When someone experiences a traumatic event, their body's physical and psychological defenses take over and create a specific response to the stress they feel. It results in a variety of physical symptoms and an escalation in the emotional experience. Trauma can have a powerful influence on a person's behavior.
But healing is possible. With our specialized therapeutic services, any client can elevate their quality of life and rise above the results of the trauma they have experienced.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) connects the traumatized person in a safe and measured way to the images, self-thoughts, emotions, and body sensations associated with trauma so that the brain's natural healing ability can take over and mend the person's mind.
Often, children do not have the words to describe the trauma they've been through, nor are they developmentally able to process their emotions without help. We use play, toys, and games to help the child explore, express, and safely experience the difficulties they are working through.
This service is for individuals whose trauma has had debilitating effects, requiring a higher level of care. A 1-on-1 therapist is assigned to a client and will help them with the normal day-to-day activities of daily living. Clients will receive 24-hour support, 7 days a week.
We recognize that not everyone has the ideal support system, so we step into the gap. From giving guidance and advice to being picked up from school to providing tutoring (and so much more!), we're here to support children who do not have access to healthy parental figures.
In many cases, trauma can affect employment. We work with individuals to not only process their trauma but practically train and prepare them to reenter the workforce and ensure they feel confident in their ability to succeed.
We provide behavior coaching to help kids improve their relationships with their peers, authority figures, and family members. We also offer academic tutoring within alternative classroom environments where children can concentrate on their education in ways that improve their success rates.
Come spend the weekend with us and learn the skills you need to build a unified, healthy family unit. We will cover behaviors that encourage strong relationships and teach practical techniques for taking care of normal household operations.
