Stoneridge Counseling Services
We provide treatment in the following areas:
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals heal from trauma, PTSD, and distressing life experiences. By using bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows the brain to process and reframe painful memories, reducing emotional distress and creating lasting healing.

EFT, or tapping, is a therapeutic approach that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional distress by stimulating acupressure points while focusing on difficult emotions. This evidence-based method can support individuals in processing past trauma, managing overwhelming emotions, and improving their overall sense of well-being. By integrating EFT into therapy, we help clients develop emotional resilience and regain a sense of balance. Learn more.
