Clinical Psychotherapy Services for Clients
Therapy approaches include psychodynamic and attachment theories, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work, clinical hypnotherapy, and equine assisted psychotherapy. Other modality/interventions include meditation, relaxation and stress reduction techniques, sound therapy, breath work, and spiritual oriented processing.
All treatments are informed by trauma neurobiology. Focused attention is given to regulating certain regions of the brain and nervous system to promote healing and integration at the deepest level. This foundation is utilized with all clients regardless of the presenting problem. Instead of learning cognitive coping skills neurobiology interventions target the very root of dysregulation regardless if the client is experiencing anxiety, depression or a severe stress reaction.

Personal &Professional Growth and Development
Services are offered both in-person and virtually for mental health providers, coaches, teachers, medical staff, first responders, and equine professionals.
Many professions have mandatory ongoing education credits for certification renewal that focus on professional development. However, given the current climate in society professionals are stretched to their limits with caring and helping others. "Self-care" is more than "downtime" or balancing work and family - we need more focused time and energy on understanding and getting more connected with ourselves and building durability while healing the burdens we carry.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
The EMDR Institute explains that "EMDR facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences to bring these to an adaptive resolution. Affect distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced". This approach helps to heal emotional material that keeps a person "stuck" in old behavioral and belief patterns. EMDR can be used with a wide variety of presenting problems. This is a fast approach to move the client forward as quickly as possible; it has been said that "20 minutes of EMDR therapy is worth 5 hours of talk therapy".
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnotherapy is a powerful technique that assists the client to identify connections with their current state of distress and trace it back to the source of the negative belief and behavioral response associated with the specific problem they are experiencing. By utilizing regression techniques and having a dual awareness of the adult and the child the client is able to transform their understanding of events which allows clients to break re-enactments and unhealthy behavioral patterns. Clinical hypnotherapy is a closed-eye process with deep relaxation to help the client access the suppressed material. This technique is very different from hypnosis; everything is remembered and client is in full control of the process. Results include an increased understanding of self and situations and a healing of old wounds that talk therapy cannot seem to reach.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Everyone has an internal family; the core self, and other parts or aspects of self. Due to circumstances in life “inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us”. Identifying and working with these activated parts help to heal the whole person from longstanding issues. IFS is a non-pathologizing treatment meaning that every aspect of self is important and needs to be heard and understood. The IFS institute explains that “IFS is a transformative, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal by accessing and loving their protective and wounded inner parts.” Connection within ourselves leads to connection with others with the goal of permanent healing.
Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to access and release unexpressed emotions and energy in the body. It assists in healing fixed physiological states that impair functioning and resiliency. This is a gentle approach in addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms and dis-ease from emotions suppressed in the body.
