Services
Psychodynamic Therapy
Our psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences shaping current behavior. This approach helps clients understand deep-seated emotional issues through therapeutic relationship dynamics. By examining recurring themes, clients gain insight into self-defeating patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
EMDR Treatment
EMDR therapy addresses trauma by reprocessing distressing memories through bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based approach helps clients reduce emotional distress and develop positive associations. We use EMDR to treat PTSD, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related conditions with measurable symptom reduction.
Couples Therapy
Our couples therapy focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts through emotional attunement. We help partners understand relationship patterns and develop healthier interaction styles. The process builds empathy and strengthens emotional connections through structured therapeutic interventions.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines psychedelic treatment with traditional therapy for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. This intensive approach addresses depression, anxiety, and PTSD through neuroplasticity enhancement. We provide structured sessions integrating ketamine experiences with therapeutic processing for lasting change.
Trauma Recovery
Our trauma recovery program addresses complex PTSD and developmental trauma through integrated modalities. We combine EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to process traumatic memories safely. The treatment focuses on building emotional regulation skills and restoring personal empowerment.
