Appleton, Tricia MD

Welcome to our practice, where we believe that personal growth and change are key to a more fulfilling life. As a psychiatrist and therapist, I, Tricia Appleton, M.D., have dedicated my practice to helping adults navigate the complexities of their inner experiences and the external world. With a unique blend of clinical training and personal passion, I have developed a style of therapy that is eclectic and tailored to each individual's needs.

Our Approach

At our practice, we recognize that our inner experiences have a profound impact on our external world. Through the process of self-exploration and change, we can transform our lives in profound ways. Our work together is rooted in a deep respect for the inner wisdom and healing that lies within each individual. We believe that accessing this inner wisdom is a powerful guiding principal for personal growth and change.

Services

We offer a range of services designed to support individuals in their journey towards greater emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our services include:

Individual Psychotherapy

In individual psychotherapy, we work together to explore the intricacies of your inner experiences and how they shape your relationships and the world around you. Whether you're seeking to work through trauma, develop emotional resilience, cultivate a sense of purpose, address relationship concerns, or heal from symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, depression, mood instability, dissociation, anxiety, sleep disturbance, addiction, or other challenges, we provide a safe and supportive space to explore and transform your experiences.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a powerful psychotherapy technique that enables us to access and process experiences and symptoms that may be out of reach of our conscious minds. This innovative approach engages the physiological subsystem where emotional experiences are held, allowing us to release the embedded emotional responses that can drive our symptoms and behaviors.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that has been shown to be highly effective in processing and integrating traumatic memories. Through EMDR, we can help you reprocess and consolidate traumatic experiences, reducing the distress and symptoms associated with them.

Our Philosophy

We believe that personal growth and change are intricately linked with our relationship to others, the earth, all creatures, and ourselves. Our intention is to support individuals in developing a greater sense of connection and harmony in all aspects of their lives. Whether you're seeking to deepen your understanding of yourself and others, cultivate greater resilience, or transform your relationships, we're here to support you on your journey.
