In trauma informed therapy, our goal at Affirmative Counseling Center is to lessen symptoms of PTSD and CPTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) created by past traumas through a variety of therapeutic modalities, which include: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy.

In DBT language, we help clients to “To Create a Life Worth Living.” This means by acquiring new skills our clients learn to better manage their emotions, especially the difficult ones that create chaos. “A DBT Life Worth Living” includes joyful relationships, relief from distressing thoughts and emotions, and a way out of emotional crisis. DBT is provided with both individual sessions and group sessions (DBT Skills Training).

We are acutely aware at Affirmative Counseling Center that many LGBTQ+ people struggle with acceptance from family members, friends, their communities, and even from within themselves. This can create a variety of emotional challenges and crises. Affirmative Counseling is for anyone suffering because of prejudice, facing the stress of coming out, confusion about gender or sexuality, or simply looking for support. Our goal at Affirmative Counseling Center is to help our LGBTQ+ clients live fully as their authentic selves.

Substance abuse and addiction recovery can look a lot of different ways depending on who you are and your circumstances. We look at each individual’s relationship with substances and collaborate on a plan to create clarity, relief, and a new direction towards harm reduction or abstinence.
