EMDR Therapy
Let our experienced EMDR therapists help you process and move past them. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven therapeutic approach that facilitates the processing of traumatic events, ensuring they no longer hold power over you. Our specialists are trained to help you find release and closure from emotional pain and unproductive communication, empowering you to lead a life unburdened by past traumas.
-
Couples Therapy
Relationships require work, and our therapists are here to guide you and your partner. Using a range of therapeutic techniques and commitment therapy, our professional counseling focuses on enhancing mutual understanding, rebuilding trust, and cultivating intimacy. With Elston, couples counseling can find the tools and guidance they need to navigate therapeutic relationship challenges and embrace a shared future for a satisfying relationship filled with love and understanding.
-
Adolescent Group Therapy
If your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, socialization, or has recently experienced loss or change; he/she/they may benefit greatly from group therapy. This type of treatment is very effective in treating various problems and providing coping skills while also creating a safe environment that fosters peer relationships.
-
Teen/Child Counseling
The journey from childhood through adolescence is dappled with vibrant discoveries and pivotal transitions. Itβs a period abundant with curiosity, exploration, but also, often, a myriad of emotional and psychological challenges. As they navigate through academic pressures, peer interactions, family dynamics, and self-identity formulations, children and teens may encounter emotional hurdles that require a compassionate, professional hand to guide them through.
