EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy technique used to help individuals process traumatic memories. It works by stimulating the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps. This stimulation helps the brain reprocess the traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing the individual to move forward with their life. EMDR is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced trauma and struggle with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

IFS - Parts of Self
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a powerful approach that recognizes the natural diversity of the mind. Imagine your mind as a family with different parts of you playing different roles.
When we use IFS in therapy, it helps us heal by talking and understanding these internal parts. It also helps us connect better with ourselves, promoting connectivity by guiding individuals to access their inner self and understand their parts.
Beyond therapy, IFS is a way to navigate life with confidence, calmness, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connection.

Sandtray Therapy
Sand therapy is a form of therapy where clients use sand and miniature toys to create scenes in a tray of sand. The therapist provides a safe and supportive environment for the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through the creation of these sand scenes.
The act of creating these scenes can help clients express themselves in a non-verbal way, allowing them to access deeper emotions, memories and trauma. The therapist then helps the client explore and process these emotions and experiences, leading to healing and personal growth.
Sand therapy helps people gain insight into their emotions and experiences, promotes self-expression, and facilitates healing.
Play Therapy Services
Play therapy is highly effective and based on the understanding that play is not just a child's way of having fun; it's also their natural language for processing emotions and experiences. In play therapy, children are provided with a safe and nurturing space where they can freely express themselves through play. Through play activities, children can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a non-threatening manner. Play therapy is particularly beneficial for children who may have difficulty expressing themselves verbally or who have experienced trauma or challenging life circumstances.
