Our Approach.
We work with Individuals, Couples, and Families from teenagers to adults and specialize in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
​
We take an integrative approach to therapy to work with clients' diverse mental health needs. This approach creates a space for us to work respectfully and discover what best suits the client's needs and will be most helpful in meeting their short and long-term goals.
​
When looking at an integrative approach, we are looking at two types. Top-bottom integration and left-right integration. When practicing top-bottom integrative work, we are often focused on the physical and emotional experience of a problem. Through somatic work, skill building, and mindfulness, we can help the brain work in a way that helps keep you more regulated so you can respond to life rather than react. In this way, integration of top-bottom means we help you with giving a narrative to the physical/emotional by connecting it with the thoughts found in the thinking part of your brain.

Left-right integration is focused on the more critical, time-based left side and the more emotional, creative right brain. When we experience trauma, we often take on the emotions of fear/embarrassment/anxiety that are found more in the right brain, but cannot give those feelings a cohesive story one finds in the left brain. This is due to how memory mechanisms work in fight or flight mode. In this regard, we work on integrating the feelings and narrative so the brain can successfully process the incident, thus removing triggers and reactive responses.

Additional Services.
We offer a Neurosequential Model (NM) Metric as part of our services. From the NM site:
“The Neurosequential Model is a developmentally informed, biologically-respectful approach to working with at-risk children.
The Neurosequential Model is not a specific therapeutic technique or intervention but a way to organize a child’s history and current functioning. The goal of this approach is to structure the assessment of a child, the articulation of the primary problems, the identification of key strengths, and the application of interventions (educational, enrichment, and therapeutic) in a way that will help family, educators, therapists, and related professionals best meet the needs of the child.
The NM uses a metric as an assessment tool to identify the most appropriate therapeutic interventions. Information for the metric is gathered during a 1.5-hour interview and will be discussed with the client in an hour-long consultation.
