​Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at my feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe
-Jonny Diaz


​Massage ​

The Benefits of Having Massage as Part of Your Treatment:
  • Targeted massage on the areas of the body that have been impacted by trauma, PTSD, anxiety or long term stress
  • Targeted massage to help the body move out of hypervigilance, or the fight, flight or freeze response
  • Targeted massage to help calm the body that has been impacted by abuse of all kinds including domestic violence
  • ​We can refer you to a Licensed Massage Therapist, who is part of our team, who can work closely with the Licensed Mental Health Counselors here to provide an integrative plan of treatment for you as a client
  • A massage session can be scheduled after a hard counseling session as an individual or couple, so the body can calm down and you can have a time of transition instead of just driving right back home or to work. 


​"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior."
​-Hillsong
