Our Approach
At Eastside Center for Healing, we understand that life experiences, especially those shaped by stress, loss, or adversity, can leave lasting imprints on how you think, feel, and connect with others. We also know that meaningful care begins with honoring your unique worldview, values, and cultural background.
Our work centers on insight and healing, not diagnosis alone. Together, we explore how your experiences have shaped you and how you want to move forward. With a steady, respectful approach grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by genuine partnership, we help you reconnect with your strengths, shift unhelpful patterns, and make room for clarity, calm, and connection in your life again.
At the heart of our work is a deep respect for your autonomy. We support you in making choices that align with your values, your goals, and the life you want to build.
Our role isn’t to direct, but to walk alongside you with curiosity, attentiveness, and collaboration. We take the time to understand what’s underneath the patterns that feel stuck or painful and help you discover practical, meaningful steps toward change.
Our gender-specific groups offer something rare: spaces where clients can connect deeply with others who understand their experience. In these groups, trust builds quickly, conversations run deep, and the support is real. Many clients are surprised by how much they look forward to group, and how energizing, honest, and even lighthearted the process can be when shared with others equally committed to growth.
Evidenced-Based Integreative Care
We tailor our approach using a blend of research-backed therapies that support meaningful, lasting change. Depending on your needs, your care may include:
•Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift limiting thought patterns and behaviors
•Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to increase awareness, reduce reactivity, and calm the nervous system
•Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process trauma and reduce emotional distress tied to past experiences
•Gottman Method Relationship Counseling to strengthen communication and connection in couples
•Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
•Play Therapy to help children express themselves, process emotions, and develop problem-solving skills through creative and symbolic play
•Sexual addiction and intimacy recovery for individuals and couples healing from compulsive behaviors and relational ruptures
•Stages of Change model to honor where you are in your process without pressure or judgment
•Systemic Family Therapy to explore how relational patterns shape emotional struggles and resilience
We don’t rely on any single method. Instead, we listen carefully, respond flexibly, and draw from a rich, interdisciplinary toolkit to support your healing, growth, and connection at any stage of life. As a team, we stay current with emerging research and regularly pursue continuing education so you can feel confident that your care is both compassionate and cutting-edge.
