Stepping Stone Counseling Services is a mental health practice that offers counseling to individuals and groups in Massachusetts. My mission is to help people who have experienced a traumatic event feel like themselves again. When we work with our brain and body to heal, we can become whole again.
When something traumatic happens in our lives it can be difficult to move forward in meaningful ways. We often keep getting drawn back into the same patterns of destructive thoughts or behaviors over and over. It becomes difficult to get out of these habits until we process the traumatic events at the root of these thoughts and behaviors. Therapy is one stepping stone in the healing journey of many people who have experienced trauma in their lives.
I use EMDR to help heal trauma and I work with people 11 years old and older. I approach therapy from a developmental framework and believe that we develop into the people we are because of the things that we have experienced. I believe that if we can heal what came before, we can feel better now.
