Our therapist, Brittany Attwood, has worked with a lot of mental health issues so it is best to reach out via our contact page to ask more specific questions of our therapist expertise. However, she has most frequently with adults who have experienced some type of prolonged stress or trauma--anywhere from domestic violence to medical trauma to the sudden loss of a loved one. Often times when one experiences prolonged stress or trauma, a variety of other symptoms/concerns arise as well, for example: anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, work stress and low self-esteem, to name just a few. All of these concerns and more not listed here can be addressed in our therapy sessions.

Brittany also love to work with clients who come from many different backgrounds, gender identities, sexual identities, cultural experiences, as well as those with neurodivergence and accessibility needs. As you can see, this space can't possibly capture the vast amount of differences and needs that we all carry as unique humans, but no matter what yours are, we are here to help! Contact us to have any other questions answered!

Our therapist, Brittany Attwood, has worked with children from blended families, adoptive families, those who have been witness to domestic violence, and those living with various neurodivergences (either acquired or from birth) most often. She also commonly sees a child/teen client who is searching for support due to struggling with things like: academics, low self-esteem, anxiety, as well as those processing the loss of a family member and working to manage depression symptoms and medical fears as well.

Trauma in one sense is self-defined. Meaning that what is considered traumatic to you may not be considered trauma to another person. However, the typical therapeutic definition of trauma is: witnessing or personally experiencing "actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence”* this injury includes physical, sexual, and psychological injuries.

Remember, whether you have experienced trauma or not: your feelings are valid, and we're here to help you navigate them.

*This definition comes from the DSM-5

Our individual therapy sessions are conducted entirely online through our secure client portal. The intake session is a chance for us to get to know each other better. During this session, you'll complete a biopsychosocial assessment and some diagnostic measurements. We'll also discuss your goals for counseling and gather details about your mental health history to create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Our standard rate for private pay/self-pay clients is $100 per session. However, we understand that financial situations vary, so we offer sliding scale rates for session fees. These sliding scale rates are based on your needs and sliding scale slot availability at the time of your consult call. If the self-pay fee is still a challenge, we can provide a superbill upon request to help you with attempting to offset costs. We're also working on accepting more insurance providers. You will receive a Good Faith Estimate for expected costs during paperwork completion prior to services being rendered so there are no surprises. Visit our Fees & Forms page for the latest information on insurance options. Reach out to learn more about our current openings!

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured therapy modality that focuses on dual attention- the client focuses briefly on trauma memory while experiencing some form of bilateral stimulation simultaneously. This bilateral stimulation (BLS) can come in the form of self-tapping/butterfly hug, a light bar, auditory (if utilizing EMDR for chronic pain), or following the therapist's fingers with your eyes--it just depends on the client's comfort but all types achieve and support the healing process in the same way. EMDR requires extensive training and specialty work. EMDR training from EMDRIA (the international association) is the gold standard for EMDR training facility as it is the most extensive and in-depth version, with required consultation and practice before training completion. This is the training our therapist received.

Absolutely! Our therapist is trained to provide EMDR therapy both online and in-person. Research shows that EMDR is just as effective virtually as it is face-to-face. This therapy can be used for more than just trauma; it's also effective for anxiety, depression, and chronic pain as well. Our therapist is also specialty trained in utilizing EMDR for chronic pain, which a very small population of therapists are, too. Contact us to begin your EMDR journey today.

The number of therapy sessions you'll need to address your concerns can vary because everyone is unique! While weekly sessions often yield the best results, some clients prefer bi-weekly sessions. It all depends on what works best for you, your symptoms, and your counseling goals. We'll discuss the best plan for you during our FREE 15-minute consultation call after you reach out. Just know, you don't have to finish all of your therapy sessions to begin to feel better. Most clients begin to feel better simply by beginning the therapy journey and doing the first 2-3 sessions, because while healing takes work, it is reassuring to know you have support and are not carrying the burden quietly or alone anymore!
