Therapy Treatment Approaches
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps clients work on problematic patterns in relationships, career, family, and with anxiety, depression, and moods. Gestalt is a present centered psychodynamic therapy that tracks in the moment your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations to integrate these and guide you to realize your potential to live and love fully. Important elements: trusting client-therapist relationship, awareness, contact, healing space, to experience and give voice to all parts of yourself.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy may be helpful in stress and weight management, smoking cessation, sleep issues, phobias, and sexual issues. Uses ideas and suggestion to guide clients to an altered state for therapeutic purposes that involves focus of attention, body awareness, and mental imagery. This creative and powerful method emphasizes possibility and positive expectations. Reconnects clients with their natural resourcefulness and helps restore self-trust, improves one’s mood, reduces anxiety.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is designed to help clients move quickly out of stuck and blocked places. Recognized as one of the most effective ways to treat PTSD, other stress, trauma, anxiety disorders. Causes minimal disturbance by developing the client’s resources, and uses bilateral stimulation to achieve effective results. Also uses strategic interventions to help the client resolve issues and move forward. Audrey is trained in EMDR and a member of the International Association.
Sensory Awareness
Sensory Awareness is a therapy approach where clients become more connected to what is happening in their body and central nervous system through all their senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, intuition. Exploring sensory awareness invites clients to take time to develop a felt sense of their bodies’ sensations, actions, reactions, and resources. This awareness/sensitivity allows a shift in their nervous system to a more regulated state with new perceptions.
