Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of therapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. Bilateral stimulation (BLS) is a core treatment element of EMDR and a process which distinguishes EMDR from any other method. Click here to learn more about EMDR.
Progressive counting (PC) is a recently developed trauma treatment, based on the counting method. It involves having the client visualize a series of progressively longer “movies” of the trauma memory while the therapist counts out loud (first to a count of 10, then 20, then 30, etc.). By repeatedly imagining the movie of the memory, the memory gets “digested” or healed, and emotionally processed. Click here to learn more about PC.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a transformative, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal by accessing and loving their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS practitioners believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us.
Relationship/Couples therapy is a psychotherapy that includes and involves all members of an established relationship, whether monogamous or polyamorous, LGBTQ+ or heteronormative.
