Introduction

We have helped hundreds of people work through deep and complicated traumas and stressors. All of our licensed therapists are trained in several evidenced based treatments such as EMDR & IFS. Each clinician is also dedicated to their own personal growth and healing. Our specialties include trauma, eating disorders, depression, anxiety and codependency. We have a passion for helping clients increase insight around their barriers to growth. Our therapists have extensive knowledge in teaching clients how to process difficult life events and increase their authentic coping skills. Our clients typically struggle with people pleasing, perfectionist patterns, over thinking, increased worry or irritation and excessively caretaking. Others suffer with self worth, feeling like an imposture, avoidance of conflict and using their voice. Often clients have painful childhoods or adult traumas that can present with upsetting thoughts or images. These symptoms can often result in destructive coping strategies such as eating disorders, codependency, isolation or outbursts. Our clients are looking to learn, heal and grow into their most authentic selves. They need to be seen, known, taught and supported. I/we believe that we all need to grow up in a safe, secure and attuned environment in order to thrive as adults. It is not necessary to place blame when this does not occur but instead understand how it affected us emotionally, mentally and physically. When adults can not be present then child develop maladaptive coping skills to numb pain, confusion and fear. Each time a current life stressor occurs, our bodies and minds can remember the past. We must have a safe environment to process the past and relearn new ways to cope with our current triggers. You are not a failure, you are not alone, you are not crazy. Trauma and difficult life events present in many forms. Shame and anxiety over these events cause us to utilize these coping mechanisms as survival techniques. Please call or email us today so that we can help you find hope and healing. Sliding Scales are available.
