Patient SERVICES

individual therapy

You may be experiencing emotional or psychological challenges that are making it difficult to maintain meaningful relationships, experience emotional fulfillment, or manage daily tasks and responsibilities. For many people, emotional and physical injuries from the past continue to cause suffering in the present.  

At Embody, individual therapy is utilized as an avenue to work toward security, safety, and emotional healing. Through the use of evidenced-based therapeutic interventions, participants are able to reduce suffering and move toward resiliency.

Family Therapy

At Embody, family therapy is provided to two main groups of people:

For people primarily accessing individual therapy who may benefit from the involvement of a family member in sessions for a distinct period of time.  These sessions can be utilized to resolve conflict, explore challenges within the relationship or increase opportunities for support.

For parents seeking support in utilizing parenting skills discussed in individual or couples counseling. During these sessions, parents are able to practice new approaches to positive behavior management with their child in the presence of the therapist. 

Parenting Support

Parenting is hard. We all struggle with navigating difficult conversations, discerning a parenting style that feels authentic and helping our children change undesirable behaviors. Many parents notice that their challenges vary from child to child, causing confusion and asking themselves, “this worked for one child. Why isn’t it working with this one?” 

At Embody, parents are provided with non-judgemental support and coaching to discover a parenting approach that works for them and their children.  Parents are provided with individual or couple’s counseling sessions aimed at exploring challenges and developing specific interventions.  Additionally, parents are encouraged to schedule intermittent family sessions to practice utilizing new techniques with their child(ren). 

“The parent-child connection is the most powerful mental health intervention known to mankind.”

- Bessel A. van der Kolk

YOGA AND MOVEMENT GROUPS

When we experience adverse life events such as trauma, abuse, oppression or relational challenges, we store that pain in the body.  As a result, you may experience uncomfortable physical sensations that increase emotional distress.  For some, this can show up as nausea, muscle tension, sleep disturbances, restlessness, fatigue or racing heartbeat.  I specialize in helping people gain awareness of their bodies and move toward a place of physical and emotional stability.

At Embody, yoga classes are specifically designed to ease the intensity of mental health symptoms.  Through the integration of mindfulness, intentional breathing techniques and physical body movements, participants gain resiliency and control over their bodies reactions to triggers.
