      <image:caption>Intensives take place over the course of 3 days and are the equivalent of 4-6 months of individual therapy. Giving your self the space to feel your pain helps you reconnect with yourself and find healing. At Heritage Counseling Center, we have a trauma intensive and a men’s sex addiction intensive. Each intensive is hand tailored to suit your specific needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Counseling - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)</image:title>
      <image:caption>EMDR is one of the most effective, research based approaches for the treatment of PTSD and other traumas. EMDR is not just for trauma but can be used for a multitude of different issues including: anxiety, depression, phobias, and addictions. It works by utilizing bi-lateral stimulation to help recall painful memories from the past, with one foot in the present, to help you heal from those memories and make new neural pathways.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Counseling - Teletherapy, a new kind of counseling. Teletherapy or Virtual Counseling, is the online delivery of mental health therapy services. Virtual Counseling sessions are very similar to traditional sessions with one major exception. Instead of sitting in the same room, clients and counselors interact via live video conferencing. Our counselors are trained and certified in Teletherapy. We can help. Exploring your hurt requires a lot of emotional labor, in that even scheduling an appointment can seem overwhelming. Teletherapy can be a less intimidating option for many because you can do it in the comfort of your own space.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Individual virtual counseling sessions are conducted using a secure, HIPPA-compliant video platform and last 50 minutes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am the founder and director of Heritage Counseling Center. My goal for our clinic is helping people find holistic balance emotionally, relationally, spiritually, and physically. I use my trainings listed below to help those struggling with the painful impact of compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction, pornography addiction, infidelity, and the trauma these leave their wake. I am deeply passionate about helping veterans heal from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the unwanted patterns that come from it. Alongside working with military populations, I also enjoy working with people and helping them heal the wounds of childhood/adult attachment trauma and complex PTSD. While I use research-evidence based models, like EMDR and IFS, I am also seminary trained and incorporate spiritual principles into the treatment of those who are interested in doing so. I specialize in providing multi-day intensives that are targeted at helping people who struggle with sex addiction and porn addiction, with the goal of helping them understand the who, what, when, where, why, and how of their addiction or unwanted behaviors. Intensives work with the final goal being able to heal and overcome one’s trauma and/or addiction while also repairing the relationships that were affected. Here, at Heritage Counseling Center, you can find healing and reconnect with yourself, God, and others. In my down time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three dogs. I also enjoy being outdoors, cooking, playing music, and motorsports.

      <image:title>Intensives</image:title>
      <image:caption>What to Expect Our intensives are 3 days of individual therapy consisting of 8 to 9 hour sessions and are hyper-focused on kickstarting your recovery, processing the roots of trauma and finding healing from addiction. You can expect to go through several hours of EMDR therapy during your intensive. Due to their intense nature, access to electronic devices will be limited. This will prevent distractions, ensuring you take the most stable next step of recovery possible. If you are concerned about minor children and/or emergencies, we recommend that you call in the morning or leave a video recording for them. For the intensive you will need to bring a journal and pen/pencil so that you may take any desired extra notes during or after the sessions have ended. This journal can be a valuable tool later in your recovery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Intensives - What is an Intensive?</image:title>
      <image:caption>A three day workshop consisting of individual counseling that focuses on teaching practical steps and helps you understand and heal the root causes of unwanted and addictive behaviors, and the underlying trauma. What makes us different is that we do individual intensives, not group intensives. This gives you the opportunity to sit with your therapist, one on one, for an extended period of time allowing you to find healing and not be limited by the traditional 50 minute session. This is not just an educational seminar but a platform for immersive therapy and healing to take place.</image:caption>
