Play therapy allows children to express complex feelings and thoughts using a nonverbal and universal means of expression. It is an effective way for young children to communicate and process their emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
Sandplay Therapy is especially well suited for working with young children, who often cannot express their feelings in words. This therapeutic approach allows children to explore their emotions and experiences through creative play.
EMDR uses eye movements to change the way a memory is stored in the brain, allowing you to process it. It is a powerful therapy for trauma, anxiety, and other mental health issues, facilitating profound healing and resolution.
ART is a focused psychotherapy designed to quickly alleviate symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. It uses a fixed number of eye movements and focuses on visual imagery and emotional sensations to bring about rapid relief.
At Ridgeline Therapy, we are committed to guiding individuals on their path to emotional well-being.
