Anxiety Counseling
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, constant worry, avoidance, irritability, or a feeling of dread you can’t shake. Our therapists use CBT, EMDR, and other proven approaches to help you get to the root of it — not just manage the symptoms.

Depression Therapy
When the low mood, the fatigue, and the loss of interest in things you used to enjoy stretches on for weeks or months, that’s worth paying attention to. Therapy for depression is one of the most effective treatments available—often with longer-lasting results than medication alone.

EMDR, Brainspotting, and Trauma Therapy
Sometimes a single event (sudden loss, violence, sexual assault, betrayal) completely changes your world. Other times the accumulated effects of an abusive relationship or environment wears on your soul. Whether it’s a single experience or the accumulation of many painful experiences over time, our therapists use EMDR, Brainspotting, and other specialized approaches to help your brain and body process what happened so you can move forward.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the most researched treatments for trauma and PTSD, and it can also help with anxiety, depression, grief, and patterns where you feel stuck. Several of our therapists are trained in EMDR and use it regularly.

Marriage Counseling & Couples Therapy
One spouse feels criticized. The other feels like nothing works. One person gets hot in conflict, the other shuts down. These are the patterns we see all the time when we work with couples.

When communication has broken down, trust has been damaged, or you just feel disconnected from each other, couples therapy can help you break the patterns that aren’t working and rebuild something stronger. Our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, two of the most heavily researched models for helping couples find each other again.
