At Greenwood Counseling Center we approach grief counseling by building trust with our clients and learning about their unique journey. We seek to understand each client’s mental model of the world and as such, recognize that healing looks different for each person. We are open to discussions about spirituality and know that spiritual beliefs vary widely with each individual. This often overlooked area may play a significant part of healing from loss.

Trauma and the effects of it can lead to PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, or depression. We are here to help you navigate whatever you have endured, be it an issue from early childhood trauma or abuse or more recent events, we specialize therapy that provides the necessary tools and support for healing. Our team of experts specialize in EMDR therapy, a highly effective treatment method for PTSD that helps process and heal the deep wounds of trauma by utilizing bilateral stimulation techniques.

Although life is complicated for everyone at times, those challenges are magnified when they are coupled with worry and fear. Our approach to anxiety counseling is one that is very collaborative and looks at the unique circumstances of each client. We use a variety of evidence based therapies, such as EMDR therapy, to relieve the anxiety symptoms so that clients can better navigate life without the added stressors created by anxiety.

We work with individuals and couples who have endured a trauma helping them learn to thrive again. We utilize a combination of grounding and resource building techniques, cognitive therapies, and most importantly, EMDR therapy to help the client move past the traumas that are holding them back from an empowered life.

We believe in the healing power of relationships. The therapeutic relationship can become an avenue to explore attachment wounds and traumas to help our clients feel seen and heard. We incorporate this approach into all of our work with both individuals and couples because we believe that relationships are at the core of all meaningful healing.

We specialize in EMDR therapy. Our counseling center is founded by an EMDR therapy trainer and our practice is focused primarily on this modality to provide pervasive healing for our clients. Through the use of EMDR therapy, we can address the root of the problems and bring broad healing to the client, reducing triggers, improving day to day functioning and instilling a renewed sense of hope for the future.
