CHILDREN AND TEENS
PLAY THERAPY
In childhood, play is the language of the heart. Play therapists utilize this therapeutic approach to help individuals, especially children, prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties, promoting their optimal growth. It is particularly effective during transition periods (after a divorce or loss) and for those managing emotions, socialization, or behavioral issues.
ART THERAPY
Art therapy is a unique journey of self-discovery and healing using creative art. With the guidance of our skilled art therapists, patients explore their emotions, understand inner conflicts that are causing them distress, and embrace resolutions through the power of painting, drawing, and sculpting. Art therapy brings warmth and transformation, especially those grappling with anxiety and mood disorders. Join us in this welcoming space where your healing begins with a brushstroke.
SANDTRAY THERAPY
Immerse in the world of Sand Tray Therapy, where the tactile sensation of sand and a
carefully chosen array of miniatures becomes the language of emotions. This powerful
technique offers a safe haven for the expression of feelings, particularly beneficial for
those seeking solace from trauma and anxiety. While this approach is particularly
effective for children, we also extend its benefits to adults and couples who may find it
challenging to communicate or feel stuck. Notably, our sand therapy room features a
large sand tray filled with 125 pounds of sand, a unique offering you will find at our
practice.
ADULTS
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING
Discover the transformative potential of EMDR, a meticulously structured therapy
approach that invites individuals to gently revisit trauma memories while engaging in
bilateral stimulation. This process, often facilitated through eye movements, guides
toward reducing the intensity of emotions connected to those memories.
EMDR therapy is a successful treatment for disorders such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Step into the realm of self-exploration with CBT, a dynamic approach that empowers the
identification and reframing of negative thought patterns. Under the guidance of
therapists, individuals witness immediate positive shifts, offering fresh perspectives on
managing anxiety and depression.
INNER CHILDWORK
Take a journey through time to heal past wounds with Inner Childwork. This compelling
technique focuses on how the impact of our childhood experiences affect our thoughts and behaviors as adults. Healing takes place through nurturing and reparenting, addressing the traumas and unmet
needs of one’s younger self. It is a crucial step toward unlocking profound personal
growth.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Experience the power of acceptance and positive transformation with DBT, a form of
talk therapy tailored for those navigating emotions with intensity. It encourages embracing the authentic self, making it particularly effective for individuals facing challenges with Borderline Personality Disorder, self-harm, and severe depression.
CHRISTIAN COUNSELING
Integrate faith into the healing journey with Christian Counseling. Led by experienced
therapists, this approach seamlessly weaves Christian beliefs and values into sessions,
providing a comprehensive approach to mental health rooted in a spiritual foundation.
SOUND HEALING
Realign the body, mind, and spirit through the harmonic vibrations of Sound Healing.
Embracing the principle that emotions resonate at distinct frequencies, this
transformative session taps into the innate power of sound to address unexpressed or blocked
emotions, offering relief from trauma-related issues and anxiety disorders.
MINDFULNESS THERAPY
Awaken a deeper sense of self-awareness with Mindfulness Therapy, an empowering
talk therapy technique that guides individuals to navigate the internal landscape and
external surroundings with intentionality. By reducing automatic destructive responses and habits,
individuals uncover a path to profound well-being, benefiting both physical and mental
health.
SCHEMA THERAPY
Unearth the general themes that shape an understanding of self, relationships, and the
world with Schema Therapy, an approach rooted in early childhood development. It
addresses maladaptive schemas and gradually cultivates healthier thought patterns,
resulting in less emotional distress, improved self-esteem, enhanced relationships, and
heightened overall functioning. This therapy is particularly effective for those navigating
personality disorders, attachment disorders, OCD, PTSD, and anxiety.
COUPLES AND FAMILIES
GOTTMAN METHOD
Strengthen the foundation of relationships with the Gottman Method, a proven
technique that fosters intimacy, effective conflict resolution, and a life built on shared
meaning. Whether seeking to deepen a romantic connection or striving for family harmony, this
approach equips individuals with valuable tools.
PREMARITAL COUNSELING
Embark on a transformative 3-4 week program that delves into core beliefs,
expectations, and shared dreams. Guided by qualified therapists, individuals explore essential
topics, uncovering potential areas of growth and building a resilient foundation for the
journey ahead.
