I believe individuals have the power to change if given the needed tools.
NeurOptimal is safe and effective and easier to use than most neurofeedback programs. With other systems, a "trainer" uses protocols to train the brain. With NeurOptimal, there are no protocols; rather the training provides a mirror for the brain to see how inefficient and inappropriate it is, then allows the brain to adapt itself naturally.
At Safe Place Counseling, I use the Alpha-Stim electrotherapy device which is proven effective and safe for the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It has no lasting side effects, no risk of addiction, and no danger of interaction with medications. Ideally, you should use the Alpha-Stim daily, but clients report feeling relaxed and less anxious immediately while using it during therapy sessions.
Francine Shapiro developed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 1987. The goal of EMDR therapy is to process traumatic memories and other disturbing life experiences and to bring them to resolution by replacing trauma memories with positive, healthy ones. The effectiveness of EMDR therapy has been well established as the result of randomized controlled studies.
Many weight issues are caused by some sort of trauma, whether it is a form of abuse, bullying, or problems in the home. In order to deal with trauma, children, teens, and adults turn to food for comfort, rewards, relaxation, and happiness. Learn how to eat for survival rather than for emotional needs at Safe Place Counseling.

Deanna is amazing! She is very good at what she does and was able to help me immensely. I have been to therapists off and on throughout my life and Deanna was able to teach skills that I will continue to use forever. I have not always had that experience with other therapists. I highly recommend her!
