It's an evidence-based modality developed by Dr. Shapiro. EMDR uses a patient's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements to reprocess a traumatic event. It connects the memory of a traumatic event to new information by rewiring negative thinking patterns and emotions.  It also could work in enhancing positive patterns needed to manage anticipated future events. Part of the treatment includes building effective coping skills to manage difficult reactions that a person might experience. This approach is effective for children, teens and adults. EMDR offers a way to rewire the brain and find healing!

This modality allows the person to explore the self in a safe manner.  The box is your world and the miniatures are your words to explore thoughts and feelings. Sometimes talk therapy is not enough, so, sandtray therapy offers another option to heal. A person recreates scenes of their own life to work on conflicts, obstacles and ultimately find acceptance of the self.  It is a very powerful tool used to reflect our experience of the world. This approach can be used for children, teens and adults.  

SE is another trauma healing modality developed by Dr. Peter Levine. SE allows the body to complete the thwarted threat responses to a traumatic event experience, which leads to symptoms of PTSD and others. In an SE session, the client and therapist work in a collaborative way to support the nervous system in healing. SE also helps to increase body awareness and to develop capacity to tolerate and manage challenging or stressful moments.
