At Movement Counseling + Wellness, we believe that a multi-modal approach to treatment yields the most positive and lasting results. In light of this, we offer a wide range of therapy services, including EMDR, animal-assisted therapy, play therapy, and nature therapy. In addition to counseling services, we offer acupuncture sessions, nutrition and fitness courses, and academic support. For more information about any of these services, check out the “Services” tab above.

We can provide private pay clients with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company. Depending on your insurance, our services may contribute to your out-of-network deductible.

We are open Monday through Friday from 9am - 7pm and Saturdays from 9am - 3pm. Our office is closed on Sundays.

The first time that we meet, we will go over the initial paperwork and set goals for therapy. Your therapist will ask you some questions, but you can decide how much you want to tell them. Trust is a feeling, and we don’t expect you to share everything the first time. Your therapist may also write things down the first time we meet, and you are welcome to look at anything they write.

Our clinicians tell adolescents and parents, “What is said in my office, stays in my office. If there is something that I think parents should know, then I will help the adolescent find a way to tell their parents.” Parents are an important part of the therapeutic process, and we include them as much as the adolescent and therapist think is necessary.

Education is an important part of the process for adolescents. Your current therapist may not be the last therapist that they see, so we want them to know what their rights are in therapy.

You will have to sign a release of information which allows us to talk to important people in your life. If we speak to another provider, you will be able to tell us what you do and do not want shared.

Our goal is to put ourselves out of a job. We want you to develop skills that you can integrate into your everyday life. You will develop skills to help manage your emotions and stay in the present. You will also learn how your body holds onto stress, depression, and anxiety. Finally, we will incorporate organization and time management skills into our time together.

We set goals when we first start working together and re-evaluate these goals twice a year. Since it is hard to put a numeric value on progress, we use these goals to determine where we have come and where we still need to go. Our goal is to put ourselves out of a job because you are achieving your goals.
