Our Therapy

---

U Got This!! Therapy Services, PLLC provides a personal opportunity to experience comfort, support and growth at a time when you need it the most. Individual therapy is a process through which you would work one-on-one with your therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Together we will explore different aspects of your life to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and others, while setting personal goals, and working towards desired change.  

If you have suffered a significant trauma in your life that continues to intrude on the present and negatively impacts your functioning, EMDR might be the right fit for you. Some examples of major traumas include:

• physical or sexual abuse
• a serious accident
• a natural disaster such as a hurricane, flood, or earthquake; or 
• witnessing violence or a death

EMDR can also be effective for treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression from prolonged stress such as growing up with alcoholism, surviving multiple affairs, or living in poverty or with mental illness in the family. During the treatment, the patient focuses on the traumatic event and accompanying sensations while also following the therapist’s fingers with his or her eyes as the fingers are moved back and forth. (The fingers are most often used, but some therapists use auditory tones or tapping instead.) This is then repeated numerous times until the patient does not feel distress when thinking about the upsetting memory. The eye movements are not the most significant component, but rather it is the client’s brain that is doing the healing. Patients who have had EMDR treatment can still remember the traumatic event, but either feel less disturbed by it or experience no distress at all.

 U Got This!! Therapy Services provides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a type of talk therapy that uses psycho-social intervention aimed at improving mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. CBT focuses on identifying, challenging and changing unhelpful distorted thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors. This leads to an improvement in emotional regulation and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.

U Got This!! Therapy Services also provides Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for clients impacted by trauma and their family or caregivers. TF-CBT is a components-based model of psychotherapy that addresses the unique needs of clients with PTSD symptoms, depression, behavior problems, and other difficulties related to traumatic life experiences. U Got This!! Therapy Services provides TF-CBT as a short-term treatment approach over 16 sessions. It can also be provided for longer periods of time depending on the client’s and family’s needs. Individual sessions for the client and for the family or caregiver sessions, are part of the treatment. TF-CBT is recognized as being one of the most effective interventions for clients who have significant psychological symptoms related to trauma exposures. 

U Got This!! Therapy Services provides Nurturing Parenting sessions, which is a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices. The goal is to create stronger bonds and relationships in the family that are respectful, empathetic and understanding.
