EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
This highly effective technique helps you reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or threatening. EMDR involves bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to reduce emotional intensity and rewire unhelpful thought patterns.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
DBT is the gold standard for treating emotional dysregulation, self-harm, and trauma-related issues. It helps you develop practical skills in distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
Brainspotting
This advanced, brain-based therapy accesses the deep areas of the brain where trauma is stored. It supports the brain’s natural healing processes and is especially helpful when trauma feels “stuck” or hard to articulate.
Somatic Movement & Mindfulness
Some of our therapists incorporate body-based approaches like trauma-informed yoga and guided mindfulness. These methods help reconnect you with your body in a safe, grounded way—vital for those who have experienced trauma.
