Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps reprocess traumatic memories by stimulating brain activity through guided eye movements. This therapy reduces the emotional charge of past experiences, allowing clients to develop healthier perspectives and coping mechanisms. It effectively addresses PTSD, anxiety, and depression by targeting the root causes of distress.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy combines ketamine administration with guided therapy sessions to treat treatment-resistant depression and trauma. The process involves six initial sessions followed by integration work, leveraging ketamine's neurochemical effects to facilitate rapid symptom relief and long-term emotional healing when paired with psychotherapy.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Using evidence-based techniques like Emotion-Focused Therapy, this service helps partners understand relational patterns, address past wounds, and develop healthier ways of connecting to foster mutual growth and satisfaction.
Psychological Testing
Psychological testing evaluates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to diagnose conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, or personality disorders. As a Licensed Psychological Examiner, this service provides accurate assessments for treatment planning, accommodations, and forensic or career counseling purposes.
Energy Work
Energy work, including Reiki, promotes emotional and physical healing by balancing the body's energy systems. This non-invasive modality reduces stress, enhances relaxation, and supports overall well-being by channeling universal life force energy to areas of imbalance or blockage.
