How We Can Help You

Life can be overwhelming, and it’s normal to feel lost or uncertain at times. Our therapists specialize in helping people just like you—people who want to feel better, be better, and lead a more authentic life. You may benefit from therapy if you are:

 

  • Struggling with anxiety, depression, or stress
  • Navigating a life transition (e.g., a career change, loss, or relocation)
  • Looking to develop healthier relationships with yourself and others
  • Seeking effective tools for managing emotions or coping with past trauma
  • Simply wishing to better understand your feelings and thought patterns

 

Whether you’re dealing with long-standing issues or new challenges, therapy offers a path to healing, growth, and empowerment.

 

What to Expect from Therapy with Us

We understand that therapy can feel daunting at first. Our goal is to make the process as comfortable and approachable as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Cedar Counseling & Wellness:

 

  1. A Safe and Supportive Space
    You’ll find a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your feelings and thoughts at your own pace. We listen without judgment and create space for you to open up when you’re ready.

  2. Collaborative Care
    Therapy is a partnership. Your therapist will work alongside you to explore the root causes of your challenges, identify patterns, and create a personalized plan that fits your goals.

  3. Holistic Well-Being
    We believe in taking a whole-person approach to therapy. This means considering the mind-body connection and looking at your emotional, physical, and social health together.

 

Our Therapy Modalities

At Cedar Counseling & Wellness, we specialize in a variety of therapeutic approaches, offering flexibility to meet your unique needs. Some of the modalities we offer include:

 

  • EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
    EMDR is a powerful, research-backed therapy designed to help you heal from trauma and past distressing experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to process and reframe painful memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping you move forward.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    This evidence-based approach is highly effective for addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Together, we’ll work to reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier ways of thinking and acting.

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy
    If you’re feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, mindfulness techniques can help you ground yourself in the present moment. Learn to manage stress, increase emotional regulation, and improve overall well-being through mindful awareness.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy
    Focused on the future and practical solutions, this approach helps you identify and work toward immediate, achievable goals, making progress one step at a time.

  • Trauma-Informed Therapy
    Our trauma-informed approach ensures that you feel safe and supported as you work through past experiences. We respect your pace and provide tools to empower you to heal and rebuild.

 

Is Therapy Right for You?

It’s natural to have questions when considering therapy, and we’re here to help guide you. Here are a few common questions we hear:

 

  • How will I know if therapy is working?
    Change takes time, but you should begin noticing shifts in how you feel, how you approach challenges, and how you relate to others. Progress might be gradual, but trust the process and your therapist. If something feels off, share your thoughts with them—they’re here to help.

 

  • What if I don’t know what kind of therapy I need?
    Our therapists are skilled in a range of approaches, and during your initial sessions, we’ll work together to identify the best fit for your needs. 

 

  • How do I get started?
    Getting started is easy! You can browse our therapist bios to find a specialist who feels like the right match, then schedule your first session directly online. If you’re not sure, feel free to reach out and we will assist you in finding the right fit!
