What is EMDR?
According to EMDRIA, "EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories."

Trauma and PTSD
The subjects of Trauma and PTSD can be difficult to understand including why trauma happens and how it can effect a person's day to day life.
​
The Child Trauma Academy has put together a library to provide educational resources to increase understanding of these topics and improve outcomes for those impacted.

What is TBRI?
According to the Karyn Purvis Institute for Child Development, "TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection."

What is NM?
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.
