Play Therapy
Play is a child’s way of communicating what they are experiencing internally and it is frequently
a more effective means of communicating than with language. It is very effective when
working with young children who have not developed effective verbal skills.
Play Therapy differs from regular play in that the counselor helps children systematically
address and resolve their own problems.
Play Therapy refers to a large number of expressive methods, and can be used for all ages,
including adults.
Energy Psychology Works with the energy systems to release emotions that have
resulted in a disruption of the natural energetic flow and assist in releasing old beliefs and
patterns.
Hypnosis, NLP & other Techniques
Have been researched and proven effective at many higher institutions of learning. They can
be used to empower clients, change habits, improve life situations and relationships.
Hypnosis is not the treatment of choice for every situation and is not recommended for clients
who may have court involvement.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR is a treatment that has proven to be very successful when working with people who
have experienced abuse and trauma as well as other life difficulties such as anxiety, stress,
anger, and much more.
EMDR has been used successfully since the 1980s, and it is based on the hypothesis that
there is a physiological component to each emotional complaint, and when traumatic events
occur the biochemical balance of the brains physical information processing system is upset.
This imbalance prevents the information processing from proceeding to a state of adaptive
resolution resulting in the person maintaining the original perceptions, emotions, beliefs and
meanings derived from the experience. In effect, the experiences are locked in the nervous
system. EMDR’s rhythmic intervention is thought to be a form of adaptive information
processing that may unlock the brain’s information processing system and allowing the locked
experiences to be processed.
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is used to release undesirable emotions and remove blocks allowing the individual more
control over their life and to live a happier, healthier and more productive life. It is based on the
concept of the Eastern meridian systems of the body where energy, thought and emotions
overlap.
It is a systematic structure of taping and working with the meridian to release undesirable
emotions and to restructure and renew desirable emotions.
Groups
Children's Spiritual Group
Children who have had extra sensory experiences, or they are very sensitive to the feelings,
thoughts and moods of others, or report seeing or talking to angels, etc. These children are
gifted but these experiences can be very confusing and disturbing without adequate knowledge
and appropriate coping skills. These children are very sensitive to the energy around them and
frequently take on the energy of their surroundings. They are very sensitive to the energy of
the world that we live in due to the shift in the energy of our new children. Some may call these
children Indigo, Crystal or Rainbow children.
This Spiritual group provides an opportunity: to connect with others who have had similar
experiences, feel accepted and appreciated for their gifts, develop an understanding of the
scientific and spiritual aspects of these experiences, Learn how to cope and control their gifts,
and Improve focus and concentration abilities.
Children's Mindfulness Group
Many children today have symptoms of ADHD any many choose to medicate their children,
however medication works for a limited time span. This group allows children to develop skills
that will help them throughout their life time. Some believe that skill development and
medication management gives their child better coping skills to navigate life successfully.
Much of the inattentiveness, impulsiveness and hyperactivity is rooted in the feelings of not
being able to meet the expectation of our society and therefore not being accepted and
appreciated for who they. Many of these children are very sensitive and have difficulty filtering
out the feelings, thoughts and activities in their environment. Which means they ultimately know
when they are not meeting the expectation of the society they live in.
Adult's Groups groups are offered for adults who are interested in changing their life by
changing their energy patterns. This is an exciting time since scientific research is now able to
explain how and why many of the ancient spiritual healing practices work.
Several adult groups are offered.
