Trauma Therapy to help survivors cross the threshold into lives defined by creativity, connection, and possibility.
Threshold Center utilizes specialized trauma methods of EMDR, parts work, and drama play therapy.
Because community and relationships are often most-impacted by trauma, Threshold Centers specializes in relationally-focused group therapy.
Trauma-focused therapy care to help with deep understanding
The challenge for people impacted by traumatic events is that many therapists are not trained in trauma-focused care, which is different than trauma-informed care. I’m trained in trauma-focused care and treatments methods and can offer specialized support to help people who are experiencing traumatic stress to help them understand themselves, their symptoms, and how this impacts treatment.
We specialize in…
-
Therapy for Dissociative Identity
Validating, inclusive and respectful care for individuals with dissociative identity.
-
Group Trauma Therapy
Group therapy designed for trauma survivors to be part of a community, and live more authentically in the present.
-
EMDR Intensives
Trauma-focused longer sessions using bilateral stimulation to help you experience the relief you deserve.
-
Drama Therapy
Trauma-focused drama therapy to help you engage your creativity to lower the impacts of traumatic stress.
Part of what makes Threshold unique is our focus on creativity and connection. Creative methods are used whenever possible, and community offerings such as group therapy are core to our identity as the building of caring and genuine relationships is a powerful antidote to effects of traumatic stress.
Meet Katrina, your Therapist
When we experience life-changing events, we can feel frozen in state of loss, distress, and isolation; similar to Persephone in the underworld. It can feel like an unending season of fall or winter.
At Threshold, we don’t work on erasing the past, or pretend that things that happened didn’t happen, but to help you be able to move again between the different emotional seasons within you. We honor the experiences of fall and winter, and also find ways to make more space to experience the summer and spring again. What’s done is done, and what has happened cannot unhappen; but, what is in your control is to change is your relationship to what happened.
Sometimes death is a girl in a night slip,
cheeks tinted pink from fever.
Or a soldier calling out for his mother
nearing the end in the battlefield.
Hades used to think death was unforgiving and cold
each time he heard mortals cry out as they mourned.
But when Hades watches Persephone kiss their foreheads
as their lips part on their last breath,
he thinks death has never looked so warm.
