How we work
We look beneath the behavior.
Sometimes we feel broken. Often, it is a nervous system that has forgotten the danger is over. We bring curiosity instead of shame, structure without rigidity, and responsibility without judgment.
Safety before depth
You choose what to share. We build steadiness before asking you to go deeper.
Skills you can use
Leave with practical ways to interrupt panic, regulate emotion, communicate, and choose your next action.
The whole person matters
Mind, body, relationships, purpose, nutrition, movement, sleep, and belonging all shape recovery.
Connection changes things
Healing is not a performance. It grows through honest relationship, practice, and being seen without being reduced to a diagnosis.
Maybe this feels familiar
You have been carrying too much for too long.
Sometimes it can feel as though something inside you is broken. Panic, anger, rage, nightmares, numbness, grief, and a body that never fully stands down can be the nervous system doing what it learned to do: protect you. Those responses may have helped you survive. Now they may be keeping you on alert long after the danger has passed. We help you understand those patterns, regain choice, and teach your system how to recognize safety again.
Your body stays on alert even when part of you knows you are safe.
You understand the problem, but insight alone has not changed the pattern.
You keep functioning for everyone else while quietly running out of road.
You do not have to tell your whole story to begin. We start with safety, useful skills, and the next honest step.
Focused support. Room for your story.
Trauma-focused
individual therapy.
Both Steven and Jolene specialize in trauma treatment. Individual work may address PTSD, panic, nightmares, anger or rage, grief, numbness, relationship difficulties, and the ways trauma can keep the nervous system responding as though danger is still present.
Both Steven’s and Jolene’s ongoing individual-therapy caseloads are currently full. Recommendations about waitlists or referrals depend on clinical fit, urgency, and available capacity. Weekly individual therapy remains part of each IOP program.
