Trauma Resolution
When people experience traumatic events, symptoms may include insomnia, reliving the event, startle response, and denial that the event had an impact. Over time, these symptoms can lead to anxiety and depression. During sessions I use a variety of evidence based therapeutic approaches including; Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, Mindfulness, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Therapy. To determine if these forms of therapy will help in your treatment, we will complete a series of assessments.
TRAUMA RESOLUTION SERVICES
​
TRAUMA FOCUSED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
An evidence-based treatment model designed to assist with overcoming the negative effects of a traumatic experience. The main application is the treatment of posttraumatic stress and the goal is to help survivors of trauma. The core components of TF-CBT include; psychoeducation, relaxation, affective regulation, cognitive processing, trauma narrative, mastery of trauma reminders, and enhancing future safety.
BRAINSPOTTING
If you’re looking for healing from a traumatic experience with a Certified Brainspotter that cares, then you’ve come to the right place. Brainspotting is a revolutionary treatment method that works by becoming aware of a behavior or thought process, releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional and physical pain associated with PTSD symptoms.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
This is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that utilizes back and forth eye movements to help clients address common problems such as depression, anxiety, phobias and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is not the same as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), however they both use eye movements. In experiencing ART, you may find that you connect pieces of information that are already stored in your memory to help you resolve your issues. The brain, while focused on a problem and concurrently using eye movements, makes new connections with a person's strengths and problem solving abilities.
