Services
Individual Counseling
Our licensed counselors provide personalized mental health treatment for adults aged 18-50. Specializing in trauma recovery and attachment-based approaches, we address anxiety, depression, and life transitions using evidence-based methods like EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy. Each session focuses on developing coping skills and self-understanding through a client-centered framework that integrates faith perspectives with modern psychology.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
This evidence-based program strengthens caregiver-child relationships for families with children aged 2-6. Through live-coached play sessions, parents learn effective behavior management techniques while practicing daily structured playtime. Our certified therapists help reduce challenging behaviors while fostering emotional connection through a combination of trauma-informed care and practical parenting strategies tailored to each family's needs.
Trauma Recovery
Specialized treatment for trauma survivors using advanced therapeutic techniques including EMDR, TF-CBT, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Our clinicians address PTSD symptoms, complex trauma, and adverse life experiences through both individual and group therapy formats. Treatment plans incorporate mind-body connections and neuroscience principles to promote holistic healing and long-term recovery.
Play Therapy
Therapeutic playroom sessions help children express emotions through their natural medium of play. Certified play therapists use toys and structured activities to address emotional struggles, behavioral issues, and developmental challenges. This approach works effectively for children aged 2-12, providing a safe space for emotional exploration and growth through guided play experiences.
Group Therapy
Structured group sessions address specific mental health concerns through peer support and professional guidance. Our trauma-informed groups create safe environments for shared experiences while maintaining strict confidentiality. Participants benefit from collective wisdom and evidence-based interventions tailored to common challenges like anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
