Therapies & Treatments
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from the lingering effects of trauma by allowing the brain to process memories in a more adaptive way. Through compassionate guidance, it supports your natural ability to move toward calm, safety, and emotional balance
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) helps partners reconnect by understanding and reshaping the emotional patterns that keep them feeling distant or stuck. Rooted in compassion and attachment science, it fosters safety, trust, and closeness—helping couples repair and strengthen their bond.
Child & Family Therapy
Child and Family Therapy provides a supportive space for families to understand each other’s needs, strengthen communication, and foster emotional connection. With compassion and care, it helps families navigate challenges together, creating a foundation of safety and resilience for every member.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
“Emily Bushell has a very distinct and innate gift for helping others on their healing journey. After many, many years of therapy, conventional and nonconventional, I have yet to find a therapist as gentle, accepting, loving, compassionate and professional toward her clients as Emily is. She is deeply committed to and skilled in EMDR and her sessions have helped me immensely. Not only is she a great guide, who's helped me explore some of the most painful and terrifying parts of my life, she's empowered me to let my own body and intuition guide me in our EMDR sessions, which has been both healing and liberating. She is a gift to this world and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support on their healing journey. " AB
"A very welcoming and comfy environment for anyone going to therapy for the first time. Highly recommend EMDR services!!" JB
