Therapy for Women
At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for women navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, and trauma.

We specialize in treating women’s trauma, including childhood abuse, relationship betrayal, and caregiver fatigue, using approaches like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic therapy.

Types of Therapy
Online Therapy
Telehealth, e-therapy, or online counseling has become a popular trend among practitioners, with many therapists offering it as an add-on service or fully transitioning to telehealth since the pandemic. We were telehealth certified prior to COVID and can guide you through the technology, ensuring you understand the nuances of the therapeutic relationship and feel comfortable using our secure platform.
In-Person Therapy
Our welcoming spaces provide a safe environment ideal for exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping us communicate openly and effectively. With our convenient locations, it's easy to fit therapy into your schedule. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or other concerns, our in-person sessions are designed to support your journey towards healing and personal growth.
Evidence Based Practices
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a powerful method for processing trauma and reducing the emotional intensity of past experiences. Our trained therapists use EMDR to help you feel more in control and less triggered by difficult memories. Learn more. -
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an evidence-based approach to healing emotional wounds by exploring the different “parts” within you—such as the inner critic, the people-pleaser, or the part that holds trauma or anxiety. At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, our therapists use IFS to help you develop self-awareness, reduce inner conflict, and reconnect with your core Self—the calm, compassionate inner leader we all have. IFS therapy can be especially helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, or relationship patterns rooted in past experiences.

Trauma-Focused CBT is an evidence-based therapy designed to help children, teens, and young adults heal from traumatic experiences. At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we use TF-CBT to gently guide clients in understanding how trauma has impacted their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through a structured and supportive process, clients learn to reduce trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, nightmares, and emotional reactivity. This approach combines cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation skills, and safe trauma processing to promote long-term healing and resilience.
-
At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we use mindfulness therapy, somatic therapy, and brain-based interventions to support holistic, trauma-informed healing. Mindfulness helps you stay grounded in the present moment and relate to your thoughts and emotions with more awareness and compassion. Somatic therapy for trauma focuses on how the body stores stress and emotional pain, using tools like breathwork, movement, and sensation to restore calm and safety. Our brain-based therapy techniques, informed by neuroscience, help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and support lasting emotional resilience.
-
Ego State Therapy
Ego State Therapy is a trauma-informed approach that helps you explore the different “parts” or “states” of self that form in response to life experiences—especially during times of stress or trauma. At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we use Ego State Therapy to support clients in understanding internal conflicts, emotional triggers, and behaviors that may feel confusing or out of sync with their goals. By working with these internal parts in a safe and supportive way, clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing from past wounds. Ego State Therapy is especially helpful for those navigating complex trauma, anxiety, and attachment wounds.
