Our Approach
Our work is trauma-informed and paced around each client’s readiness, safety, and goals. Depending on the clinician and the client’s needs, therapy may include approaches such as EMDR, parts work, somatic awareness, attachment-focused therapy, and trauma-informed therapy.
What to Expect
Therapy begins with an assessment of your concerns, history, current circumstances, and goals. Your clinician will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan and decide which approaches are appropriate for your needs.
Sessions are provided online through a secure video platform. Appointment availability, insurance participation, and private-pay options vary by clinician.
Therapy, Coaching, Groups, and Classes
Therapy includes clinical assessment and treatment of mental-health symptoms and is available only when the client is physically located in Florida.
Recovery coaching, support groups, and educational classes are separate services and may be available more broadly, including internationally.
