Emotionally Focused Therapy is the most effective model for lasting relational change. Recognized by the American Psychological Association for its efficacy, studies have shown 70% success rate in couples recovering from relationship distress after EFT therapy. Missy is also trained and certified in Brainspotting. “Brainspotting is effective for a wide variety of emotional and somatic conditions. Brainspotting is particularly effective with trauma-based situations, helping to identify and heal underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression and other behavioral conditions. It can also be used with performance and creativity enhancement. Brainspotting gives the therapist access to both brain and body processes. Its goal is to bypass the conscious, neocortical thinking to access the deeper, subcortical emotional and body-based parts of the brain.” Taken from www.brainspotting.com Missy is directional in her therapy approach. She doesn’t just sit and listen to couples fight nor does she do all the talking. She gives practical steps from a plan developed together with you to give you a roadmap and direction. Healthy marriages, great parenting and helping hurting people are not only Missy’s vocation but also her passion. She enjoys walking along side of people 20 years old and up in helping them achieve a healthy, peaceful and fulfilling life. It’s her goal to provide compassion, safety, and direction for people who have come to the end of their rope with overwhelming life circumstances or have been hurt by others and need to find help, hope and healing. Missy incorporates Christian doctrine into her sessions if this is a desire of yours.
