EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy is a long term for a therapy that engages our brain's natural processing system.  It is based on the neuroscience field's research on how our brains process information.  The therapy utilizes bilateral simulation (BLS) while targeting unprocessed or maladaptively processed memories, information.  Our therapists are trained in this therapy and offer it, as well as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for working with trauma as well as "stuck points" in a belief system that stem from past wounds.  Look for articles in our resource section for more information on EMDR Therapy.  

Our services begin with assessment.  A Psychological Intake/Assessment is with a Licensed Counselor and is designed to assess for symptom, symptom history, family history, social and occupational impairment, and more.    Our nutrition assessments are conducted by a Registered Dietitian trained in eating disorders as well as trauma informed.  This assessment dives more into macro and micro intake  and history, feeding patterns, physical symptoms, growth trends, biorhythms, and more.   Assessments may lead to a treatment plan with us , or they may lead to referral outside of TNC.  We are committed to guiding you well.  

We offer a variety of counseling services to meet the unique needs of our clients, including psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, and family support. We also offer specialized services for exposure needs such as food challenges, supportive meals/snacks, grocery outiings, restaurant outings, activity-based sessions and walk & talk sessions.   We practice using CBT, ACT, DBT, CPT, EMDR, IFS as our primary treatment models, selecting based on client need, request and preference.  Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and nutrition counseling sessions are 45 minutes long..  

Our ConnectED group series brings connection to the forefront of treatment offerings and is a pinnacle of our outpatient program.  This is a component of treatment that is often lost at the OP level of care so we run groups throughout the year for eating disorders, adults, meal support, adolescents, and topic-specific.  Look for our current offerings on our ConnectED page or connect with us to find out more.  

The Nourishment Center is proud to offer The Trinity Program is TNC's Christian treatment track for eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and other life challenges. God has designed humans to live and thrive in community with Him and other Christians.  Any two-person relationship should include the Holy Spirit, making it a Christ-centered relationship. The Trinity Program incorporates this principle into the treatment plan.

When an eating disorder is present and being treated outpatient, often a family is required to structure a treatment setting in the home environment.  This is much easier said than done and requires specialized support, including resourcing, learning how to support, and sometimes counseling is needed for parents and support team members.  We meet you here as well, offering parent counseling, supportive family counseling, and trainings to help enrich this vital piece of the treatment plan.
