Approach

EDMR and TRAUMA HEALING

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach form of psychotherapy that focuses on healing individuals from trauma, emotional distress, anxiety, or symptoms that have resulted after a disturbing life experience.

BREATHWORK/MEDITATION

While we take our first breath within seconds of coming into the world, most of us don't fully optimize this natural bodily function. Breath work practice improves overall wellness - from mental health benefits to cellular function. You will learn various styles of breathing to control the rate, rhythm and depth as a relaxation technique.

Meditation has endless benefits. It increases focus, reduces anxiety, and promotes greater emotional well-being. You will be guided through various meditations using imagery for emotional healing.

CLIENT CENTERED THERAPY

Is a non-directive form of talk therapy in which the client explores their self-actualizing tendency and is supported in fulfilling their potential. The therapist acts as an equal partner from an unconditional and non -judgmental point of view.

CBT & DBT

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on exploring relationships among a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Clients will explore and uncover unhealthy patterns of thinking and how they may be causing self-destructive behaviors and beliefs.

Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT) helps a person find balance between acceptance and change. DBT therapy helps a person develop new skills, like coping methods and mindfulness practices, so that the person has the power to improve unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

Adolescents/Young Adults/Children

Are you concerned that your child may be struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, poor academic performance, gender identity issues, or lack of motivation? It is not easy to be a teen or young adult these days, and most don’t have someone they can talk to objectively. When it comes to being a parent, it’s only natural to try and steer your child in a particular direction. In addition to parental support, teens benefit from talking with someone they can confide in—someone who will sit with them amid the messiness of their lives without telling them what they should or need to do. In fact, sometimes teens don’t even know how they feel. They just know that something is off, yet they’re unable to put all the pieces together themselves and make sense of it.

Counseling for teens offers a safe, non-combative environment where kids can dig deeper, process their concerns, and be honest about what they feel and need.

Parent Coaching

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. – Elizabeth Stone

Are you beginning to realize how compex life is for your teen or young adult? Have you been reminiscing about the carefree phase of their younger days? Those days when they jumped off the bus to embrace you with a big smile and a hug, when they had lots of friends and didn’t want to skip a day of school. When their grades were good and they didn’t look exhausted. When they didn’t spend hours on a device EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

You’re not sure, but you’re wondering if your child is depressed and/or anxious. You're aware of the negative impact of social media on teens. There may be concern that your child is considering or is managing their stress with unhealthy coping skills. You think back to your own teen years and realize how much more complicated life is for your teen now. You’ve done everything you know to do. You’ve tried talking to them, lecturing them, punishing them. A Nutritious Life can help you as a parent gain clarity on your teen’s situation and learn skills to stay connected with them, set boundaries and expectations while providing them with an ally and a safe space to explore and work on themselves.
