Therapeutic Modalities 

• Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

  NLP is transformational solution based technology that approaches challenges from an entirely different perspective. NLP was created primarily from studying the excellence of three profoundly masterful therapists. Milton Erickson, whom many consider to be the true father of Clinical and Client Centered Hypnotherapy. Virginia Satir, the grand mistress of Individual and Family Psychology from a systemic family and parts approach. Fritz Perls the master of Gestalt Therapy. Each of these masters were know for their genus in helping people make major changes in their lives and in their behaviors. Much of their work is the forerunner to the Brief Therapy methods we use today. While NLP changes are known to be fast, they are also effective and lasting. 
  

• Applied Hypnosis

Clinical hypnotherapy is a professional approach works because it is effective in using each individuals unconscious resources to make changes. Erickson believed strongly that everyone already has all the resources within them to make any changes that are needed. The job of the trained and certified hypnotherapist is to provide the directions and the methods to find and utilize those resources for the positive outcome desired. True professional hypnosis (not to be confused with entertainment or stage hypnosis) is used by millions of people each year to make changes they have not been able to make any other way.  

• Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or Tapping

TFT, EFT, and BSF are all forms of Energy Based Psychotherapy. They all originated from the initial work of Roger Callahan, Ph.D. (Thought Field Therapy), is a well tested process utilizes acupressure points to alleviate negative emotional states. It is comes from a focus of Western Psychology, Eastern Medicine and meridians, Educational Kinesiology, and Body Energies.  

• Trauma Incident Reduction TIR

TIR is a therapy that reduces the "charge" carried from a trauma. This process exercises the event and releases the emotional activation present when a person experiences the sudden impact caused by trauma.
