“I believe the key to healing is not just knowing what happened but transforming how the mind, body, and soul still remember it”

Lifespan Integration

Observed & Experiential Integration

Lifespan Integration

 Lifespan Integration is a gentle trauma treatment method which works on a deep neural level to change patterned responses and outmoded defensive strategies. By connecting physiological reactions to past events, the neural system is ‘re-set’ so that it is more in line with the current life situation. This ‘re-setting’ happens very rapidly for most people. After LI therapy, people find themselves spontaneously reacting to current stressors in more age appropriate ways.

Trauma-Aware Clinicians

Trauma-Informed

All of our staff practice from a trauma-informed perspective. This means you can  rest assured that your therapist is aware of the significant impact trauma has on the brain and can have in your day-to-day life. Your treatment plan will take that awareness of trauma into account. 

Trauma Treatment Trained

Most of our clinicians practice some form of active trauma treatment. This is a specific tool or set of tools to directly address and deactivate trauma reactions in your brain. Some of our clinicians use EMDR, and some use OEI. Both practices are poly-vagal informed and evidence-based methods of decreasing reactivity and both are highly effective.
