Our Services

Whether you need assistance with substance use, anxiety, depression, or PTSD, we offer a variety of evidence-based modalities to meet your mental health and wellness needs.

BrainSPotting

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.

Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. There is no replacement for a mature, nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage another suffering human in a safe and trusting relationship where they feel heard, accepted, and understood.

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT)

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a collaborative and strengths-based therapy approach that empowers clients to take an active role in their own change process. It focuses on solutions rather than problems, and helps clients build on their existing strengths and resources to create positive change. By emphasizing practical strategies and goal-oriented interventions, SFBT offers a time-limited and effective approach to therapy.

ACCEPTANCE & COmMitMENT THerapy (ACT)

ACT can be used as a standalone therapy or in combination with other therapeutic approaches. It is particularly effective for individuals who are resistant to change or struggle with traditional talk therapy methods. ACT can also be beneficial for individuals who have a tendency to avoid or suppress their emotions, as it encourages acceptance and exploration of these emotions as a means of growth and healing. 

ACT is a flexible and adaptable therapy that can be tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. It focuses on helping clients clarify their values and commit to actions that align with those values, despite any internal or external obstacles they may face. This approach empowers individuals to live in accordance with their values and create a more meaningful and fulfilling life. 

mindfulness-based practices

Mindfulness is the capacity to openly attend with awareness to the present-moment experience. Mindfulness is a direct taking notice of what is happening right now, regardless of whether the experience is positive, negative, or neutral. Mindfulness is also about inviting in curiosity and interest, while monitoring present-moment experience with acceptance. Meditation, breathing exercises, and relaxation exercises are common mindfulness-based practices.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is based on the understanding that individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation often have difficulty managing intense emotions and engaging in effective interpersonal relationships. 

By enhancing interpersonal skills, individuals can build healthier and more satisfying relationships, leading to improved overall well-being. DBT is typically delivered through individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation meetings.   

Overall, the multifaceted approach of DBT addresses various aspects of mental health and interpersonal functioning, empowering individuals to lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives.   

eMOTIONAL fREEDOM & TAPPING (EFT)

EFT is a well-researched, comprehensive, mind-body treatment that rapidly desensitizes unwanted thoughts, emotions and connected physical reactions. EFT goes beyond supportive counseling and is actual treatment. It’s surprising how quickly turmoil dissipates; clients are usually better in one session -even if the issue is long standing.
