Our child therapists work to earn each child’s trust so that they feel encouraged to open up about what’s going on in their head. Once we uncover issues, our caring therapists help children process their emotions. We then develop practical strategies to help children manage their emotions in a healthy way. Trusting someone else with your child’s mental health is a big deal.

Symptoms We Treat
Anxiety is the body’s natural reaction to stressful situations, like work deadlines, school projects, or relationship problems. Anxiety disorders can cause persistent and excessive distress, even in seemingly light situations. If you experience overwhelming feelings of fear or worry, you may benefit from speaking with one of our compassionate therapists at Spring Forest Counseling. You might notice a disconnect between your mind and body during episodes, increased heart rate, or even shakiness. These are all very common but very troublesome symptoms that many people experience, and Spring Forest Counseling is committed to helping you overcome anxiety in a way that works for you.
Therapeutic Approaches
Play Therapy
Play therapy focuses on helping young patients navigate emotional and behavior challenges in their lives. This type of therapy involves observing patients play with different types of toys or games, and encouraging them to play and speak freely. Spring Forest Counseling offers non-directive play therapy. While therapists may gently guide young clients in playing, they do not specify the games or toys they play with. We prefer to let them choose whichever game or toy catches their eye. This freedom to choose helps children feel more comfortable and open towards speaking with our therapists. Under the guidance of a licensed child therapist, play therapy can help children resolve underlying emotional issues. Our caring play therapy counselors understand that developing minds are learning to process their feelings and often need guidance.
EMDR
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a common treatment choice for individuals struggling with a traumatic event, such as the death of a loved one, natural disasters, or surviving assault. Discover how Spring Forest Counseling EMDR therapy can help you heal emotionally. As compassionate, licensed professionals, our counselors can help individuals reprocess hardships and get back to feeling like themselves again. During therapy sessions, patients recall triggering experiences in short doses as the therapist directs their eye movements. The goal is to allow patients to integrate these recollections into their other memories, making traumatic moments more bearable.
EFT
Spring Forest Counseling offers Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) counseling, a highly effective approach to improving relationships and emotional well-being. EFT helps individuals and couples explore and transform negative patterns in their interactions, fostering deeper connections and understanding. By focusing on emotional experiences and attachment needs, EFT therapists guide clients in building stronger, more secure relationships. This evidence-based approach is particularly beneficial for couples, helping them navigate conflicts, enhance intimacy, and create lasting bonds rooted in trust and empathy.
Gottman
Spring Forest Counseling provides Gottman Method counseling, a research-based approach designed to strengthen relationships through practical, evidence-based techniques. Grounded in decades of research, the Gottman Method helps couples enhance communication, manage conflict, and deepen their emotional connection. Therapists trained in this method guide couples through structured exercises that focus on building mutual respect, understanding, and shared meaning. By addressing both the emotional and practical aspects of relationships, Gottman counseling empowers couples to create lasting, healthy partnerships.
CBT
Spring Forest Counseling offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective approach for addressing a wide range of mental health issues. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Through structured sessions, clients learn practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges by reframing their thoughts and developing healthier coping mechanisms. This evidence-based therapy empowers individuals to take control of their mental health, fostering lasting change and improved well-being.
