Up to Date Techniques!
A couple of our many helpful techniques incorporates EMDR or EFT. This technique usually in just a few sessions helps with issues like panic, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and many other things, which are usually considered time-consuming and hard to treat. This technique is used to help release memories and experiences that are “trapped” in the nervous system and some of our counselors are trained to use it. Another similar technique which helps accelerate healing with addictions, drug and alcohol addictions, trauma, anxiety and more is Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. This is based on some of meridian pressure points and can be used to treat many emotional issues. Our counselors will be more than happy to use these techniques and more to help!

Testimonials
“Jada has a creative way of connecting with young women. She is easy to talk to, personable and “down to earth.”
“You captured all the pain and emotion of an abusive life perfectly, and your ‘recipes’ for healing and moving on are invaluable. I have many of the passages of your book highlighted and the pages marked so I can refer to them on a daily basis. Thank you so much for your help”
“I thank you for sharing your life struggles and experiences. Because of your creative coaching, I’ve found healing and will continue to turn my life around and not blame my ex-husband for the abuse nor my parents for their lack of knowledge in my up bringing.”
“She’s my angel! Before I was miserable and didn’t know why? Working with Dana has helped me understand and accept the effects of abuse. She has made me a better person and I am able to live again!”
“So many people treat sexual abuse, but Dana understands it at a level that most do not and she addresses the core issues around abuse.”
“Dana helped me figure out why I was constantly arguing with my husband and why I was unhappy in my marriage. She helped me to take responsibility in the unhealthy behaviors I was doing that was contributing to my marital issues. I now know how to deal with my emotional triggers and to communicate my feelings with my husband more effectively. I am much happier with my life in general and feel more connected to my spouse.”
Addiction – “Dana sees right through me and calls me out on my issues without judgment!”
