Art Therapy:
Art Therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship. Art Therapy, facilitated by a professional art therapist, effectively supports personal and relational treatment goals as well as community concerns.
Art Therapy is used to improve cognitive and sensory-motor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change. -American Art Therapy Association

Embodied Therapy:
We know based on research that our bodies can store our emotions and trauma. When we use embodied interventions we are able to bring the brain (emotional) and the body (physiological) together. In this session we will work to create meaningful interactions using our body including breathwork to release emotions or trauma that may be stuck. Yoga combined with breathwork are a great place to start experiencing and exploring embodiment.
During this session a gentle yoga practice will assist in bringing about awareness of physical sensations and how our body might respond to different situations. Embodied therapy is an integrative practice that creates a sacred space where time expands and slows down, allowing you to find your deepest sense of self.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR):
EMDR is a powerful approach to healing from past traumas and can be effective in treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
During EMDR therapy, you'll work with a trained professional to process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. This can help reduce the emotional distress associated with those memories and allow you to move forward with a brighter outlook.
If you're struggling with the effects of past trauma, EMDR therapy could be the key to unlocking hope and healing. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about how EMDR can benefit you.

Our Other Healing Services
-
Reiki
Reiki is a form of holistic therapy where our practitioner transfers energy to the patient to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. During a typical session, you will lay down or sit comfortably while our Reiki instructor lightly places their hands on or near the body, focusing on specific energy centers. Reiki can help reduce stress, alleviate pain, support the immune system, and encourage spiritual growth.
-
Yoga
Yoga involves a series of movements and postures that are designed to strengthen the body and improve flexibility, while also promoting inner peace and tranquility. Making yoga feel even more impactful is the emphasis on mindfulness and connection with the breath. Yoga can be a powerful tool for improving both physical and mental well-being.
