Therapy is a positive way to deal with trauma, pain, or any issue you have in life so you can become a healthier, happier, more peaceful person. When you develop coping skills, learn how to let go of negativity, set boundaries, or deal with certain situations in a positive manner, you can finally start living the life you’ve always wanted – an empowered life.
You don’t have to wait for a crisis moment in your life to see a therapist. You don’t have to live in suffering. You can see a therapist when things are going really well, or when you’re going through a big life transition.

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS THERAPY?
Mindfulness Therapy includes aspects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing Therapy.
Mindfulness Therapy is an evidenced-based approach for healing leading to overall stress reduction, allowing a client to better utilize coping skills and better regulate their nervous system. By using mindfulness, clients will become more in tune with how their body and mind are connected. If the body is taken care of, the mind will also be calmer and better able to manage stress, therefore reducing symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more.
WHAT IS EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. It is a structured therapeutic technique using bilateral stimulation through eye movements, sound, or tapping to reprocess traumatic memories and negative beliefs. This technique has been researched with PTSD, and is applicable to various situations.
Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.
