The Healing Wheel PLLC
Areas of Expertise
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing encourages change talk. This kind of therapy challenges one to resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities. The goal is to find the internal motivation to change one's behavior. This form of therapy employs empathy, patience, reflection and a didactic approach towards change.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma Therapy provides one the opportunity to have an integrative self mentally, physically, spiritually and social-emotionally by processing through one's trauma timeline, in order to create a balanced lifestyle. This therapeutic approach encourages the client to address unfinished business. One becomes aware of the present problem and symptoms of the past that have never been addressed. Coping strategies are employed throughout the process to invoke healing and/or forgiveness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aids in the improvement of healing by examining one’s irrational concepts of self, cognitive distortions and behaviors. The goal is to improve one’s negative concepts of self by developing coping strategies and deciding to be intentional in working towards resolving current and past behaviors. A series of techniques are used such as; reframing, social skill development, relaxation skills, desensitization, emotional regulation, and other coping skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing - EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing EMDR is a
non-traditional psychotherapy technique that assists with lessening negative feelings associated with traumatic events. EMDR focuses less on talk therapy; instead, it encourages clients to focus on their emotions and disturbing feelings rather than the traumatic event. The therapist uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to access one’s rapid eye movement sleep processing to input positive thoughts. Often times, clients discover new awareness about a past or present traumatic event. This tool has been very useful in helping my clients heal from old wounds and making behavioral changes.
Crystal Therapy, Chakras and Meditation
Crystals, Chakras, and Meditation are all considered energy therapies. This is an Ancient Traditional Eastern therapy to help address emotional, mental, spiritual and physical pain. Crystals hold certain properties to repel and discharge negative energy away from one’s personal space, mind, and body. Chakras are energy centers and meridians that are sometimes blocked, or stagnated, thus causing physical illness in the body. In Chakra therapy crystals, using one’s hands and/or energy work is used to open one’s Chakras. Meditation is used to create mindfulness during the sessions. One is encouraged to use deep breathing exercises to promote a peaceful state.
