Therapy Approaches

Each of us is the sum of our experiences in life. The secret is discovering how those experiences interrelate. Mind, Body & Soul Therapeutic Services, LLC offers professional counselling in the areas described below.

Children

Child therapy is a field of psychological treatment that is focused on helping children to cope with and understand their emotions. There are a wide variety of child therapy approaches, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses. Some common child therapy approaches include play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy. Play therapy is often used with younger children, as it can be an effective way to help them express their feelings through play. Art therapy can be helpful for both younger and older children, as it allows them to express themselves creatively. Talk therapy is usually used with older children, as it can help them to understand and process their emotions in a more verbal way. No matter what child therapy approach is used, the goal is always to help the child to cope with and understand their emotions in a healthy way.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that was developed in the 1980s to help people who were suffering from trauma. EMDR has been found to be an effective treatment for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and it is also sometimes used to treat anxiety, depression, and other disorders. EMDR works by helping the brain to process and store memories in a more efficient way. Our Therapists will guide the client's eyes back and forth, and this motion is thought to help the brain to access and process memories that are stored in a different part of the brain.

EMDR can be a very effective treatment for many people, and it is often used in combination with other therapies.

Brainspotting (BSP)

Brainspotting (BSP) therapy is a type of therapy that uses spots in a person's visual field to help them process trauma. It accesses trauma trapped in the subcortical brain, the area of the brain responsible for motion, consciousness, emotions, and learning. BSP makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the BSP therapist locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. BSP can also be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience. BSP is designed as a therapeutic tool that can be integrated into many of the healing modalities. BSP is even more powerful when used with the enhancement of BioLateral Sound CDs.
