Aspire Wellness Group | Trauma & EMDR Therapy

Healing from the Past,
Aspiring to the Future.

Specialized outpatient therapy, psychiatric care, and evaluation services.
A safe harbor to reclaim your story.

You don't have to carry the weight alone.

Trauma often leaves us feeling fragmented, stuck in the past, or disconnected from ourselves. We provide a collaborative, paced, and safe environment—an "external cortex"—to help you organize your experiences and find your way back to safety.

Safety First

We never rush into the deep end. We prioritize building your resources, grounding skills, and "Window of Tolerance" before processing difficult memories.

EMDR Therapy

Utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help your brain process and integrate traumatic memories that feel "stuck" in the present.

Intensive In-Home

For youth at risk of out-of-home placement, we bring crisis stabilization and skill-building directly to the family environment.

The Aspire Difference

We believe healing happens in connection. As Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Care Managers, we see the whole picture.

Holistic Care Management

We don't just treat symptoms. We coordinate with schools, physicians, and families to ensure your support system is aligned.

Relational & Grounded

Therapy shouldn't feel cold. We offer a warm, "safe harbor" where you are met with authentic human connection, not just clinical jargon.

Evidence-Based Growth

We combine the art of listening with the science of change, utilizing proven modalities like EMDR, CBT, and Somatic Experiencing.

Medical & Diagnostic Services

We believe in a holistic approach. Therapy works best when supported by accurate diagnosis and, when needed, medical management.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Medication can be a helpful tool to stabilize symptoms and make therapy more effective. Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) provides compassionate, evidence-based care.

  • Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations
  • Medication adjustments & monitoring
  • Collaboration with your therapist

Psychological Evaluations

Understanding the root cause of symptoms is key to the right treatment. We offer comprehensive psychological testing to clarify diagnoses and guide your path forward.

  • Diagnostic clarification (ADHD, Anxiety, Mood)
  • Trauma & Personality assessments
  • Detailed reports for schools or providers

Understanding the Process

When trauma occurs, the brain's information processing system can get overwhelmed. The memory gets stored with the original painful emotions, physical sensations, and negative beliefs.

  • No Retraumatization: We use containment strategies so you don't have to relive every detail repeatedly.
  • The Cluster Method: We identify "themes" (like "I am unsafe") rather than getting lost in individual events.
  • Past, Present, & Future: We heal the root, desensitize current triggers, and build templates for the future.
