Counseling is tailored to the need of each client, but typically entails a combination of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). 

EMDR is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the American Psychological Association (APA)  and U.S. Department of Defense as a successful approach for helping people heal from trauma, loss or other life-changing experiences, especially post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  This treatment pairs eye movement with recollection of painful memories to resolve thoughts, feelings and behaviors in response to the memory.  Clients typically experience transformation that results in increased emotional health and resolution of the painful event.

CBT is recognized by the APA and is used to treat a variety of conditions, such as anxiety and depression.  This approach helps people to understand the thoughts and emotions that drive unhealthy behaviors and equips them with tools for changing those behaviors for the better. Clients typically experience neutralization of “triggers” that previously caused painful emotions and behaviors.
