We are not the VA. Our trauma treatment is very different than what the VA offers. We partner with our clients empowering them to realize their strengths and to use those strengths in a way that’s helpful, instead of pointing out what’s ‘wrong’ with them. Our clients already know there’s something wrong, or they wouldn’t be here - we honor that.
Transparent
If you’ve ever wondered what your therapist is writing during your session, don’t worry. We give our clients a copy at the end of the session. We encourage them to keep these handy as therapeutic tools to track progress.
Confidential
We do not accept insurance and therefore do not report any information to an insurance company. Partnered with The Hope Place, we are a private pay mental health center that only releases the information our clients want us to if they give us permission in writing.
Our Therapy Approach
Solution focused brief therapy
Online or in-person, SFBT is a therapy approach that acknowledges the problem, but is also curious about where you’re like to be instead of where you currently are. It’s like speaking a different language in order to facilitate therapy.
Accelerated resolution therapy
Accelerated Resolution Therapy is used with trauma, pain management, depression, anxiety, phobias to specifically avoid retraumatizing the client as they use eye movements to process through an event to detach the negative emotions from the problem.
Equine therapy
Equine Assisted Counseling (EAC) is an treatment method that uses the connection between people and horses to enhance emotional healing. (It’s a brain thing). Different forms of equine therapy may be used depending on client needs.
Outdoor therapy
In person, we use the 10 acres available to us to walk and use talk therapy at the same time. We recommend close toed shoes and pants!
Small animal assisted therapy
In-person, we continue to use our therapy modalities, but we use a small animal to assist the therapy. We have goats available for the session for an additional fee. Small Animal Therapy with a Nigerian Dwarf Goat or other small animal including dogs.
Group therapy
Group Therapy is designed in such a way that the cost of therapy is much less than a regular session and uses the power of connection to rescript your future self.
Online Therapy for Texas
We provide Online Therapy to people residing in Texas. We use the software Simple Practice in order to keep our conversations HIPPA compliant and completely confidential! This is great for people working through depression and isolation that don’t have the energy to leave the house, or for people who may be at risk for severe COVID. You can schedule with any of our therapists online.
Play therapy
Rachel Nauss, LCSW our child therapist uses play therapy in her work with children. This may include an animal or two as well!
