Cactus Flower Healing

Stress and burnout are practically a given for women today. We use a combination of cognitive therapies (thinking about your thinking), mindfulness, and somatic interventions (body based skills) to help relieve your stress and worry. Sometimes just having a safe place to share can help you untangle the knot of anxious thinking and physical complaints.

Revisiting the past can feel scary and overwhelming, but trauma based therapy is one of the most effective ways to heal your pain. We can support you to work through past hurts to find peace in the present. Working with a trauma therapist can help your brain and body integrate the things that have happened to you into your story of who you are. Our therapists are EMDR trained and have additional training in treating dissociative disorders.

We generally weave principles of ACT throughout sessions. ACT uses metaphors to illustrate concepts, which helps our brains not get stuck in literal thought and past interpretations. It's also helpful to get a sense of your values and what is important in your life. ACT uses a foundation of mindfulness to enable greater self awareness and insight and we will teach mindfulness skills during session and encourage you to have an at home practice.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a form of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) based on balancing change and acceptance. DBT does this through teaching new skills that can change the way people behave, while at the same time accepting that we are doing the best we can right now. We use DBT in some aspect with almost all of our clients. DBT is manualized and has a skills training manual so there are handouts we provide to strengthen your in session learning.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy designed to take a holistic approach to recovery from traumatic and distressing events. EMDR uses a client centered approach, which allows the client and therapist to work collaboratively on lessening the pain and emotional charge brought on by memories and new experiences of trauma.
