Anchoring in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jean will help you come to understand the many parts of you, that make you, you: How these parts work in harmony and opposition, and ultimately, how these parts came to be as means of finding clarity, confidence, and courage.
Approaches: Holistic, Trauma Informed Care, Integrative (drawing, writing, breathing, visualizing, stretching, etc), Energy Healing, Intensive Holistic Healing.
Safe Space: All of your thoughts, feelings, perspectives, and experiences are welcome at Hope Merchant Counseling. Everyone carries shame, trauma, fears and concerns—all of that is safe at Hope Merchant Counseling. You are free to be YOU; messy, complicated, weird, whatever. No matter race, gender, orientation(s), faith, all ways are welcome.
