Therapy – as in psychotherapy – has a stigma in American society. Though we perceive ourselves generally in this culture as open-minded, we remain secretive about personal problems and leery of seeking help for them. Self-consciousness and emotional sensitivity and insecurity engage with rational skepticism in discouraging many people from pursuing interventions that could provide relief or change their lives.
Trauma leaves patterns in both mind and brain. Our approach combines psychotherapy with neurofeedback and alpha-theta training to help the nervous system release traumatic stress, easing hypervigilance, intrusive memories, and emotional reactivity.
