At High Alpine Counseling, I offer a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you on your journey toward healing and well-being. Below, you will find an overview of some of the key therapies we use, along with their benefits.

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a structured therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories and distressing life experiences. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reprocess past events in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and impact.

Benefits of EMDR:

• Reduces symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression

• Helps process unresolved trauma

• Improves emotional regulation and resilience

• Can lead to lasting healing in fewer sessions compared to traditional talk therapy

 

Polyvagal Theory-Based Therapy

Polyvagal theory explains how our nervous system regulates emotional and physiological responses to stress. Therapy based on this theory focuses on creating a sense of safety and connection, helping clients move out of states of shutdown or hyperarousal.

Benefits of Polyvagal Therapy:

• Enhances self-regulation and emotional balance

• Reduces chronic stress and anxiety

• Helps with trauma recovery and building a sense of safety

• Supports healthier relationships by improving social engagement

 

Somatic Interventions

Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, using body-centered techniques to release stored trauma and stress. Practices may include breathwork, movement, and body awareness exercises to promote healing.

Benefits of Somatic Interventions:

• Helps release trauma stored in the body

• Reduces physical symptoms of stress and anxiety

• Enhances overall emotional and physical well-being

• Increases self-awareness and connection to bodily sensations

 

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy incorporates techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and present-moment awareness to help clients develop a greater sense of clarity and emotional balance.

Benefits of Mindfulness Therapy:

• Reduces stress and enhances relaxation

• Improves focus and concentration

• Helps manage anxiety, depression, and emotional distress

• Encourages self-acceptance and emotional resilience

 

Person-Centered Therapy

Person-centered therapy is a humanistic approach that prioritizes the client’s unique experiences and inner wisdom. Therapists provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions.

Benefits of Person-Centered Therapy:

• Promotes self-discovery and personal growth

• Enhances self-esteem and confidence

• Encourages emotional expression and healing

• Builds a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship
