About Safe Harbor Wellness PLLC

We are passionate about helping clients overcome past childhood experiences that hinder their success. We work with individuals ready to confront and heal from their past. It's rewarding to see them thrive and achieve their goals. Through EMDR, IFS, mindfulness techniques, and more, we have successfully helped our adult clients with PTSD, anxiety, childhood sexual abuse, and more, empowering them to face current challenges. We also work with children ages 3 and up (must be potty trained) who need help as they grow, dealing with trauma, abuse, or social adjustment. Safe Harbor Wellness PLLC has a fully equipped play therapy room.

We offer EMDR, IFS, CBT, mindfulness and more, as a mix of approaches is the best way to help you navigate the issues you are facing. With EMDR, desensitizing your most painful memories can really help you begin to grow past them and have success. We also offer Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Puppets, Art Therapy, and more for children.

Making your mental health a priority can be difficult, but we are here to help you navigate through life while supporting your goals. We offer a safe space and an environment focused on growth. Let's make a difference in your mental health together.
