EMDR, or (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), is a type of therapy that focuses on treating PTSD, depression, anxiety and other phobias or anything that has happened that keeps you from living your life fully. When our brain stores a normal memory, it does so smoothly, ensuring it is properly stored and linked to other memories. During a traumatic event, your brain may disrupt the storage process, causing there to be a disconnect between what you experience and the memory that your brain stores.

Have you ever wanted to enter a state of deep relaxation when trying to tackle a challenging problem? Hypnotherapy provides the ability to do this and involves working with a trained professional to enter this hypnotic state. Hypnotherapy allows you to hone your concentration on specific topics and limit all other distractions around you. From managing anxiety and overcoming phobias to breaking addictive habits, hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of issues.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system, so you can better connect with yourself, others and the world around you.

Our bodies are always searching for safety cues from other humans. These come in the form of physical tells like a smile or soft eye contact and cause our nervous system to downregulate threat responses, which benefits our mental health. Some people have a more difficult time interpreting safety cues either because of past experiences or due to the way they process information leads to their brain misinterpreting these cues, limiting their ability to connect in a meaningful way.
