Our clinicians are trained in a variety of trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ competent and culturally competent methods designed to help you through your individual Journey. In our first few sessions with you, we establish safety and confidentiality, understand your unique experiences, define goals from your perspective, and create a treatment plan to reach those goals.
Once we embark on your Journey to a Trauma Informed Life, we revisit your goals and plan at least every three months to ensure you are pleased with your progress. Once your goals are completed, we slowly decrease how often we meet until it is time to end our relationship. Don’t worry about contacting us again when something comes up! Once you become a “Journeyer,” our doors are open for you to return when you need to!
Approaches:
- Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
Play Therapy
Journey has a number of clinicians with experience using child-centered play therapy to assist children and adolescents who have experienced traumatic and difficult events.
We contract with a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor and a Registered Play Therapist in order to consult on the ways a teen or child are trying to communicate their hurt through the way they play, draw, use music, or other expressive outlets.
Hurt children do play differently, and we help them and their loved ones understand how they are hurting and lead them towards healing using their language.
