Therapy With Us
We believe story telling is the foundation of connecting to yourself & others.
Specializations
S.T.O.R.Y.™ based narrative therapy- “The Story Always Wins”
Repeating self- defeating patterns? Feelings of shame & disconnection? Struggling with perfectionism? Fear of failure? We use elements of the work of thought leaders like Jeffery Young (schemas) and Brene' Brown (shame/ vulnerability/ worthiness). This can be helpful in building and changing perspectives, identifying patterns and stories we carry around, and working towards being more authentic.
TRAUMA & ABUSE
We are a trauma specialty practice. All counselors are trained in Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF- CBT) and other trauma resolution/ recovery work, and some are also trained or certified in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy that can treat trauma. Many are also trained in the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method™ (TCYM), which encourages mind/ body reconnection. People tend to find this helpful if they have trouble staying grounded, or want to become more comfortable in their bodies and sitting with their emotions. Even if you don’t have a history of trauma, these trainings ensure we are more attuned to the ways that any painful experience can impact you lifelong, and are prepared to help you clean up the debris.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Most of our clinicians have years of experience in substance use treatment. We see clients after they complete inpatient care, those in long- term recovery, or those that are sober curious. We also work with family members of those actively abusing substances, or in recovery. We also have staff able to conduct DOT assessments as a QSAP for return- to- duty requirements of Department of Transportation.
MAJOR LIFE ADJUSTMENTS
We can help with dealing with current life changes, or the aftermath of major adjustments. This could be geographic moves, divorce, graduation, death, career changes, etc. Seeking therapy for adjusting to big changes can be helpful for processing and validating emotions, and getting objective outside feedback.
