Healing through connection to self and others.The Connections website is being revamped! Contact info below!
Connections Counseling is undergoing a transition, and along with that comes a new website and additional services! We will be embracing the idea of change, of evolving, of growing. This has long since been the place where old patterns loosen, physiology recalibrates, nervous systems regulate, and new capacity begins to take shape. Our work meets people in this transitional space and supports them as they move forward with more clarity, regulation, and intention.
Please reach out via email or phone while we finish rebuilding our website. We are still in the office and at the farm conducting sessions daily. We offer family and couples therapy, individual and group counseling, as well as biofeedback optimization training, and specialize in stress management, EMDR, and equine-assisted psychotherapy. Working with those who are navigating eating disorders, trauma, relationship work, stress management and somatic symptom management is our passion. It is all about our nervous system and learning that we have the capacity to manage it.
