An Introduction
Individual Therapy
Embarking on long-term healing may evoke a mix of emotions such as fear, excitement, overwhelm, and hope. These feelings are a normal response to confronting unhelpful patterns stemming from traumatic experiences. VSC therapists, equipped with specialized trauma training, are prepared to meet you where you are in your journey. Whether it involves understanding and expressing emotions for the first time or overcoming unhelpful relationship tendencies, VSC Therapy focuses on deep, self-reflective trauma response. Building a safe and trusting relationship with your therapist is a crucial part of the process to collaboratively work towards your trauma-healing goals.

Types of Therapy
What Our Therapists Offer
EMDR
EMDR helps reprogram the memory and emotion so remembering the trauma is not overwhelming. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is recommended for treatments as one of a few evidence-based treatments of choice for trauma victims.
DBT
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that began with efforts to treat personality disorders and interpersonal conflicts. DBT is seen as effective in treating mood disorders and for change in behavioral patterns.
