EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) offers a powerful tool to process trauma and break the cycle of emotional distress.
By focusing on reprocessing distressing memories, EMDR helps individuals shift their emotional responses, leading to more adaptive ways of coping with past events.
I value EMDR because of its ability to create rapid transformation in a safe and structured way.
Trauma-focused CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Trauma-Focused Therapy (CBT-T) helps clients confront and challenge negative thought patterns stemming from trauma.
This evidence-based approach is empowering because it helps clients rebuild their sense of self and gain control over their responses while learning practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals accept difficult emotions without judgment while committing to meaningful actions aligned with their values.
ACT allows clients to create a fulfilling life despite the presence of distress, and I appreciate its focus on psychological flexibility and empowerment.
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques
Trauma-informed mindfulness and meditation practices help ground clients in the present moment, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation.
These techniques support emotional resilience and provide clients with tools for cultivating calm and clarity, even in challenging situations.
Trauma-informed yoga practices
Yoga is a powerful tool for emotional regulation and healing, offering a holistic approach to reconnecting the body and mind. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation, yoga helps regulate the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting a sense of safety within the body.
For those who have experienced trauma, emotions can often feel overwhelming or disconnected, but yoga provides a gentle way to rebuild trust in oneself.
By engaging in trauma-informed yoga, individuals can cultivate self-awareness, release stored tension, and develop healthier coping strategies, fostering resilience and emotional balance in everyday life.
Group facilitation
Group therapy offers a powerful space for connection, healing, and shared understanding. In a supportive environment, participants can gain insight from others facing similar challenges, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of belonging.
I have extensive experience facilitating PTSD-focused groups, particularly for veterans and first responders, guiding participants through evidence-based approaches to trauma recovery.
Whether you're working through past experiences, building coping skills, or seeking a community that understands, group therapy provides a unique opportunity for growth and transformation.
