Accepting clients ages 10-18 only. I work with children and adolescent clients who have had a thorough medical investigation, been told there are no more tests, and find themselves with either a descriptive diagnosis or no diagnosis that can explain their level of chronic pain or neural circuit dizziness. I utilize three primary evidence-based practices: Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), and Attachment-Based Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (AB-ISTDP). PRT focuses primarily upon psychoeducation on the neuroscience of pain and behavioral shifts, such as exposure work.
One of my clients was afraid to go outside; together we decided upon an outdoor based exposure activity, more specifically an anti-zombie apocalypse exercise. Humans won. Sorry, not sorry, to any Zombies reading this. My client proved to herself she could go outside, and save humankind. I am certified in PRT and EAET.
EAET focuses on the interplay between relationships, building emotional insight, & experiencing feelings. AB-ISTDP conceptualizes anxiety as something that shows up somatically as it literally plays out in the body. Often, there is a sense of “if I could only get rid of this anxiety”. With ISTDP we dig deeper intentionally to feelings underneath the anxiety.
