Specialties

We specialize in trauma, LGBTQIA+ needs, neurodivergence, grief, and chronic illness. We utilize treatment modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - DBT is an evidence based treatment that focuses on the development of skills to help individuals increase mindfulness, manage intense emotions as they arise, improve communication and enhance supportive relationships, and reduce overall emotional reactivity. Additionally, DBT focuses on navigating the balance between acceptance and change in order to empower the individuals to "build the life worth living."

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - EMDR is an evidence based trauma treatment. The majority of people seeking EMDR do so to reduce PTSD/ trauma symptoms. There is some evidence that EMDR may be helpful for other problems such as chronic pain, OCD, anxiety or depression. EMDR is not a talk therapy, meaning a person does not have to talk about the trauma in depth during treatment. Click here for further information on EMDR: https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/

• EMDR intensives- An intensive is when an EMDR appointment is scheduled for longer than a standard appointment time ( 50 min +).  The goal of an intensive would be to complete a large amount of trauma reprocessing in a shorter amount of time. This can be helpful when a person has an inflexible work schedule, making it easier to take one afternoon off work monthly verses an hour a week or when a client wants to get through a particularly difficult part of the trauma work quickly. At Kawa Counseling, EMDR intensives range from 90 min appointments to 3 hour appointments. EMDR intensives are not appropriate for every person and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 

Kawa Counseling is a self-pay practice.
