Counseling Specialties
Trauma
Trauma is an emotional and psychological response to an event or series of events that are intensely distressing or disturbing. These events, such as abuse, violence, accidents, or natural disasters, can overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope and lead to lasting effects on mental health. Trauma can result in symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness. It often impacts one’s sense of safety, self-esteem, and ability to function normally. Treatment for trauma frequently involves therapy, such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), aimed at helping individuals process and recover from the traumatic experiences.
Depression
Depression is a mental health condition marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. It often affects mood, thought patterns, and physical health, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Depression can impact daily functioning and relationships. It is more than just temporary sadness; it is a prolonged state that may require professional treatment. Effective management typically includes therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), medication, or a combination, aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life.
anxiety
Anxiety is an emotional response characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, or apprehension, often accompanied by physical symptoms like increased heart rate, sweating, and muscle tension. It is a normal reaction to stress but can become problematic when excessive or chronic, leading to anxiety disorders such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. These disorders can significantly impact daily life and functioning. Treatment typically includes therapy, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), medication, or a combination, aimed at managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
Counseling Modalities
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. Developed by Francine Shapiro, EMDR involves a structured process where clients focus on distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in guided bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements. This process aims to help reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing individuals to integrate them more adaptively. EMDR is often used to treat conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The therapy is effective in alleviating symptoms related to trauma and improving overall emotional well-being.
The American Psychiatric Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs/Dept. of Defense, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the World Health Organization among many other national and international organizations recognize EMDR therapy as an effective treatment.

CBT Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals address negative thought patterns and behaviors. Developed by Aaron Beck, CBT operates on the principle that our thoughts influence our emotions and actions. By identifying and challenging distorted thoughts, such as catastrophizing or black-and-white thinking, CBT aims to replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives. Sessions involve collaborative work between the client and therapist, using techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments. CBT is effective for a range of conditions, including depression and anxiety, and equips individuals with practical tools to improve their mental health and overall functioning.
