Our Story
Nurturing Resilience Counseling Center is a psychotherapy practice built around the principle that we are all resilient and can heal from past trauma or difficult experiences with the right support and nurturing. Despite our resilience, sometimes it can feel hard to persevere alone, especially when the adaptations that helped us survive the past now make life feel harder in the present. These are times when having someone beside you to help make meaning of the past, while reducing intense emotions associated with those events, is often crucial. We want to be on this journey with you, as you endeavor to leave behind some of those negative beliefs and uncomfortable emotions that until now, may have seemed like they wouldn’t ever change.
We accept you just as you are: all races, creeds, genders, orientations, sexualities, etc. All parts are welcome here and no parts will be left behind.
What We Do
We offer a private, confidential space to explore the things that have happened and are still happening in your life, how they affect you and your relationships and how your quality of life can be improved. Whether you experienced a single traumatic event, a lifetime of emotional neglect, are struggling with increased anxiety from work or school, have noticed depression creeping in, or experience any other distressing feelings, we can help you reach a better place.
Many people have noticed that while talk therapy can be helpful and aids them in understanding and gaining insight, they may feel they reach an impasse. They might notice that while they logically know they are safe, they are good enough, they are loved … they still don’t feel these things to be true. EMDR can often help to connect what we know, with what we feel. If you’ve made progress in therapy but feel stuck, consider trying EMDR to help connect mind and body.
