Symptoms We Treat
While anxiety is a natural reaction to stress, it can become overwhelming when it starts interfering with your everyday life.

At Spring Forest Counseling, we offer personalized support to help you understand and manage your anxiety.

Therapeutic Approaches
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help children work through emotional and behavioral difficulties. At Spring Forest Counseling, we utilize non-directive play therapy, where children are free to choose toys and games that resonate with them, allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings naturally. This approach creates a comfortable and open environment where children feel safe to communicate, without the pressure of structured activities. Our licensed child therapists observe and gently guide sessions, helping children address underlying emotional challenges. With supportive guidance, play therapy encourages young minds to process their emotions in a way that feels natural to them.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic method used to help individuals recover from traumatic experiences. Whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, the impact of a natural disaster, or the effects of personal trauma, EMDR can support emotional healing. At Spring Forest Counseling, our licensed therapists use this approach to help clients reprocess distressing memories by guiding their eye movements while recalling difficult experiences. Over time, this technique helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, allowing individuals to regain a sense of peace and control over their lives.
EFT
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) at Spring Forest Counseling is aimed at helping individuals and couples strengthen their emotional bonds. By identifying and addressing underlying emotional patterns, EFT works to transform negative interactions into positive connections. Our therapists help clients work through attachment issues, deep-seated emotions, and communication barriers, fostering secure, trusting relationships. This evidence-based approach is especially effective for couples seeking to resolve conflicts and deepen their emotional intimacy, leading to lasting, meaningful connections.
Gottman
At Spring Forest Counseling, we use the Gottman Method for couples counseling, an approach rooted in decades of research on relationship dynamics. This method focuses on improving communication, managing conflicts, and nurturing emotional connection through structured exercises and techniques. Our therapists guide couples to build a foundation of mutual respect and understanding, helping them work toward shared goals. The Gottman Method is designed to address both the emotional and practical challenges couples face, empowering them to create strong, lasting partnerships.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at Spring Forest Counseling is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals manage a wide range of mental health challenges. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional difficulties like anxiety and depression. Our therapists work with clients to develop practical skills for reframing thoughts, reducing emotional distress, and building healthier coping strategies. By taking control of their mental health, clients can achieve long-term well-being and personal growth through CBT.
