THERAPSALM COUNSELING
Your Path to Recovery
The (ACA) American Counseling Association and profession generally believes in the recovery from mental illness. This recovery model is different from mainstream medical models that manage the illness sometime for years, and with medication.
(EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing Therapy allows the brain to heal itself. Painful memories, side effects, and trauma can now be relieved with this evidence-based therapy.
Participants will learn with attachment therapy how their personality style learned in childhood affects emotional regulation and regulating problems.
Body Therapies with prayerful quieting exercises are also used to reduce anxiety and stress.
It is optional for participants to seek prayer and prophetic counseling with Dr. Boen during the sessions. Generally, 6 sessions are recommended. *Applicants are screened for suitability prior to services. Use of controlled substances, or psychotropic medications may not be a fit for immediate services. A follow-up self-management plan allows the healing to continue and end in a timely fashion.
