Therapy

Therapy is a space to unpack and deeply understand your story, perceptions, and past wounds that may be causing more disruption in your life than you’d like. While this work can feel challenging, it offers life-changing insights and lasting transformation.

Most clients come to therapy with specific issues impacting their lives and seek practical, impactful solutions that allow them to move forward. I work with clients who want meaningful results without endless sessions; they are ready to address what’s holding them back so they can focus on their busy lives with renewed clarity and freedom.

In my practice, I aim to create transformational results that allow you to leave old wounds behind for good. Therapy, to me, is like healing work: we first stabilize and provide immediate relief, then address the root causes of the pain. While this can be intense, it allows you to live fully and freely without the constant need to avoid these triggers.

I take a holistic approach, working with both your brain and body to support natural healing. I integrate techniques from CBT, Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, and EMDR to address the sources of your symptoms. We may also explore nutrition, supplements, and lab referrals, as many issues stem from physical imbalances. With the right tools and by removing barriers to healing, we can restore your mind and body to their natural state of balance.

Therapy Services Offered

Stress Management

Our bodies aren't made to hold up to the demands that we put them through on a daily basis. Being in a constant state of stress on a daily basis is taxing on our physical and mental health. Whether you are struggling to find balance with work, family, social, finances, spiritual or physical health, we can find ways to help you achieve your goals (or redefine them if necessary) and lower your stress responses.

Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are closely connected. The more stress we are under the more susceptible we are to anxiety. Many people have lived with anxiety most of their lives, while others develop it later in life. Either way we can work together to find ways to better manage your stressors and your anxiety.

Depression

Symptoms of depression are one of the most common mental health symptoms most of us will experience during our lifetime. Depression symptoms range from mild to severe. Sometimes we experience them because of a difficult situation we are going through and sometimes we can't identify the cause. Whether you are experiencing seasonal depression, grief or loss, or biological symptoms, we can work together to help decrease your symptoms and help lift the fog.

Trauma

Whether you have experienced trauma from work related service, a childhood experience, a car accident or a bad break up, you may be experiencing ongoing issues from the event. By resolving the issue and being able to process it differently, you may have freedom from the event.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing experiences. While this type of therapy is most commonly associated with trauma such as PTSD, it is successfully used for a variety of issues including anxiety or depression resulting from current and past life experiences. Most people find that they are able to work through disturbing events much faster with this type of therapy than with others. While this type of treatment is suitable for most people, it's not for everyone. During the intake process we will determine if this is a good option for you. In order to begin the desensitization and reprocessing phases, both hemispheres of the brain are activated (bilateral processing) by either activating eye-movements or by using tactile stimulation (little vibrating handles you hold on to). After each set of movements you will briefly describe what you experienced. While it is difficult to predict how long treatment will last since each person and situation is different, many are able to resolve the presenting issue within 12-20 sessions. At the end of EMDR therapy, previously disturbing memories and present situations should no longer be problematic, and new healthy responses should be the norm.

Brain Spotting

Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic technique that helps you access and process unresolved trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain stored in your brain and body. By guiding your gaze to specific points in your field of vision, brainspotting helps unlock and release these deeply held emotions, promoting healing at a core level. It’s a gentle, focused approach that works beneath the surface to bring lasting relief and clarity.

Safe and Sound Protocol

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through specially-filtered music. **This service requires an online subscription not covered by insurance and may occur additional costs.

Insurance Currently I am in-network with many Blue Cross plans. I do not accept EAP benefits. Your insurance carrier can verify if I am in-network with your plan and what your portion of payment will be. Insurance does require a medical diagnosis and medical necessity in order for them to cover services. They do reserve the right to access your notes and treatment plan and can dictate the course of treatment. Certain medical diagnoses will prohibit your ability to access certain services like life or disability insurance. Please discuss this with your provider if you have any questions.

Health Update: Masks are optional for all in personal appointments. If you are feeling ill or have likely been exposed to illness, please choose an online appointment. If you have an in person appointment and are possibly sick or exposed, please contact me so I can change your appointment to a video session.

Referrals: Rebecca Miller in my office is currently taking new referrals through her practice and is in-network with Regence Blue Shield.
