Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. 

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. 

 EMDR therapy is a phased, focused approach to treating trauma and other symptoms by reconnecting the traumatized person in a safe and measured way to the images, self-thoughts, emotions, and body sensations associated with the trauma, and allowing the natural healing powers of the brain to move toward adaptive resolution.  EMDR works because the “bilateral stimulation” bypasses the area of the brain that processes memories and has become stuck due to the trauma. When a difficult/traumatizing memory is stuck, it prevents the brain from properly processing and storing the memory. 

 Psychotherapy can be a useful tool in the treatment of eating disorders as it can teach you how to choose healthy habits over unhealthy ones. We can also help you learn how to watch your eating habits for patterns and to see how these eating patterns may correlate to your moods. We aim to modify distorted beliefs and attitudes about the meaning of weight, shape, and appearance, which are correlated to the development and maintenance of the eating disorder. 

Counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship.  A couples therapy session isn’t designed to be an hour a week where you point out your flaws and apologize profusely. It’s designed to bring out the best in you and your partner, strengthening the quality of your relationship, so that you can deal with issues in ways that support you to grow as individuals and a couple even when we as therapists are not there to moderate. 

 Teen counseling  focuses on improving  communication skills and interpersonal relationships. Your teen will learn how to regulate his, her, or their emotions and impulses.  Our therapists integrate families into sessions and also focus on helping teens with anxiety, depression, self-harm, academic struggles, adjustment difficulties, ADHD behavioral issues, bullying and more.

The Healing Effect LLC has partnered with Breakthrough Smash Room. We have a unique therapy meeting space at this facility where we can help you manage through difficult emotions, stress and anxiety.

 Online therapy has provided the ability to better fit therapy into a busy schedule, especially if you work unconventional hours, have children, or don't have access to reliable transportation.   The convenience of engaging in remote sessions, the cost savings, and the ability to freely text with us as your therapist are excellent motivators for giving it a try.
