What We Offer Is More Than Traditional Talk Therapy
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily engages the cognitive mind, we provide therapy that addresses the connection between the mind and body. Trauma affects not only thoughts and emotions but also physiological responses, and we aim to help you bridge the gap between your mind and body.

EMDR targets unprocessed memories stuck in the brain and body from painful past experiences. These stored memories hold painful emotions, distressing body sensations, and negative thoughts and beliefs that keep us stuck in reliving the past. These stuck memories are the basis of current problems.

Somatic therapy aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. Somatic therapy helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. This is approached by gently guiding clients to develop increasing tolerance for difficult sensations and suppressed emotions.
