EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
A structured therapy that helps the brain process and heal from distressing memories. By combining forms of bilateral stimulation with focused attention on specific memories, EMDR reduces the emotional charge of past experiences, helping you respond to the present with greater calm and clarity.
MRT
Moral Reconation Therapy
A structured, step-by-step counseling program designed to help people make better decisions and build healthier lives. It focuses on developing moral reasoning, personal responsibility, and positive habits through guided exercises. Completed in group or individual work.
SE
Somatic Experiencing
A body-based therapy that helps release stress and trauma stored in the nervous system. Instead of focusing only on thoughts or memories, SE gently guides you to notice and work with physical sensations, restoring your body’s natural ability to regulate and return to a state of calm and a greater sense of safety and resilience.
Meditation Guidance
Meditation in therapy integrates mindfulness, mantras, and focused awareness practices into the counseling process to support emotional balance and mental clarity. Techniques are adapted for any comfort level to help clients build an individual meditation practice to reduce stress, change negative self-talk, improve focus, and build a greater capacity to stay present with challenging emotions.
Breathwork
The intentional use of breathing techniques to support well-being. In therapy, it can help calm the nervous system, release tension, improve focus, and process stored emotions. By guiding your breath in specific patterns—such as slow, deep breathing or rhythmic cycles—you can shift your state of mind, enhance self-awareness, and create a greater sense of balance and clarity.
Hypnotherapy
A therapeutic approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind. In this calm, focused state, you can explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns that influence behavior and well-being along with enhancing motivation, reducing stress, and addressing issues like anxiety, habits, or pain management in a gentle, non-invasive way.
EAP Services
Work Well EAP is tailored to meet the needs of high-impact professionals. We zero in on immediate concerns, equip you with actionable strategies, and restore your clarity and focus—so you can continue performing at your best.
What to Expect:
-
Focused Support: Address pressing professional or personal challenges—such as stress, work-life alignment, performance barriers, or critical life decisions—in a concise, solution-oriented framework.
-
Immediate Strategies: Work with a licensed counselor to develop practical tools and coping techniques geared toward enhancing clarity and emotional resilience.
-
Confidential & Efficient: Offered at no cost and designed to be accessible when you need it most, with the assurance of complete privacy and respect.
Why It Works for High-Impact Professionals:
-
Time-Conscious Structure: At 45 minutes, the session is long enough to meaningfully connect, yet short enough to fit into even the tightest schedule. EAP sessions frequently fall within the 25–40 minute range, making this slightly extended timeframe both practical and impactful.
-
High ROI: With a focus on immediate, targeted intervention, these sessions help reduce stress, improve focus, and support sustained performance—benefitting both the individual and the organization.
Keta.Me
Partner with a licensed mental health professional trained in ketamine-assisted therapy to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or burnout in a safe and intentional way. Each session combines the effects of ketamine with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help you process insights, shift perspective, and create meaningful emotional change.
All sessions are conducted in a comfortable, confidential setting with oversight and emotional support tailored to your needs.
What to Expect:
-
Step 1 – Preparation: Before your first ketamine session, you’ll meet with your provider to discuss your goals, medical history, and what to expect, ensuring you feel informed and at ease.
-
Step 2 – Guided Session: During the ketamine experience, you’ll be supported in a calm, monitored environment while your therapist helps guide focus toward healing and insight.
-
Step 3 – Integration: After the session, you’ll work together to translate your experience into practical strategies for everyday life—helping to sustain positive changes over time.
Why It Works:
-
Enhanced Neuroplasticity: Ketamine can help create a “window of opportunity” in the brain, making it easier to break old patterns and form new, healthier ones.
-
Deeper Access: Many clients find ketamine helps them approach difficult emotions or memories without the same level of distress, allowing for more effective therapeutic work.
-
Lasting Impact: Combined with integration therapy, ketamine sessions can accelerate relief from symptoms and support long-term mental health growth.
