Adult Outpatient Counseling

Through years of experience and the use of evidence-based practices, we will engage and develop the best path forward to move forward.  Counseling areas that will be offered are: 

During the initial appointment, you will share the emotional health challenges you are going through. We will spend time getting to know each other and talking about what therapy may look like for you.  You will have time to ask questions and we will have plenty of questions of our own.  This will build an initial assessment that we can use in creating your specific treatment plan. 


  

EMDR 

(Only with Lisa Kelly at this time)

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. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal.  EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.  The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health.  If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering.  Once the block is removed, healing resumes.  Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions, I can help you activate their natural healing processes. 


Youth and Adolescent Therapy

Our passion for therapy on all levels was built on the love we have for working with youth and teens to help them work towards a long, happy, and fulfilling life.  We understand the challenge many of our children and their families face.  Using various behavioral therapies, as well as supportive plans we can build treatment goals that are realistic, achievable, and attainable.  The areas offered are similar to the ones presented in the adult outpatient counseling but extend to school issues, personal growth, self-esteem, and more.  Please call and we can talk more.  We also will gladly work with and coordinate with team members such as teachers, doctors, and other behavioral supports, e.g.     

Experienced Counseling for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

Although the terms and words may be the same for treating individuals with developmental disabilities, my years have shown that the approach, the plan, and the work put in can look the same but oftentimes needs some accommodations and adjustment.  I am proud to say that I have worked with the DD field for over 10 years in various capacities and believe in ensuring that they receive the same care of counseling as anyone else.  I encourage families, guardians, providers, or service coordinators to see how I could assist them in building brighter futures.
