Dr. Stephan Porges
I work well with other therapists, health professionals, and other professionals who have experienced relationship issues with their supervisors. I am trained in several different therapies because each person has a unique story with unique struggles and symptoms. Shrek said it well with "Ogres are like onions, they have layers." I am not saying people are onions however, our lives are complicated with lots of layers and each person is unique. I like Shrek's analogy because it keeps me curious as a therapist. If I am curious, I am not assuming I know everything about the client in my office. This is how I like to approach therapy. Our brain has the capacity to heal but sometimes the brain gets stuck in patterns, behaviors or memories.
I have years of experience that I bring to the therapy room. My experience includes but not limited to: Department of Child Safety, Community mental health, Inpatient hospital setting, Intensive outpatient groups, PHP substance use treatment setting, Veteran services provider and private practice setting. If you are curious about me, reach out. We can have a conversation because I offer a complimentary 15 minutes consultation. Good luck in your journey!
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful method of psychotherapy that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress. It has been proven effective for alleviating symptoms of traumatic stress or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR, when done properly, is never about jumping right into the trauma story. It is a process that starts with building skills to be able to experience unpleasant and unwanted sensations associated with trauma and stress without becoming overwhelmed or reactive to them. For more information visit www.EMDRIA.org.
BrainSpotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma,
dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
Brainspotting is effective for a wide variety of emotional and somatic conditions.

Deep Brain Reorienting is a trauma psychotherapy. DBR aims to access and process traumatic experience by tracking the original sequence of physiological responses that occurred when the deep brain had been alerted to a threat or an attachment disruption.
