In Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, the therapist holds a container for healing by helping clients develop the skills to mindfully sit with, notice, and describe any emotional experiences. Together we observe what is coming up in any given moment and through awareness of the body.

By using their sensory ability to observe, learn, listen, and touch in with a part of the psyche that needs healing, they can shift things by gaining new information about the injury causing the emotional symptoms that are presenting themselves in the session and also perhaps a method of releasing the energy around those wounded parts. 

EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (tapping, eye movements, or sound), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.

But IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting. It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships and stepping into life with the 8 Cs: confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness.

From our earliest years, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, replaying in our daily emotional landscape, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves. And in the wake of a traumatic event―such as a car accident, severe illness, loss of a loved one, or experience of abuse―that attachment style can deeply influence what happens next.

Through utilizing attachment theory and trauma resolution, we can better understand how overwhelming experiences can disrupt our most important connections― with the parts of ourselves within, with the physical world around us, and with others.
