  • Intensives (intensive psychotherapy) are customized therapeutic experiences for situations that need resolution and movement. Intensives are for individuals, couples, families, and or siblings that want to move through an impasse. Sometimes this is working through the pain of a betrayal, or the memory of childhood trauma, or solidifying new healthy behaviors in a family system. When working with clients weekly is more injurious than helpful, an intensive allows for the healing to take place deeply and over the days that are scheduled.Intensives Psychotherapy appointments usually span 1 to 4 days and are scheduled by appointment. In that amount of time, participants are able to access an emotional depth that helps them move through an event. They are also able to acquire and utilize tools in an emotionally safe environment.Intensive Psychotherapy requires an extensive intake process. Equine therapy is a optional component of our intensives,
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro. Shapiro identified disturbing and unresolved feelings and memories as the cause of chronic psychological distress in individuals that have experienced traumatizing, life-altering events, which often result in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. When a traumatic or distressing experience occurs, it may overwhelm normal coping mechanisms. The memory and associated stimuli are inadequately processed and stored in an isolated memory network. The unprocessed emotions, therefore, continue to re-emerge resulting in a chronic state of distress; or a continual “reliving” of the disturbing event along with the intensity of emotion originally experienced.The goal of EMDR is to reduce the long-lasting effects of distressing memories by engaging the brain’s natural adaptive information processing mechanisms, thereby relieving present symptoms. EMDR is endorsed by the National Institute of Health as the most effective psychotherapeutic technique for resolving the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • Women's Love Addiction Therapy Group:

    Love addiction comes in many forms. Some love addicts cannot get over unavailable people. Some love addicts obsess when they fall in love and get addicted to the high feelings of romance. Others cannot let go of a unhealthy relationship even if they are unhappy, depressed, lonely, neglected or in danger. Some love addicts are codependent and others are narcissistic. Some love addicts use sex to manage feelings; others are sexually anorexic. The common factor is that they are powerless over distorted thoughts, feelings and behavior when it comes to love, fantasies and relationships. If needs for nurturing and support were not met growing up love addicts look at relationships to fill those needs.This affects self esteem.Love addicts become inauthentic and often medicate pain by obsessing about a relationship or person because they need other peoples love to be ok. Love Addicts do not see the real person they are infatuated with,but instead assign magical qualities to them. This group will focus of the origins of love addiction and works to restore true worth ,healthy validation ,and support from others experiencing the same painful relationships.You will learn tools to work through these issues and help create a healthy plan to move forward in safe place to be real.
