Internal Family System (IFS)

We carry many of our experiences with us, like an internal system of memories which define how we interact with daily life

There is a complex set of “parts” inside each of us, which we have collected during our lifetimes. They help us manage, balance, and protect all that is important to us.

What we call “thinking” can be understood as collection of conversations between these parts.

Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we can learn how to listen to each part, and give them the attention they need, thereby increasing your capacity to live with more energy and freedom.

Eitan is a Certified, Level III trained IFS Therapist, and also works on IFS trainings as a program assistant.

“Certification” means his sessions have been reviewed for quality and completeness by expert IFS leaders, and has ongoing supervision with a Certified IFS Consultant and Trainer.

As a program assistant, he works on IFS trainings, guiding therapists learning the model in how to improve their skills and increase their self-presence.

Cognitive Behavioral Theory/Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT)

Therapy will help you think more positively

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, and difficulty controlling your emotions, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is for you. Signs of anxiety include irritability and difficulty with relationships, while depression can often result in isolating oneself, not enjoying everyday activities, and difficulty in eating and sleeping.

We can improve your day-to-day habits. This can release you from the fog of depression and the stress of anxiety. You can move towards reengaging in life with renewed vibrancy and a sense of lightness. You’ll build the skills you need to deal with the difficult stuff life throws your way, and how to think and act differently.

 
 
 
 

Counseling For Couples New and Old  (Gottman)

When you want your marriage to shine for a lifetime

For couples about to tie the knot, or for those with many years of experience, relationships are complicated. The emotional rollercoaster of marriage can seem daunting and sometimes outright confusing. Whether you are preparing or repairing, we help couples form meaningful relationships that can last a lifetime.

Extensive research identifies common skills that determine whether couples stay happy, engaged, and connected. Using the Gottman method, we will teach you both how to navigate each other’s personalities, how to divorce-proof your marriage, problem solve, and ultimately how to create and maintain a strong, fun friendship. 

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy / Ketamine Integration

When psychotherapy alone is not enough

For those that find their PTSD, depression, or repetitive and addictive behaviors are not responding to therapy alone, the latest scientific research has proven that introducing Ketamine to the regimen can improve the healing process.

We partner with Journey Clinical, and will guide you through the process, including medical screening and medicine delivery. Our inSight Center clinicians provide the therapeutic preparation, dosing sessions, and integration sessions.

EMDR for Trauma

Watch this short video about EMDR

I help people find their way in life, even when there are leftover issues from a difficult experience

Having trouble difficulty sleeping, feeling numb, or recovering from sexual abuse or some other traumatic event? Are you unable to stop thinking about or feeling bad about your past? Trauma creates memories that don’t feel like memories. They feel like the present. 

Following the best practices of EMDR, which uses bilateral stimulation via eye movement desensitization reprocessing, we can move your memories from the present to the past. This helps recalibrate one's sense of balance and well-being, allowing you to grow beyond you past, thrive in your present, and be ready for your future.

Play Therapy and Sandtray

With therapy, your child can successfully manage life’s challenges

If your child is showing signs of aggression, hyperactivity, acting out, difficulty in school and with peers, we can help. If your child has a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, intense sibling rivalry, or oppositional behavior, there is hope.  

We provide a safe space for your child to learn coping mechanisms for life's many challenges in school and at home. Children communicate through play, and we are all ears. Our approach includes behavior modification, developing sensorimotor skills, school collaboration, and parenting skills training.

 
 
 

We all have a story to tell.
