what Somatic Experiencing® is based on. This disruption can prevent people from fully processing the trauma they experienced. Somatic Experiencing® can help change the sensations associated with the trauma, which in turn can allow a person to start to heal.
Somatic Experiencing® is used in a variety of professions, including psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, and physical therapy.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals process and resolve traumatic experiences through elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement techniques similar to those used in Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR).
The general process for ART starts with the client visualizing distressing memories while having guided eye movements. The eye movements help reduce the intensity of these memories, which in turn helps individuals reframe their experiences, achieve a sense of relief, and heal quicker than in traditional therapies.
The faster healing that comes with ART means that fewer visits are usually needed, making ART an appealing option for anyone looking for effective and efficient treatment for trauma, anxiety, phobias, and other mental health concerns.
