Grief & Loss Counseling

Grief from the loss of a loved one, a pet, a job, or anything can be devastating. Some people never get over a loss without help. The use of medication for grief is usually inappropriate because it tends to block emotions temporarily which leaves them unresolved and may leave the person dependent on medication. It is now possible to complete brief from almost anything much faster than you might think. We provide personal support and techniques that can thoroughly relieve grief in ways that have rarely been accomplished heretofore.

Physical Pain Counseling

The directive is to work with the stress component of injury, illness, and physical pain. When pain occurs there is an emotional response to it, whether this response is ignored or expressed. The stress hormones emerging from the emotional reaction further contributes to the pain, which escalates pain to continue the cycle. We interrupt this cycle by reducing the emotional distress that often reduces the pain. Over a series of sessions, the long-term pattern of pain tends to end. Long-term elimination of physical pain is the goal and usually occurs in a brief series of sessions. However, fibromyalgia is typically relieved in six weeks and reflex sympathetic dystrophy may take longer.

PTSD Counseling

This approach can provide unusually rapid relief of the symptoms from traumatic experiences. Trauma involves parts of the brain that are usually not accessible through conscious, verbal interaction alone. Therefore, methods that reach non-conscious, somatic experiences have particular value in treatment. Precise visual brain stimulation in conjunction with an interpersonal process is an effective means for changing symptoms of traumatic experiences.

Trauma Counseling & Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT)

Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) can provide rapid relief of the symptoms from traumatic experiences. Trauma involves parts of the brain that are usually not accessible through conscious, verbal interaction alone. Therefore, methods that reach non-conscious, somatic experiences have particular value in treatment. Precise visual brain stimulation in conjunction with an interpersonal process is an effective means for changing symptoms of traumatic experiences.
