EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based practice designed to treat PTSD, C-PTSD, and other trauma-related disorders using a three-pronged model for healing past, present, and future disturbances. Our certified therapists specialize in treating phobias, anxiety, and OCD using the Distancing Technique. This service helps clients process traumatic experiences and build resilience through structured therapeutic protocols.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical Supervision provides Montana social work licensure candidates with structured training and mentorship. Our supervision program follows state requirements and focuses on developing clinical skills, ethical practice, and trauma-informed care. Supervisees gain hands-on experience while receiving ongoing feedback to enhance their professional competence and readiness for independent practice.
EMDR Consultation
EMDR Consultation supports recently trained therapists seeking certification hours. As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, we offer individual and group consultation sessions to refine therapeutic techniques, address complex cases, and ensure adherence to EMDR standards. This service helps professionals build confidence and expertise in delivering trauma-focused care.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Arts Therapy integrates creative modalities to enhance trauma recovery. This approach uses art, music, and movement to cultivate insight and emotional attunement. Clients develop coping strategies through non-verbal expression, complementing traditional therapies like DBT and CBT to address trauma's psychological and physiological impacts.
Sexual Health Counseling
Sexual Health Counseling addresses trauma-related impacts on sexuality and relationships. Our trauma-informed approach helps clients process experiences of abuse, societal messaging, or relationship challenges. Through EMDR and somatic techniques, we support clients in developing embodied, empowered relationships while addressing anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues connected to sexual health.
