Everyone's story is different, unique and individual. Counseling should be curated in the same way. My name is Ashley, and I am the owner of Clear Skies Counseling, Wellness & Consultation. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and a Certified EMDR Therapist who specializes in working with survivors of trauma. Using somatic based interventions and EMDR to meet your specific needs we'll work toward putting the past where it belongs. __________________________________________________ What is EMDR? "EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR is often associated with processing trauma, however it can be used to treat an array of concerns. Take a look at www.EMDRIA.org for more information about the process. What are Somatic Practices? Somatic treatment involves body-based interventions to help us access and process through emotions and action patterns that get stored in out our body. In EMDR, connecting to the body is a crucial piece and these practices help bring our awareness back to ourselves. __________________________________ I believe that safety and security should be foundational experiences for everyone. Every single person deserves these basic elements and without these, life can feel uncertain and unsafe. Learning skills to quiet our mind, check in with our body and get centered are just some ways we can sit through discomfort together and build upon your wellness. This is the start of building resiliency; this is the start moving forward. I look forward to meeting you! ~ I currently accept Aetna and Horizon BCBS insurance. I am OON with most other providers.
