Our services

  • Talk Therapy

    We provide 50-minute counseling sessions to individuals through professional, evidence based services. We can offer clarity, and increased understanding and awareness of thoughts and feelings, and offer individualized tools each week to help clients work towards their personal goals.

  • EMDR

    When we encounter distressing experiences and trauma our brain's natural coping response can become overwhelmed, leaving memories stuck in the limbic system where emotions are stored. These "stuck” unprocessed memories are disconnected from our cerebral cortex and are often riddled in negative cognitions. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories through bilateral stimulation, similar to how the REM cycle of our sleep works. This process, essentially helps link the brain's memory networks, allowing it to reprocess and integrate these distressing experiences, alleviating present challenges.

  • Somatic Experiencing

    Somatic Experiencing focuses on the body's physiological response to distressing events, stress, and trauma and how these experiences can overload our nervous system, leading to dysregulation and symptoms like anxiety and chronic tension. We work by gently bringing awareness to physical sensations in the body, allowing your nervous system to gradually release "trapped energy" and working towards regaining the body's natural equilibrium.

Find your sense of belonging.
