Counseling & Therapy Services
at Inner Journey Counseling
Couples Therapy
Learning how to handle conflict resolution and possessing good relationship skills allows you to truly listen to others so they feel heard, communicate in a non-blaming manner in a way that others are better able to hear you , express differences in ways that enhance the relationship, and rediscover what attracts you to each other.
Addictions & Depression
I believe that traditional approaches to addiction therapy have some value, however, they do not get at the root issue. Think of the addict as having a metaphorical hole in their heart that they are trying to fill with the addictive behavior. When I work with a client with addiction issues, I help them identify what the root cause(s) are and work on healing those wounds.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
An experiential technique used to heal emotional wounds that have been inflicted by past trauma (emotional, physical, or sexual abuse). It was originally done with eye movement however there are now a number of other ways to accomplish the desired result.
Clinical Hypnosis
Under going Clinical Hypnosis, or Hypnotherapy, involves the client entering into a state of deep relaxation and inner focus in which the client is fully awake and able to focus on changing unconscious beliefs that are blocking them from accomplishing their life goals. Hypnosis allows the formation of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a therapy technique that helps people learn how to identify and change unhelpful or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their lives.
Anxiety & Depression
In my experience, people are generally depressed and/or anxious for one of three main reasons; Trauma, being dissatisfied with life, and/or genetics. I have a number of approaches that can be used to treat anxiety and depression including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Hypnosis, Mindfulness, and Exposure Therapy. I also do Life coaching to help my clients to create a satisfying life.
How Do I Know if Therapy is Right for Me?
At Inner Journey Counseling I start out by getting to know you, understanding what is important to you, discovering what your values and strengths are, and identifying what is preventing you from living a life in accordance with those values. Once we have identified these blocks, I use a variety of methods that work together to remove those blocks so that you can express your true self.
The particular approach taken will depend on the individual(s) being treated.
