Brainspotting Therapy

Brainspotting (BSP) is a rapid and highly effective mind-body treatment that uses relevant eye positions to access the brain’s innate self-scanning and self-healing capacities.  BSP can help people heal from experiences including, but not limited to, trauma, anxiety, depression and chronic pain.  Brainspotting providers have specialized training in this technique.

Play Therapy

Play Therapy is not the same as regular, everyday play.  while spontaneous play is a natural and essential part of the developmental process, Play Therapy is a systematic and therapeutic approach.  Play Therapy is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges.  Licensed professionals use play therapeutically to help clients better process their experiences and develop more effective strategies for managing their worlds.  Research suggests Play Therapy is an effective mental health approach, regardless of age, gender, or the nature of the problem, and works best when a parent, family member, or caretaker is actively involved in the treatment process.

Pediatric Exposure & Response Prevention

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy is one of the most effective forms of treatment for OCD. ERP therapy is a behavioral therapy that gradually exposes people to situations designed to provoke a person’s obsessions in a safe environment. A hallmark of ERP is that is doesn’t completely remove distressing situations and thoughts. Not only can distress not be eliminated from someone’s life altogether but doing so would make it impossible for patients to cope during everyday situations. ERP provides a patient with coping skills for when a triggering situation presents itself, allowing them to then use the skills to prevent their compulsion from taking over. When getting started with ERP, obsessions will remain a challenge in the short term, but they will no longer seem overwhelming. By further developing coping skills, ERP can free people from the cycle of obsession and compulsion.
