Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support individuals on their journey towards recovery. Our approach is tailored to each person's unique needs, and we take a "bottom-up" approach to individual treatment. We begin by calming and relaxing the nervous system, allowing us to then focus on stabilizing emotional reactions and boosting cognitive functioning. From there, we work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that incorporates a variety of specialties and treatment approaches.

Some of the services we offer include:

Meditation and Relaxation Training: We provide training in mindfulness-based relaxation techniques to help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote overall well-being.

Integrative Mental Health Nutritional Guidance: Our experts will work with you to explore the relationship between diet and mental health, providing guidance on how small changes to your diet can have a big impact on your mental well-being.

Dynamic Mindfulness: This approach uses movement to shift your response from fight, flight, or freeze to rest and restore, resulting in increased focus, stronger stress resilience, and improved overall wellbeing.

Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP): This innovative approach uses specially filtered music to create a safe and calming environment, allowing you to begin the healing process.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is an evidence-based treatment approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma.

Neurofeedback: This approach allows you to directly train your brain to function more efficiently by rewarding the brain for changing its activity to a more appropriate pattern.

Expressive Therapy: Our expressive therapy services may incorporate art, music, dance/movement, drama, poetry/creative writing, play, and sand-tray therapy within the context of counseling.

Positive Psychology: This approach focuses on cultivating your own natural strengths and providing a framework for moving forward in life after healing from past trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a common type of talk therapy that focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and developing personal coping strategies.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): MBCT combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.

Certified Trauma Recovery Coaching: Our certified trauma recovery coaches provide guidance, support, and tools to boost confidence, build esteem, and strengthen daily practices of self-care and well-being.
