Specialities

  • Trauma Therapy

    Seeking trauma therapy involves confronting painful memories and navigating overwhelming emotions, creating emotional challenges. Building trust in the therapeutic process and finding the right, empathetic therapist are essential aspects of the journey towards healing.

  • EMDR Therapy

    EMDR is a psychotherapy technique aimed at processing and reducing the emotional impact of traumatic memories. It involves guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to help individuals focus on distressing experiences. The goal is to facilitate the natural processing of memories, making it particularly useful for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and phobias.

  • Therapy Intensives

    For when you want to feel better, faster, intensive sessions allow more time for processing. Think of a therapy intensive like a deep dive into your well-being. It's a more concentrated and immersive experience, giving us the time to really work through your concerns and focus on personal growth. It's like a therapy marathon, providing the space for in-depth exploration and support over a few days or a week.

  • Complex Childhood Trauma

    Therapy for Complex Childhood PTSD provides a safe space for individuals to process prolonged trauma, employing tailored approaches like trauma-focused therapy and CBT to address emotional regulation and distorted self-perceptions. The therapeutic process aims to cultivate healthier coping mechanisms, improve relationships, and foster resilience, contributing to positive changes and healing for those dealing with the complexities of childhood trauma.
