Services
Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy addresses anxiety, depression, and trauma through personalized treatment plans. We integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques with insight-oriented approaches to foster emotional regulation and self-awareness. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies while exploring root causes of distress in a supportive environment.
Addiction Recovery
Specialized addiction treatment combines 12-step methodology with trauma-informed care. We address both behavioral and substance addictions through relapse prevention planning, craving management, and co-occurring mental health treatment. Personal recovery experience informs our practical, compassionate approach to sustained sobriety.
Relationship Counseling
Emotionally Focused Therapy helps couples rebuild trust and improve communication. We address betrayal trauma and attachment wounds while teaching Gottman-developed conflict resolution skills. The goal is creating secure, lasting connections through vulnerability and empathetic understanding.
Parenting Support
Circle of Security Parenting programs improve caregiver-child attachment. We address behavioral challenges through evidence-based strategies that reduce family stress while promoting emotional development. Sessions focus on realistic techniques for managing tantrums and fostering secure relationships.
Trauma Therapy
EMDR therapy resolves traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation. We specialize in processing childhood trauma and adult PTSD while teaching grounding techniques. This structured approach helps clients reprocess distressing events and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
