How We Can Help: Our Therapy Services

At Effective Therapy Services, counseling is built around you.

What if it’s not about fixing what’s wrong, but starting something new?

Healing, trusting, growing. In a safe, confidential space, we’ll help you navigate life’s challenges and move toward what matters most.

  • Therapy offers a space to sort through what’s been heavy, understand where it comes from, and learn new ways to handle life with more balance and strength.

  • EMDR helps your mind process stuck memories so they lose their hold on you. It’s a guided way to make sense of past experiences, helping you feel calmer, more present, and free to move forward.

  • Parent education offers tools and insight to help you understand your child’s behavior, strengthen connection, and bring more calm and confidence to everyday parenting.

  • Play therapy techniques help children communicate through play, build confidence, and learn healthy ways to handle life’s challenges.
