Attachment-Based Interventions for Couples in Crisis

Emotionally focused therapy, an intervention based on scientific study of adult love and bonding processes in couples, is designed to address distress in the intimate relationships of adults.

Attachment-Based Family Therapy for Depressed Adolescents (ABFT)

Research into adolescent depression and suicide suggest adolescent depression and suicide can be precipitated, exacerbated or buffered against by the quality of interpersonal relationships in families. ABFT is a trust-based, emotion-focused psychotherapy model that aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild an emotionally protective, secure-based parent–child relationship.

Trauma-Focused CBT (TFCBT)

Children and their family’s impacted by various traumas can benefit from TFCBT. Over 25 years of refinement, TFCBT helps youth and their family’s recover from traumatic experiences even if a specific PTSD diagnosis has not been given. Youth and their parents participate in weekly sessions that cover coping skills, parenting skills, safety enhancement, and relationship development.

Emotionally Focused Therapies

Emotionally focused therapy considers the key principle in conflict among couples to be insecurity in the attachment one has with one’s partner. This insecurity may mean partners find themselves concerned by questions such as “Do you really love me?” “Am I important to you?” “Are you committed to our relationship?” “Can I trust you?” and so on. Emotionally focused therapy can help people address attachment-related insecurities and learn how to interact with their romantic partners in more loving, responsive, and emotionally connected ways, which can result in a more secure attachment. 

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.  Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. Our clinicians have additional training to address implicit (pre-verbal) memories using a specific EMDR protocol, “When There Are No Words.”

Mental Health Check-up for First Responders

Each time a first responder answers a call there may be a psychological toll. Left untreated, trauma can lead to deeper problems on and off the job. We utilize some screening measures and questionnaires that are short and help us to assess your overall wellbeing. They are not and will never be used as “fitness for duty” or employment psychological screening assessments. You were already hired to your department because of your experience, knowledge and ability to do the job. The screeners are intended to facilitate a conversation about your emotional, spiritual and relational health between you and the therapist.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

Internal Family Systems is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and protective, and that is a good thing.  Our inner parts contain valuable qualities and our core Self knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and whole. All parts are welcome!

Adoption-Competent Practices

Adoption is trauma, even under the best of circumstances. A deep personal understanding of this paired with ongoing continuing education (including the Permanency and Adoption Competency Certificate program) helps families feel seen and heard. We integrate practices from Daniel Hughes, Heather Forbes, Bessel Van der Kolk, Karyn Purvis, and more to address developmental trauma and facilitate healing in relationships.

Yoga Therapy for Children

Yoga Therapy for children can help with: self-regulation, focus, anxiousness, self confidence and overall physical and mental wellbeing. Yoga Therapy can help children learn to regulate their energy, emotions and responses to stress, anxiety, anger as well as other mental health conditions. It helps children cultivate a body-mind connection. A yoga therapist can work with individuals and/or small groups to meet specific needs.

Animal Assisted Therapy - Canine

Animals can provide a sense of calm, comfort, or safety and divert attention away from a stressful situation and toward one that provides pleasure. Developing a bond with an animal can help people develop a better sense of self-worth and trust, stabilize their emotions, and improve their communication, self-regulation, and socialization skills.

Integrated Body-Mind-Heart Therapy (Yoga Therapy)

Body-Mind-Heart Therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga. The body may “keep score” and yoga based practices such as breath work and somatic or gentle movement help us to befriend the body and learn how to navigate and release trauma, stress and other challenges that come with living a human experience. The mind may be noisy or negative and yoga based strategies such as mindfulness or meditation, learning about the nervous system and the vagus nerve provide tools for calming the mind chatter and rewiring new neural pathways. The heart may feel disconnected and yoga based experiences can facilitate a better understanding of Self.

Sand Tray/Sand Play Therapy

A form of play therapy, this modality assists both adults and children in processing their inner world without the need for many words. We integrate the use of our large sand tray and toy “miniatures” with other forms of treatment (Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR) to move forward with treatment goals.

Sound Healing Therapy

Sound healing is an ancient wellness practice that has been used across different cultures for many centuries. Two major forms of sound healing techniques are sound baths and vibrational sound therapy. Sound vibrations have a pretty powerful effect on our minds and bodies. Research shows us that sound healing can slow down our brain waves and put our bodies in a very relaxed state which may alleviate anxiousness, ease pain and increase overall sense of physical and mental wellness.

Somatic Movement Therapy

Somatic movement therapy is a body centered therapy that places importance on what we experience in the mind and the body and the connection between the two. It's different from other mind-body approaches because it starts with the body, and involves focus on internal movement which builds your interoception (self sensing) ability. The goal is to help you get in tune with yourself, release built-up emotions, and manage mental health.
