Counseling Services
In counseling, we will work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You set the pace, and nothing is forced. The goal isn’t to “fix” you - it’s to support you in understanding yourself, building resilience, and moving toward the life you want.
Every person’s journey is different, and counseling provides you with a trained professional to walk alongside you as you explore your journey forward.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps people identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior. It’s based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected - so if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel and act.
Goal-oriented: Focuses on solving specific problems.
Structured: Sessions follow a clear structure, often with homework or practice exercises.
Present-focused: Emphasizes current issues rather than delving deeply into past experiences.
Collaborative: Working together to set goals and track progress.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR is a therapy designed to help people heal from distressing life experiences, especially trauma. It helps the brain process memories that may be “stuck” so that the memory no longer causes overwhelming feelings or reactions.
Instead of talking in detail about the event, EMDR uses back-and-forth eye movements (or sounds or taps) while you briefly focus on the memory. This helps your brain reprocess it in a healthier way - similar to how it naturally processes experiences during REM sleep.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the process of paying full attention to the present moment - on purpose and without judgement. It means noticing what’s happening right now: your thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and surroundings, without trying to change or avoid anything.
Instead of getting caught up in worries about the past or future, mindfulness helps you stay grounded in the here and now.
The goal is to notice what’s there and return your focus gently when it wanders.
