Our Approach
What Makes Mend Counseling Approach Unique?
Relational
The most important factor for successful therapy is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Relational insight is an essential component for understanding oneself and living intentionally.
Deeply Held Concerns
Meaning, death, freedom, and isolation are not buzz words for at Mend Counseling, but rather crucial focal points we all need to look at. Existential psychotherapy addresses these concerns with intentionality.
Inclusivity
Mend celebrates the beautiful diversity of humanity and is a safe place for people of every ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, relationship status, ability, and socioeconomic background.
Narrative
Every person has a unique story, and our life experiences can impact us dramatically. Mending the past brings healing and increased understanding of what a future can hold. The outcome is an improved ability to focus on the present with more clarity.
EMDR
EMDR, which stands for ‘Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing,’ is a technique used for processing traumatic memories and situations, while remaining regulated in your nervous system, which creates healing from said trauma.
Parts Work
During pivotal times in our lives we adapt in order to survive. Later we adapt in new ways to new challenges. It’s important that each of these parts that get developed learn to interact with each other harmoniously.
Somatic
When we can identify how we hold symptoms in our body, we are empowered to soothe ourselves for more resources, resiliency, and insight.
