Trauma Therapy SERVICES
Eye Movement desensitization and Reprocessing
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. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, often referred to as ART, is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). he process is very straightforward, using relaxing eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which the negative images are stored in the brain. The treatment is grounded in well-established psychotherapy techniques, and the end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery.
SAFE AND SOUND PROTOCOL
The Safe and Sound Protocol is an evidence-based therapeutic tool designed to reset the nervous system and return it to safety.

Here are a Few tips to assist you in finding a therapist
Consult with your insurance company
If you plan to utilize your insurance then a good first step would be to access your insurance network. If you are tech savvy, most insurance companies offer online directories. You can also contact your insurance member services number on the back of your insurance ID card and request a list of therapists in your local area. Once you receive a list of providers in your area you can contact the therapist directly and request a consult and/or important.
Consult with Your Human Resources Department
At times your employer may offer benefits such as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which is funded by the company. Employee Assistance Programs can often offer free counseling sessions for every member of the household per issues per year. Employers may offer an internal or external EAP.
Online Directories
Now a days, there are many online directories that you can utilize to search for a therapist and these directories allow you to filter your search. Many mental health associations will have directories that focus on therapist who engaged in specific therapy (i.e. EMDR therapists can be found on EMDRIA.org). Furthermore, you can find more speciality directories that focus on Queer Therapists, Therapists of Color, Women Therapists, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy directories.
Ask someone you trust
Sometimes the best way to find a therapist is by asking someone else. You can ask a family member, friend, colleague, your doctor, etc. Though, this is a good resource for some it may not be for others. So do not get discouraged if the referrals you received are not a good fit.
Local Resources
Schools, local clinics and specialty programs (i.e. DV or victims of abuse groups) will often offer therapeutic services such as individual and/or group services as well as case management services.
Reach out to Local programs
If you are seeking therapy for certain concerns such as trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, etc. You can reach out to local programs that treat similar issues and request therapist resources as programs always maintain a referral list.
Good Ole Google Search
