Here’s what we offer.
Couple Therapy
Married / Partnered / Engaged / Dating / Separated / Divorced
In the intricate dance of love and partnership, sometimes we stumble, lose our rhythm, hurt each other, or find ourselves in a web of misunderstandings. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) guides couples back to the harmonious connection they yearn for.
Trauma can cast a long shadow over our lives, affecting our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. But with the guidance of therapy through evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, you can embark on a transformative journey to clear the path to healing.
Trauma Therapy
In therapy, individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, learning practical tools to manage emotions, navigate relationships more effectively, and build resilience.
It provides a safe space for processing emotions, reducing stress, and gaining insight into one's identity and life transitions. Ultimately, individual psychotherapy promotes greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and overall life satisfaction.

EFT
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) celebrates the deep emotions that define our relationships. Here's how it can help you and your partner:
Break Free from Negative Patterns: EFT helps you recognize and change harmful communication habits.
Build a Stronger Bond: Learn to create a safe, loving connection with your partner.
Improve Communication: EFT gives you tools to express your feelings and understand each other better.
Heal Past Hurts: Find healing and forgiveness for old wounds, rebuilding trust along the way.
Rediscover Intimacy: Experience a renewed sense of closeness and passion as emotional walls come down.
Face Future Challenges Together: EFT equips you with skills to tackle life's ups and downs as a team.
Emotionally Focused Therapy offers hope for couples looking to deepen their love and build a stronger future together. It's all about nurturing emotional connection for a happier, more fulfilling relationship.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is a groundbreaking approach to healing trauma and emotional distress. Here's how it works:
Assessment and Trust-Building: Your therapist assesses your trauma history and creates a safe space for healing.
Target Memories: Together, you pinpoint specific memories causing distress.
Bilateral Stimulation: Using eye movements or other cues, your therapist helps your brain process these memories.
Reprocessing: This allows your brain to reprocess traumatic events, reducing emotional distress.
Integration: As sessions progress, you gain insight, develop coping skills, and feel more in control.
Resilience: EMDR not only eases symptoms but also builds resilience for a fulfilling life.
Benefits of EMDR:
Fast Relief: EMDR often brings quicker results than traditional therapy.
Lasting Change: It leads to long-term improvements in well-being.
Empowerment: You take an active role in your healing journey.
Symptom Reduction: It effectively reduces anxiety, depression, and flashbacks.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy integrates various therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to offer a tailored path towards personal growth and well-being.
This approach involves crafting customized treatment plans that address your specific needs, allowing you to explore and accept challenging emotions while taking meaningful steps forward.
Within a safe therapeutic space, you can delve into emotional exploration, foster inner harmony, and acquire practical skills to manage emotions and relationships. By combining these methods, therapy aims for holistic healing, addressing root issues and empowering you to overcome challenges with confidence.

We have therapists who are in-network with Optum/United and UMR insurance companies. For clients with out-of-network coverage, we can provide a superbill for potential insurance reimbursement. However, it's important for clients to check their benefits and inquire whether their company reimburses for out-of-network providers.
-
For cash-paying clients, fees vary by therapist. Michelle Pomeroy's sessions are $150 each, while Abby Powell and Jess Sullivan charge $100 per session.
-
I ask that clients cancel at least 24 hours in advance. If cancellation happens within 24 hours, clients are subject to the full session fee. This is to maintain a healthy therapeutic relationship.
