EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) helps clients reprocess traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based therapy effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and distressing life experiences by activating the brain's natural healing processes. Recognized by major mental health organizations, it enables faster resolution of emotional wounds compared to traditional talk therapy alone.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting accesses deep emotional trauma through specific eye positions that connect to stored memories in the brain. This innovative mind-body approach effectively treats chronic pain, trauma, and performance issues by releasing limiting beliefs and behaviors. The technique harnesses the brain's natural capacity for self-healing and reorganization.
Sex Therapy
Specialized therapy addresses sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues, and relationship challenges through a combination of traditional counseling and mind-body techniques. This approach helps clients overcome performance anxiety, low desire, and traumatic sexual experiences while improving communication and emotional connection with partners.
Trauma Counseling
Comprehensive trauma treatment combines EMDR, Brainspotting, and talk therapy to address both recent and historical emotional wounds. This integrative approach helps clients reframe negative self-perceptions, reduce anxiety symptoms, and develop healthier coping mechanisms for lasting emotional stability and personal growth.
Workshops
Structured 10-session women's sexuality workshops based on Dr. Lonnie Barbach's seminal work. These small-group settings provide education on sexual physiology, practical exercises for self-exploration, and peer support in a safe environment to address common sexual concerns and enhance intimate relationships.
