Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps resolve trauma and anxiety through bilateral stimulation techniques. This evidence-based approach uses guided eye movements or tapping to reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. Clients experience improved emotional regulation and reduced symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and phobias through structured sessions that leverage the brain's natural healing processes.
Havening Techniques
Havening uses gentle touch and eye movements to calm the nervous system and alleviate emotional distress. This neuroplasticity-based method creates delta waves similar to deep sleep, helping clients release trauma without reliving painful memories. Particularly effective for anxiety and complex trauma, Havening promotes emotional resilience through non-invasive, self-soothing techniques that clients can integrate into daily life.
Hakomi Therapy
Hakomi combines mindfulness and body awareness to address trauma stored in physical patterns. This gentle approach explores present-moment experiences to uncover protective strategies from past trauma. Through compassionate inquiry and somatic interventions, clients develop greater self-awareness and release long-standing emotional blocks, fostering improved emotional regulation and body-mind connection.
Anxiety Treatment
Specialized anxiety treatment utilizes trauma-informed modalities to address panic attacks and chronic worry. By combining EMDR, Havening, and mindfulness techniques, therapy targets both cognitive and physiological symptoms. Clients learn practical tools for nervous system regulation, breaking cycles of hypervigilance and catastrophic thinking while building sustainable coping mechanisms for long-term symptom management.
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling addresses complicated bereavement through compassionate, somatic-informed care. Therapy helps clients navigate emotional pain while honoring individual mourning processes. Using gentle trauma resolution techniques, sessions focus on integrating loss experiences while maintaining connection to loved ones, supporting clients in rebuilding meaningful post-loss identities.
