At your initial appointment you'll have an opportunity to ask questions, share your strengths and challenges and describe your needs.  Based on our consultation, I will make an assessment and together we will identify treatment goals.  I have experience with a variety of psycholgical models from which to draw - relational, cognitive-behavioral, Jungian, Rogerian, and Gestalt. 

Are you at an impasse in your relationship?  Come share your relationship challenges in a confidential, non-judgemental atmosphere.  Relationship counseling will focus on identifying your barriers and strengths, committing to the counseling process (typically a minimum of 8 to 12 sessions), learning healthy communication skills, and doing assignments in-between sessions.

"Hypnotherapy is an extraordinary quality of mental, physical and emotional relaxation which bypasses the critical factor of the conscious mind and thus the mind becomes highly responsive to suggestions and healing."  Heart Centered Hypnotherapy, The Wellness Institute, Issaquah, WA.

A typical hypnotherapy session is 90 minutes.  Some insurances do pay for hypnotherapy.  A ninety minute session is $140.  A sliding scale is available, please inquire.

Hypnotherapy is great in processing inner child healing. " You did a great job as a child to survive in your world and to experience the least amount of pain.  As an adult you began to realize that those defenses actually hinder you in creating intimate, healthy and trusting relationships in your life."  Yvonne & Michael, The Wellness Institue

The use of EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) in therapy can help with both the healing of psychological pain and physical discomfort related to trauma, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues.  It is used to accelerate the treatment of both upsetting past events and present life conditions.   Francine Shapiro, Ph.D. , developed EMDR in 1987.

A typical session involving EMDR is 90 minutes.  Most insurance do and will pay for EMDR.  If your insurance does not pay for a 90 minute session (only 60 minutes) an agreed upon additional fee will be negotiated.

Breath Therapy is a composite modality that uses breathwork as a support for the various processes, exercises and inner explorations.  Early in life we learn to suppress our emotions physically by tensing muscles and restricting the breath.   Over time, this protective process becomes chronic and automatic and we lose the capacity to experience and express emotions.   Breath Therapy has been found to be a very precise key to the body's natural healing resources.  It consists of a variety of circular and conscious connected breathing trechniques that can be described as a relaxed, connected and total way of breathing.  Breath therapy is for personal growth and development, stress management, spiritual unfoldment or as an adjunct to psychotherapy, Breath Therapy is a useful tool for bringing about permanent, positive life changes.     A 75 minute session is $120.

I provide LADC/Substance Use Evaluations for schools (over 12 years old), courts, the department of motor vehicle and other professionals.   A typical LADC evaluation consists of meeting with me for three, one hour sessions; an interview; completing assessment tools; providing personal references; and a drug urine screen (at your expense -- through your PCP or a lab service) over a month period (a shorter time span can sometimes be provided).  You will be provided with a detailed evaluation report, reviewed with you at the last session.   Some insurances will pay for the face-to-face sessions, additional report written fees will be charged.   LADC evaluation full fee (includes three sessions and written report) $500 (additional face to face sessions if necessary will be $100 per session).

You are invited to safely experience a gentle yoga class guided by a trained teacher.  Yoga means to yoke or bring into union mind, body and spirit.  A yoga practice helps facilitate a befriending of the body, as well as inducing the 'relaxation response' calming the body and mind.   If you are interested in including a trauma-sensitive yoga class as an adjuct to your therapy/treatment call to inquire...603-661-7345.  A closed female yoga class will be held in the Portsmouth area (Kittery, ME at Yoga on the Hill - www.yogaonthehillkittery.com) TBA 2011.   Call or e-mail to register - Linda 603-661-7345.
