HEALING FROM TRAUMA OFTEN REQUIRES A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Trauma has historically been identified as resulting from major incidents (sexual assault, physical abuse, witnessing violence, etc.), but now we know that trauma is much more broad. Trauma is a process that happens in the brain instead of a certain type of event. This means trauma can be almost anything that leaves a lasting impact on the neural framework of the brain.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a treatment technique that facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic experiences through bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, that helps the brain integrate distressing memories in a more adaptive way. Research shows EMDR as an effective treatment method for post-traumatic stress, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, stress, sexual and physical abuse, disturbing memories, complicated grief, addictions, and other trauma-related concerns. It is a powerful and flexible intervention that creates lasting change and improves daily functioning in both the mind and body.

BrainSpotting

Brainspotting is a treatment technique that facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic experiences through fixed eye positions that stimulate neural pathways in the midbrain. Research shows BSP as an effective treatment method for post traumatic stress, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, stress, sexual and physical abuse, disturbing memories, complicated grief, addictions, etc. It is a powerful and flexible intervention that creates lasting change and improves daily functioning in both the mind and body.

Somatic Interventions

Physical manifestations of traumatic experiences can leave us confused and hopeless. We now know that simple somatic strategies can not only alleviate discomfort but can also reset our autonomic nervous systems to help us calm the nervous system and allow us some specific, self-directed strategies to calm the nervous system and remind us how our bodies can feel in a state of relaxation. One of our somatically skilled clinicians can provide strategies that assist you to be in a better place for deeper trauma work as well as support you through the journey of trauma work.

Intensive Sessions

At times, once a week therapy is not enough to start the journey to healing. Our clinicians can offer longer, and more frequent sessions of EMDR or Brainspotting to reduce client sensitivities to past experiences and specific events. 120 Minutes for $300.00
