About Therapy at The Nest
Q: What types of therapy do you offer?
At The Nest Counseling Center, we offer individual, couples, and group therapy. Our therapists specialize in areas like anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, Kink, Poly - ENM, EMDR, relationship challenges, and neurodivergent support.
Q: Do you offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy?
Yes. Our therapists have been extensively training in care for LGBTQIA+ clients. Many of us identify within the community ourselves, and we create a safe space where you don’t have to explain or justify your identity.
Q: What is EMDR therapy and how can it help?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy approach that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. It’s especially helpful for PTSD, phobias, and negative self-beliefs.
