Take the first step on your healing journey, today!Our Approach
We take a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs. Our therapy integrates:
EMDR Therapy for Trauma and PTSD – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy used to treat trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger, irritability, etc. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer trigger the same emotional reactions.
At Burch Tree Counseling Center, EMDR therapy helps clients heal from childhood trauma, past relationships, accidents, or other painful life experiences. Many people find that EMDR allows them to feel calmer, more grounded, and less stuck in the past.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety and Depression – Identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and regain balance in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Emotional Regulation – Build skills to manage intense emotions, reduce stress, and improve relationships.
Mindfulness Practices for Grounding and Resilience – Learn techniques to stay present, manage stress, and strengthen emotional resilience.
Solution-Focused & Motivational Interviewing – Clarify personal goals, discover strengths, and take actionable steps toward meaningful, lasting change.
Your therapist collaborates with you to create a personalized treatment plan, helping you reduce symptoms, improve coping skills, and feel safer and more grounded in your daily life.
