Rebuilding Safety and Reclaiming Your Life

​

Trauma profoundly alters lives, leaving survivors grappling with insomnia, loss of appetite, hyper-vigilance, isolation, flashbacks, and more. These symptoms can create a pervasive sense of fear and danger, keeping the nervous system perpetually on edge and making one feel unsafe. Our unique practice in nontraditional modalities focuses on reducing trauma symptoms, calming the nervous system, cognitive processing, and activating the right hemisphere to promote holistic, full-brain healing. 

Our compassionate approach aims to rebuild your sense of safety, foster resilience, help you regain control, and create a life you love.

Navigating the Complex Emotions of Loss

Losing someone can be one of the loneliest and most devastating events, often leaving people feeling angry, whiplashed, breathless, and numb. Grief counseling provides a supportive space for individuals to navigate the intensely painful emotions associated with loss. We help clients process their experiences, hold space for their pain, and find ways to cope with this new reality. Coming to terms with loss might seem like an impossible challenge, and life has forever changed, and this journey is not linear and is highly individual. Supportive therapy can help soothe this immense pain and offer a breath of air. Whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, a significant life change, or any other form of grief, our therapy services aim to provide comfort and relief.

Rebuilding Self-Worth and Purpose

​

Religious abuse can profoundly impact an individual’s sense of self-worth and purpose, affecting many aspects of life. This abuse may arise from controlling environments, distortions of personal value, and altered perceptions of life’s meaning. Our holistic approach combines talk therapy, creative expression, and experiential activities to address the unique challenges of religious trauma. We guide clients in understanding their experiences, reclaiming personal beliefs, creating healthy relationships, rebuilding identities, forging new pathways to understanding, and embarking on a journey of deep, meaningful healing. This dynamic approach fosters profound transformation, helping clients reconcile and redefine their life on their terms.

Discover the Power of Hands-On Healing

​

Sandtray therapy offers a unique, hands-on approach ideal for both children and adults to explore emotions and experiences. Using miniature figures and a tray of sand, individuals can create scenes that help unfold and process intra- and interpersonal issues. Unlike traditional talk therapy, sandtray therapy allows clients to express themselves non-verbally, which can be especially beneficial for those who have experienced trauma and loss. This approach can bypass the difficulties of articulating painful experiences and provide a visual and tangible means to process and understand them. Sandtray therapy promotes empowerment, resilience, and adaptability, uncovering deep-seated feelings and processing non-verbal cues.

Unlocking the Healing Power of Imagination

​

Creative expressive art therapy is a whole-brain therapeutic approach that helps clients discover new insights beyond traditional talk therapy and harnesses the healing power of creativity to process emotions, experiences, and enhance various skills such as problem-solving, communication, and self-regulation. Through various art forms such as painting, drawing, and sculpture, clients gain new perspectives on their current or past situations. The focus is on the process of creating rather than the artistic value of the produced work. This approach encourages insight, emotional release, and personal growth, providing a brave space for healing from trauma, grief, and other life changes.

Empowering Children Through Play

​

Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate, child-centered therapeutic approach that uses play to help children express their emotions and experiences on their level, allowing them to communicate feelings and ideas they may not yet have the words to express. Through play, children can process trauma, navigate grief, and work through behavioral issues in a brave and supportive environment. Play therapy encourages healthy emotional development, fosters trust, and builds coping skills that can have long-lasting positive effects. Our therapists are trained to interpret the behaviors, themes, and patterns in a child’s play, guiding them toward healing and emotional resilience.

Healing Through Exploration

​

Adventure and experiential therapy offer dynamic, hands-on approaches to mental health, utilizing outdoor activities to address trauma, abuse, and loss. As an alternative to traditional counseling, these therapies focus on resolving primary concerns, increasing skills such as problem-solving, communication, and self-confidence, and fostering authentic healing. 

Activities such as walking, kayaking, and swimming provide safe, structured environments for personal growth. According to Gass, Gillis, & Russell (2012), adventure therapy “engages clients on cognitive, affective, and behavioral levels.” Our therapists guide clients through these experiences, promoting trust and emotional resilience.

Personalized Support for Your Healing Journey

​

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy, provides a one-on-one setting to address unique needs and goals. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques like Trauma-Focus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to create the positive life changes you are looking for. This collaborative process helps individuals manage emotions, build healthier relationships, and foster better self-care practices. We tailor sessions to support issues such as grief, trauma, abuse, anxiety, and depression focusing on holistic healing to develop coping strategies, build resilience, and achieve personal insight. With our support, individuals can make the changes they are seeking.

Strengthen Family Connections & Foster Understanding

​

Parental coaching aims to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within families. Our approach addresses issues such as behavioral challenges, relational dynamics, grief, and trauma. We focus on helping parents understand and respond to their child’s needs, fostering a connective environment. Through evidence-based, collaborative conversations, we guide parents in modifying approaches that are mutually beneficial for both the parents and the child. This strategy helps families navigate challenges, build stronger connections, and promote a healthier family dynamic. Our specialized method supports parents in addressing stressors, ultimately enhancing their child’s well-being and family cohesion.
