As professionally trained clinicians, we offer a variety of approaches to help you reach your goals. While we may offer our training and expertise, we also recognize you are the expert of you. Throughout the process of counseling, your therapist will collaborate with you to choose the approaches that are best for you.

Each stage of life offers its own unique challenges emotionally, physically, mentally, and socially. The years of adolescence and young adulthood can be especially difficult given the developmental needs of these age groups as they move toward greater independence. We strive to value and strengthen the autonomy while expanding the network of support.

When healing from the impact of trauma, recovery means the ability to live in the present without being overwhelmed by the thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences of the past. The process of safe trauma recovery involves multiple stages based on the needs of the client. Most importantly, we want to help our clients to live in the here and now with a sense of safety and empowerment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skill-based therapy that teaches people how to live in the moment, cope with stress using healthy coping skills, regulate emotions, and improve relationships with others. Developed by psychologist Marsha M. Linehan, this specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy is helpful for people who experience intense emotional extremes which then negatively impact multiple areas of life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an eight-phase therapeutic treatment that identifies and addresses experiences that have overwhelmed the brain’s natural ability to process and cope with distressful experiences.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centered approach developed by Pat Ogden that aims to treat the somatic symptoms of unresolved traumatic events. While traditional talk therapies begin with language as the entry point for treatment, this type of therapy depends on the physical experiences of the individual in the present moment as the entryway to awareness and improved mental health.

Anxiety is the mind and body's natural reaction to stressful, dangerous, or unfamiliar situations. A certain level of anxiety helps us stay alert and aware, but for many people the worry and fear are out of proportion to the events occurring in the present moment. On the other end of the continuum is depression. When a person is depressed, the body “shuts down”, leaving a person to feel intense sadness, disconnection, and hopelessness.

Living includes facing the reality of loss – the death of loved one, the end of a significant relationship, or the loss of a job. In grief counseling, we will help you to understand what normal grief looks like, provide tools for working through the pain of grief, and offer support as you begin to take steps toward acceptance and moving on. Our goal is not to fix you but instead be with you in your pain.

Our therapists are professional clinicians with a Christian faith background. For those who desire an integration of spirituality and psychology, we offer clinical interventions that weave the two together. We value the spiritual journey of each person and commit to providing an inviting and non-judgmental space for people to explore who they are in relationship to themselves, others and God.
