Therapeutic Modalities
Our clinicians use various modalities and approaches in the therapeutic setting. Traditional "talk therapy" according to most research is not productive in helping clients change their lives.
Psychoeduation
We provide a space to explore symptoms and create insight and self compassion for what you are expereincing.
Attachment Focused
The therapeutic relationship is imporant in creating a safe space to heal. Our clinicians are focused on building healthy connection within the therapy setting.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy
EMDR is an 8 Phase approach to healing. This type of therapy is researched based and can be very effective.
Play Therapy
Play is how children learn.
Play increases cognitive, emotional
and social development in therapy.
Play therapy with younger children
using our emotionally focused
approach can help children grow and make progress in therapy.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy & Somatic Experiencing
Making the connection between thoughts, feelings and body sensations helps create awareness and a level of self compassion. The mind and body connection is important to healing.

EMDR Therapy Videos
The videos on this page are a good starting point to understand EMDR Therapy. This is not a "magic wand" or quick fix. The 8 Phase application from a competent clinician is the best option, especially for clients presenting with complex symptoms and repeated traumatic experiences. Many clients think that EMDR is an "intervention" and not a complete modality. Our clinicans are trained to provide competent phase approached EMDR Therapy to our clients. This involves taking a thorough history of the individual's experiences, developing effective skills to manage symptoms, assessing the underlying beiefs that are keeping clients stuck in old thinking patterns, and implementing a treatment plan to target specific thoughts, feelings and memories with this effective modality.
