EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy helps clients process traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and depression by reprocessing distressing experiences. Our therapists guide clients through structured sessions that reduce emotional intensity while building resilience and positive self-perception.
Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling utilizes Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to improve communication and strengthen relationships. We help partners address conflicts, rebuild trust, and develop healthier interaction patterns. Sessions focus on enhancing emotional connection and resolving issues related to anxiety, depression, or trauma affecting relationships.
Premarital Counseling
The 8-week premarital counseling course prepares couples for marriage using research-backed techniques. We help partners establish healthy communication patterns, explore shared values, and develop conflict resolution skills. This structured program builds strong foundations for lasting relationships through guided discussions and practical exercises.
Telehealth Therapy
Telehealth therapy provides accessible mental health services through secure video platforms. Available statewide in Washington, this option offers flexibility for clients seeking EMDR, individual therapy, or couples counseling. Sessions maintain the same therapeutic quality as in-person visits while accommodating remote access and scheduling needs.
Anxiety Treatment
Our anxiety treatment combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to address excessive worry and stress. Therapists help clients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and reframe negative thought patterns. Treatment incorporates somatic approaches to manage physical symptoms while building long-term emotional resilience.
