Origins Counseling provides therapy for individuals and couples which includes, but is not limited to the following:

  • Experiential techniques, which promote creativity and effectively engage different parts of the brain. 
  • Techniques to deal with trauma, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
  • Ericksonian hypnosis, including strategic behavioral therapy, a highly customized approach to treatment.
  • Guided imagery for smoking cessation, irritable bowel syndrome, eating disorders, phobias, and pain control.
  • Jungian-based therapy, which targets a clearer understanding of how a client’s symptoms keep them from engaging fully in life.
  • Gestalt techniques specifically designed to promote awareness and restoration by focusing on the present.

​Confidentiality is at the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. Outside of  treatment or billing, information will only be shared with others after your written permission. The rare exceptions include child abuse or neglect, imminent harm to oneself or others, and information in response to a court order. You will be given further information regarding your confidentiality and privacy rights at our first meeting.  

Neurofeedback
What is Neurofeedback?
We observe the brain in action from moment to moment and that information is brought back to the person by way of the sensors.  Neurofeedback is also called EEG Biofeedback, because it is based on electrical brain activity, the electroencephalogram, or EEG. Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation.  Self-regulation is a necessary part of optimal brain performance and function. Self-regulation training allows the nervous system to function better.
 ​
We use different systems as treatment, depending on the indiviudal
LENS:
The LENS is a specific kind of Neurofeedback that operates much more rapidly that traditional Neurofeedback and has qualities that make it much easier to use with people who can’t sit still. LENS helps with a variety of conditions:
​ 
  • Cognition - Problems sequencing, memory, providing and maintaining attention, concentration, clarity and organization.
  • Mood - Anger, sadness, explosiveness.
  • Motor - Lack of grace, problems of eye-hand coordination, balance, increased muscle tone (from spasticity) and tremor.
  • Motivation - Problems initiating tasks, shifting from one activity to another, and/or completing tasks.
  • Anxiety - Problems of anxiety system activity (too much uncomfortably-contained energy), persistent "anxiety", restlessness, rumination, agitation, distractibility, difficulty breathing, palpitations, tremor exacerbation, and sleep interruption.
  • Reactivity - Hyper-reactivity, hypersensitivity, multiple chemical sensitivities.
  • Pain - Brain-generated pain (mismapping the origins and qualities of signals), and vascular pain.
  • Addictions/Dependencies - Lack of clarity about emotions and self-comforting, defensiveness, argumentativeness and cynicism.
  • Fatigue - Fatigue; or fatigue as a phenomenon secondary to the effort of trying to overcome the pain and/or the above impediment to functioning more easily.
  • Performance Optimization - Increases in functioning in the above areas in absence of any diagnosis.

​Neuroptimal:
Have you experienced times when you have felt “on target”, maybe even invincible, untouchable, where you are mentally in your “A game”? Or where you have felt clear, poised, “in the now”? Or maybe warm, safe, connected and loving. During these moments your brain is organized, your CNS is flexible and resilient to whatever challenges it faces, and you’re reaping the benefits in the moment.
Using NeurOptimal® is like having a “defrag” of your hard drive. Suddenly it’s easier to get out of your own way and access your “A game”. Roadblocks can fall away and life can just seem easier, more in flow.
No matter where you are starting from, every brain has a potential best, its own level of optimal flow and function. It doesn’t matter if you are a peak performing athlete or performer, or if you are struggling with relationships or your studies in school, or whatever your situation — given the right information about itself, every brain can reveal its best.
Whether you are looking for personal or spiritual enhancement, that edge to help prepare you for exams or a performance, or whether you just want to “get your ducks in a row”, we believe NeurOptimal® can help you reach that goal.
