Individual Counseling

Helping you find freedom & peace.

You have everything within you to figure this out .

Whatever is going on in your life that is causing you to feel “off” can get better. As different issues pop up we have the choice to try and figure this out by ourselves or take the leap, sit across the couch from a therapist, and actually learn about ourselves and how to best heal and deal with circumstances so we are better equipped when difficulty arises.

Let us help you discover life’s joys again.

Our number one goal is to make you feel seen, safe and comfortable whether you are coming in person or we are meeting through telehealth. Therapy is hard, but the benefits that can be gained from some deep emotional work whether its for depression, anxiety, ADHD, truama, family issues, self-esteem, body image, and more are incredibly helpful.

 
 

EMDR Therapy for Individuals…

One of the primary modalities of therapy used at Encounter is EMDR. EMDR stands for Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Don’t let the big fancy name scare you. EMDR is an extremely popular type of therapy developed in the 1980’s designed to heal all types of trauma. It is a relatively short term therapy that heals the roots of mental and emotional struggles so you can experience freedom and happiness again.

You maybe thinking “Trauma? I haven’t experienced any trauma.” or “I have experienced trauma and don’t know what to do about it.” Unfortunately, to be human is to experience hardship and these hardships can be traumatic and difficult for your brain to process. In this case “trauma” can be defined as an ongoing or incidental difficulty you’ve experienced in life that continues to cause uncomfortable or difficult symptoms. Some of these symptoms include mood or anxiety struggles, negative self esteem, flashbacks and triggers, negative beliefs about yourself, unhealthy coping strategies, difficulty in relationships and so much more.

EMDR essentially gives your brain the opportunity to heal so you can move forward with your life and not be stuck with what happened to you in the past. If you find yourself repeating the same negative cycles personally, professionally or relationally and have no idea what to do to get out of these cycles and feel healthy and experience healing EMDR would be fantastic for you.
