Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy combines traumatic memory recall with bilateral stimulation to treat PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma. Our certified therapists help clients reprocess distressing experiences, reducing symptoms through structured eight-phase treatment. This approach integrates play and expressive therapies for child and adult clients.
DBR Therapy
Deep Brain Reorienting addresses shock trauma and relational patterns through body-based processing. Our clinicians guide clients to release protective tension patterns stored in the nervous system, resolving emotional numbness and relational difficulties without retraumatization.
Adoption-Competent Therapy
Specialized therapy for adoption community members addresses identity formation, grief, and open adoption dynamics. We provide family mediation, parent education, and support groups for adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families using evidence-based relational frameworks.
Children's Therapy
Developmentally attuned counseling uses play to treat ADHD, anxiety, and trauma in children. Our therapists employ sandtray, Theraplay, and expressive arts to help children regulate emotions and improve family connections through parent-integrated sessions.
Individual Therapy for Women
Tailored therapy addresses women's unique challenges including burnout, infertility, and spiritual disillusionment. Our relational approach helps clients rebuild self-confidence, navigate life transitions, and heal from relational trauma in a faith-inclusive environment.
