Talk Therapy

Talk therapy provides a supportive space to explore your experiences, relationships, and internal world through conversation and reflection.

Sessions may focus on:

  • Understanding emotional patterns and reactions

  • Exploring life transitions, stress, or identity questions

  • Strengthening self-awareness and emotional regulation

  • Processing past experiences that continue to shape the present

This work is relational at its core — grounded in feeling heard, understood, and supported while building insight and resilience.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR therapy is a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and experiences that remain “stuck.”

Rather than repeatedly retelling the past, EMDR supports the nervous system in integrating unresolved experiences so they lose their emotional charge.

EMDR can be helpful for:

  • Trauma and complex trauma

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Attachment wounds

  • Grief and loss

  • Addiction and compulsive patterns

Sessions are carefully paced, resourced, and grounded in safety.

We Now Offer Half-Day EMDR Intensive (3 Hours)

Sometimes weekly therapy isn’t the right rhythm. When you’re ready to move through something specific without stretching it across months, an EMDR intensive offers focused, meaningful progress in a single extended session.

This three-hour half-day immersion allows us to slow down, settle your nervous system, and work more deeply with the root of what’s keeping you stuck. We move at a steady, regulated pace, integrating EMDR with somatic awareness and grounding strategies so the work feels contained and supportive rather than overwhelming.

This format is ideal if you:

  • feel stuck in recurring emotional patterns

  • want to target a specific memory or experience

  • are navigating a recent stressor or life transition

  • prefer focused work instead of weekly sessions

  • are traveling or have limited availability

Your session includes time for preparation, EMDR processing, and gentle integration before you leave, so you feel grounded and supported as you return to your day.

Many clients find that an intensive creates momentum that would otherwise take weeks or months to build. It’s intentional, efficient, and designed to help your nervous system process what it has been holding onto.

Contact us to schedule or to determine if an EMDR intensive is the right fit for you.

Early Trauma Protocol (ETP)

The Early Trauma Protocol (ETP) is a gentle, body-aware form of EMDR for trauma that began early in life — often before clear memories or language were formed.

ETP can help people who:

  • Feel “stuck” in patterns that don’t make logical sense

  • Have early attachment wounds, neglect, or chronic childhood stress

  • Struggle with shame, hypervigilance, or a persistent sense of unease

  • Know something happened, but can’t clearly remember what

Through ETP, the nervous system integrates early experiences, restoring a felt sense of safety, stability, and choice.

Psychedelic-Informed Therapy (Preparation & Integration)

Psychedelic-informed therapy is a supportive, non-directive approach for individuals preparing for or integrating psychedelic experiences in legal, medical, ceremonial, or research settings.

  • Preparation sessions focus on intention-setting, emotional readiness, education, and grounding.

  • Integration sessions provide space to process insights and translate them into daily life — safely, mindfully, and respectfully.

This service does not involve administration of substances and is offered within ethical, legal, and therapeutic boundaries.

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy recognizes that experiences live not only in the mind but also in the body.

It can help with:

  • Trauma and chronic stress

  • Emotional overwhelm or shutdown

  • Anxiety and nervous-system dysregulation

  • Reconnecting with bodily awareness and safety

Through gentle attention to movement, sensation, and nervous-system responses, somatic therapy supports embodied healing, not just cognitive insight.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy integrates present-moment awareness into the therapeutic process, helping you observe thoughts and emotions with curiosity rather than judgment.

This approach supports:

  • Emotional regulation

  • Increased clarity and self-compassion

  • Reduced reactivity

  • Greater connection to values and intention

Mindfulness is woven into sessions in ways that feel accessible, grounded, and supportive.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own role, intention, and history.

IFS helps you build compassionate relationships with your parts — understanding their protective functions while reducing internal conflict.

IFS is especially helpful for:

  • Inner criticism or shame

  • Trauma and attachment wounds

  • Anxiety and emotional reactivity

  • Identity exploration and self-leadership
