Owner, LMHC
You do not have to retell every detail to make progress.
At NW Empowerment Counseling Services, we treat trauma like the injury it is to the brain and nervous system, which means healing takes time, pacing, and sometimes special care. Using EMDR, EFT tapping, and mindfulness, we help adults and teens reduce triggers, rebuild trust in themselves, and feel more present with the people they love. Our goal is to help you feel safe to heal with someone who understands
