Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment model intended to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and ensuing beliefs. Through this structured, multi-phased process, clients re-process experiences that have gotten "stuck" through a gentle yet powerful somatic approach.

​

EMDR is grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model and posits that our brain is hardwired to process adversity adaptively, similar to the ways our body naturally works to heal wounds. Extreme stress disrupts this process, causing associated memories to be stored in isolated networks, disconnected from our resilient neural network and remaining "active" in our nervous system. 

​

EMDR works hand-in-hand with adventure therapy, which also approaches adversity through intuitive channels within the body. We often integrate the two for a more expansive client experience.

 

Becoming EMDR-trained is as serious commitment for our therapists. Basic EMDR training for a single practitioner is around $2k, 40+ hours of coursework, and months of specialized supervision. To reflect the specialized training our therapists receive, our private pay rate for individual therapy is $180 per 53-minute session. Please contact your insurance carrier for out-of-network benefits.

Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) is an empirically supported family therapy model specifically designed to restore the foundation of trust within the family. It targets family and individual processes through a series of relational tasks, resulting in a secure, emotionally protective parent–child relationship.

 

ABFT is rooted in attachment theory and espouses that the quality of a child's relationship with their caregiver significantly influences the child's mental health. A strong, safe relationship with a caregiver is demonstrated to be one of the determining factors of a child's resilience in the face of adversity. In fact, it's this relationship that often buffers a child from the painful side effects of trauma.  

​

Equipped with this knowledge, Journey Bound therapists offer this 12-16 week family treatment in conjunction with individual therapy for any client enrolled in the Base Camp youth program. We often encourage families to start this process early on in the program. Doing so lays the groundwork for constructive conversations as clients become better equipped to tackle harder tasks throughout their work.​

​

Because we see it as an inalienable part of the Base Camp process, we ask the investment for families be paid in their time, not their pockets. ABFT is available for any active clients enrolled in the Base Camp program for a reduced rate of $90 per 53-minute session.
