SERVICES
It’s not always clear where to start. You might know something isn’t working, but not exactly what kind of help you need. Each approach here offers a different way to work through what’s been building and find something that actually fits.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
There are experiences from the past that stay with you in ways that are hard to explain. You might notice it in your body first: a tightness in your chest, a drop in your stomach, or a sense of tension that shows up without warning. EMDR therapy helps your brain process these experiences so they no longer feel as present or disruptive in your day-to-day life.
What EMDR Can Help With
EMDR is often used when past experiences continue to show up in ways that feel difficult to manage.
These may include:
- Intrusive memories or images
- Strong reactions to reminders
- Feeling constantly on edge
- Emotional responses that feel out of proportion
How EMDR Works
EMDR supports your brain’s natural ability to process and integrate experiences. Rather than only talking through the past, sessions engage memory, emotion, and body awareness together, so what feels stuck can begin to shift.
What EMDR Sessions Are Like
EMDR sessions focus on bringing up a specific memory or experience while staying connected to what you are noticing in your body and thoughts. Your therapist guides you through this in a structured way, helping you move through the experience without getting pulled into it. Over time, what once felt immediate can begin to feel more distant and less intense.
What You Can Expect
Over time, what once felt overwhelming can start to feel more manageable. There may be more space between what happens and how your body responds.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS therapy helps you work with reactions, inner conflicts, and emotional patterns that often form through trauma. By engaging these patterns rather than overriding them, this work supports greater clarity and steadiness, so your responses feel less driven by past experiences and more intentional in the present.
Understanding Your Internal System
You might notice this as going back and forth in your head, reacting in ways you didn’t expect, or feeling like part of you wants one thing while another part shuts it down. This work helps you slow that down and understand what is driving those reactions.
What IFS Can Help With
IFS therapy can be helpful when you notice strong self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or patterns that keep repeating even when you try to change them. It can also help when your reactions don’t fully make sense to you or feel harder to control than you’d like.
What Sessions Are Like
Sessions are slower and more reflective. You spend time noticing what is coming up in the moment and working with it directly, rather than trying to change it right away. Your therapist helps guide your attention so you can understand what is happening internally without getting overwhelmed by it.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
KAP is used when insight alone has not led to change. You may understand your patterns and experiences, but still find it difficult to access or work through them. This approach combines ketamine with therapy to support a different way of engaging with that work.
What KAP Can Help With
KAP may be helpful when therapy hasn’t really shifted things, when certain patterns feel hard to get to, or when your emotional experience feels distant or difficult to access.
How KAP works
Ketamine is used alongside therapy in a structured setting. It can lower some of the usual barriers that make it hard to access certain thoughts or emotions, allowing them to come forward in a different way. Therapy then focuses on helping you understand and work through what comes up.
Preparation & Integration
Preparation focuses on helping you get clear on what you’re coming in with and making sure you feel ready for the session. This includes understanding what the experience may be like and how to stay oriented during it.
Integration is where you work through what came up during the session. This part of the process helps you make sense of the experience, connect it to what you’ve been carrying, and begin applying it in a way that feels useful in your day-to-day life.
What KAP Sessions Are Like
KAP sessions are different than standard therapy. You are still supported the entire time, but the experience can bring things up more directly. Your therapist is there with you, helping you stay grounded and work through what comes up without getting pulled too far into it.
Is KAP a Good Fit?
We take time to figure out if this makes sense for you. This usually includes some therapy work up front so we can understand what you’re dealing with and whether this approach actually fits before moving forward.
WALK & TALK THERAPY
There is something different about being outdoors. Walking can loosen what stays locked up inside. The rhythm of your steps, the open air, and the space around you can make it easier for thoughts to surface and tension to ease. These sessions offer a grounded setting to explore what’s been weighing on you while your therapist walks beside you, helping you work through what comes up.
How Sessions Work
Sessions take place in a planned outdoor location, like a trail or walking path. You and your therapist walk together while talking through what’s coming up, with the same focus as an in-office session.
Who is This a Good Fit For?
For some people, sitting across from a therapist can feel uncomfortable or hard to stay present in. Being outside and moving can make it easier to talk, think more clearly, and stay engaged in the conversation.
What You Can Expect
Being outside can change how the conversation feels. It can be easier to talk, pause, or sit with something without the pressure of being face-to-face. The work is still focused and intentional, just in a setting that allows things to unfold a bit more naturally.
Veterans & First Responders
You trained for this. You learned how to stay focused, push through, and handle situations most people never see. Over time, that starts to build. The calls, the hours, what you’ve been exposed to. You may notice feeling more on edge, more shut down, or disconnected from the version of you that feels well. This work starts from an understanding of that.
Understanding Your Experience
You don’t have to explain the job or justify what you’ve seen. Therapy starts from a place of understanding what these environments are like and how they affect you over time.
What Therapy Can Help With
This can help if you’re feeling constantly on edge, shutting down, getting short with people, or having a hard time turning things off. It can also help if you feel disconnected from yourself or the people around you, or like things are starting to build in a way you can’t quite shake.
Our Approach
Sessions are straightforward. You set the pace, and the work stays focused on what matters without getting pulled into unnecessary detail.
When possible, same-day or next-day appointments may be available.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect. It helps you start to notice patterns in how you think and respond, especially in moments where things feel automatic or hard to shift. From there, you begin to question those patterns, try different responses, and see what actually changes in your day-to-day life.
How CBT Works
You start by paying closer attention to what’s going through your mind in certain situations and how that connects to what you feel and how you respond. Sessions often include looking at specific situations, breaking them down, and trying out more workable ways of responding that you can carry into your day-to-day life.
What Sessions Are Life
Sessions are structured and focused. You spend time looking at specific situations, understanding what happened, and working through how you might respond differently next time. There is often a back-and-forth between talking things through and applying what you’re learning to real situations.
Using CBT in Real Life
What you talk through in session is meant to carry over into your day-to-day life. This might look like responding differently in the moment, catching something earlier, or trying a new way of handling a situation and seeing what changes. Over time, you may start to notice more awareness of how you think and respond in certain situations. This can make it easier to catch things earlier and shift how you handle them.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
There are moments where things build fast. Your reaction comes before you have time to think, and once it starts, it’s hard to slow down. DBT focuses on helping you stay in those moments without them taking over, so you can get through them without things escalating further.
How DBT Works
DBT is focused on what you can do in the moment. You learn specific ways to slow things down, stay grounded, and get through intense situations without making them worse. These are things you practice and use in real time, not just talk about.
What Sessions Are Life
Sessions are more direct and focused. You look at real situations where things escalated and break down what happened, then work through how to handle those moments differently next time.
Using DBT in Real Life
This tends to come up in the moment. You might catch it before it goes too far, pause instead of saying something you don’t mean, or get through a situation without it escalating.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Sometimes the focus is less on what’s wrong and more on where you’re trying to go. This approach looks at what is already working, even in small ways, and builds from there to create movement forward.
How it Works
Sessions focus on what is already in place and how to use that to move forward. The focus stays on what’s useful, rather than breaking everything down.
What Sessions Are Life
Sessions are more focused and forward-moving. You spend less time going into the past and more time working through what’s happening now and where you want to go next.
Use Real Life
This shows up in small shifts. Doing more of what is already working, approaching situations a little differently, and building momentum from there.
End-Of-Life Doula Services
The end of life brings up a lot all at once. There are decisions to make, conversations that haven’t happened, and things that feel hard to face directly. This work is about not having to do that alone. Someone there with you through it, helping you stay with what matters and move through what needs to be faced.
How We Help
Support with planning and logistics, including advanced directives, wills, and end-of-life arrangements. There is also space to understand a diagnosis, think through options, and make decisions that align with what matters most.
Emotional Support
This includes support for both the individual and their loved ones. It can look like having space to process what’s coming up, preparing for what lies ahead, and having conversations that may be difficult to start on your own. Support for caregivers can continue after loss, with space to reflect and begin moving forward.
Spiritual Support
Facilitating rituals or connecting you with spiritual or religious support that aligns with your beliefs, if that is something you want.
Legacy and Meaning
Creating something that reflects how you want to be remembered or what you want to leave behind for the people in your life.
Coordination
Working alongside your care team, coordinating with providers, and connecting you with additional resources when needed.
Environment and Space
Helping create a space where you feel more at ease in your final days, based on what matters most to you.
