Our Specialties

    A nature-based therapy that fuses together the healing benefits of the natural environment to improve mental well-being, reduce stress, and reconnect. Nature is a part of the treatment.

  • Family Systems Therapy

    A therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and improving the dynamics and interactions within a family to promote emotional health or navigate a traumatic or transitional event.

  • Somatic Experiencing

    A body-focused therapy that aims to relieve trauma-related stress by gently releasing stored physical tension and restoring the nervous system's balance.

  • Grief and Loss Therapy

    A supportive therapeutic process that helps individuals navigate and heal from the emotional pain associated with loss or traumatic experiences.

  • Flash Technique

    A rapid therapeutic method designed to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories without requiring the individual to fully engage with the distressing details.
