MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
Improve your Sense of Wellbeing
Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions and feeling stuck? Going through a transition in life or recognition that you have to make hard changes? Do you find that you can't let go of the past or things that have happened to you? Counseling is a good start to exploring emotions, integrating insights into daily living and making lasting changes. For clients who are affected by trauma or stuck beliefs, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) can be utilized to help clients identify negative core beliefs and the emotions, thoughts and sensations that go along with them and desensitize the body's reactions.

ADDICTION TREATMENT
Create a New Path
When a substance, behavior or relationship starts negatively impacting multiple areas of your life, health, relationships and goals for yourself, it's hard to change those patterns by yourself due to the neuropathways that get carved in your brain. Exploring positive motivations for using the substance or behavior, learning healthier ways to meet those needs, and building a supportive network through counseling will help you form new pathways to recovery.
For those who love someone struggling with addiction, counseling is helpful to process your own emotions, understand the biology of addiction, stay connected, create healthy boundaries and know what resources are available.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been proven effective for the treatment of trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and other mental health issues. When a person goes through a traumatic event or period in life, that moment or event may become "frozen in time," and remembering it may feel as bad as going through it the first time because the images, sounds, smells, and feelings haven’t changed. Such memories may have a lasting negative effect that interferes with the way a person sees the world and the way they relate to other people. Using bilateral stimulation (alternating eye movements, vibrating hand buzzers or audio tones), EMDR therapy aims to desensitize our body's response to past traumatic or disturbing events and connect other protective resources to the memory, all while staying in the present moment. When normal information processing is resumed following EMDR treatment, a person no longer relives the images, sounds, and feelings when the event is brought to mind. In our first session, we can talk about whether EMDR may be helpful for you.
