Counseling

Sometimes it is just really good to have someone to talk to. To unburden and lay it all out. Sometimes our problems seem insurmountable. We may see no way out; no way forward. At these times we need a listening ear, an accepting response, and some sound professional judgement.

We are counselors–rock bottom. It is what we do. It is what we’re trained to do. It is what we’re credentialed to do. It is our passion; our calling. Through the myriad of approaches we use, we are counselors helping people work it through, maximizing potentials; finding a remedy.

EMDR

A Mind Body Modality

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of therapy found to be very effective in treating emotional trauma. Emotional trauma, whether associated with physical trauma, affects the brain in significant ways. When trauma is experienced during infancy and childhood, the effect on brain development can be devastating (referred to as Developmental Trauma).

EMDR involves bilateral sensory stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, hand tapping, or sounds. Research shows that when performed while the person focuses on the thoughts and feelings that accompany remembering a painful or traumatic event, the result can be a profound reduction in the negative feelings.

EMDR is a structured process that includes these phases:

  • A woman talking to a man during a counseling session or interview, sitting on a sofa with a beige wall and a potted plant in the background.

    Treatment Planning

    Phase I

    We begin by understanding your history and setting goals for EMDR therapy.

  • A mountain landscape with snow-capped peaks in the background, rolling grassy hills in the foreground, and a modern building nestled on one of the hills.

    Preparation

    Phase II

    Your counselor will explain what to expect from treatment and build tools to manage emotions.

  • Modern wooden building with large glass window, set against a mountainous landscape with grassy foreground and rugged mountains in the background.

    Assessment

    Phase III

    We collaborate to identify troubling memories, negative feelings, and preferred alternatives.

  • A close-up of a black circuit board with gray pathways and circular nodes.

    Desensitization

    Phase IV

    Using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, light, etc.) we begin reducing distress related to your targeted negative experiences.

  • Aerial view of winding rivers flowing through rugged, mountainous terrain with dark rocky slopes and light-colored sandbars.

    Strengthening

    Phase V

    We assist you in strengthening positive alternative beliefs by replacing negative ones identified during the assessment phase.

  • Night sky filled with stars above a silhouette of mountains and a body of water reflecting the light, with a bright celestial object prominently visible.

    Body Awareness

    Phase VI

    To assess the effects of treatment, you will bring awareness to physical sensations to ensure the memory feels fully resolved.

  • Volcanic landscape with colorful rocks, steam rising from geothermal activity, snow patches on distant mountains, and dark clouds overhead

    Closure

    Phase VII

    We ensure you leave your EMDR session feeling grounded and emotionally balanced.

  • A digital illustration of a DNA double helix, composed of white spherical molecules with glowing red accents along the backbone.

    Re-Evaluation

    Phase VIII

    Each session after EMDR, we will begin with a progress review to adjust for treatments that follow.
