We at Cira Center for Behavioral Health (CCBH) believe that therapy is based on research & science, both of which are incredibly important, but know that nothing is more important than feeling heard & understood without any judgment. When a strong, supportive relationship is combined with direct feedback and skill building, people change & lives improve. We primarily work with adults who are struggling with significant life changes (divorce, starting a family, moving to a new city, etc), stress, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem & trauma. We offer individual & group therapy services.
Myself & my associates specialize in trauma & women's health (Certified Clinical Trauma Professionals, CCTP) Trauma includes physical, sexual, verbal &/or emotional abuse; a caretaker who struggled with their own physical/mental illness, addiction or divorce/separation, etc. We also work with single incident traumas (sexual assault, accidents, divorce, etc).
CCBH is proud to offer Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidenced based intervention that has been proven effective for treating chronic as well as single incident trauma. I have been using this technique for several years now and have seen tremendous progress in a very short amount of time.
