Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy processes trauma using bilateral stimulation to reframe distressing memories. Ideal for PTSD and anxiety, it fosters emotional resilience. Sessions help clients achieve symptom relief and improved self-awareness through structured eight-phase treatment.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems explores sub-personalities to heal emotional wounds. Effective for complex trauma, it promotes self-leadership by harmonizing conflicting inner parts. Clients learn to access compassion for fragmented aspects of themselves during therapy sessions.
Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine Therapy combines low-dose ketamine with psychotherapy to treat depression and PTSD. The dissociative effects enhance emotional processing during sessions. Clients experience rapid symptom reduction when used alongside traditional therapeutic modalities like EMDR.
EMDR Consulting
EMDR Consulting supports clinicians pursuing certification. Services include case consultation and protocol fidelity training. Clinicians learn to apply AIP model principles and modify techniques for client safety during their certification journey.
Child Therapy
Child Therapy addresses developmental trauma and behavioral challenges through play-based techniques. Trauma-informed care helps children process adverse experiences. Sessions incorporate EMDR adaptations to improve emotional regulation and attachment security in young clients.
