Some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is a real faint-like a heartbeat. And pure love-why some days it is so quiet, you don't even know it's there - -Erma Bombeck

EMDR- (Level II Certification)
Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing is an amazing new form of therapy that uses rapid eye
movement to quickly heal many emotional problems that formerly took years
with more traditional methods of therapy. Until a few years ago, certain
conditions were very resistant to treatment and were considered to be
lifetime disabilities. Some of the areas it has been extremely successful
with are PTSD, trauma, childhood wounds, abuse, irrational thoughts,
fears, phobias, anxiety, and panic.. Dr. Solovey and Dr. Hillner have obtained the highest
level certification with this therapy. See more about this at EMDR.com
Helping your Child(ren) with
Divorce
This is a four hour class designed to help parents help their children
through the trauma of divorce and, to hopefully, keep them out of the "middle."
While divorce is not easy for anyone, conflict following divorce is the
best predictor of long term emotional trauma for children and teens. The
seminar helps parents recognize the immediate and long term emotional and
behavioral problems seen in children and how to assist them. A discussion
of stress management for divorcing parents will be presented. The
presenter provides an overview of relevant laws in divorce and custody
cases, models for custody and visitation, methods of effective
communication, and alternatives to litigation.

Anxiety Management
Anxiety disorders effect at least 40% of our
population. No wonder, given the pace of or existence and amount of stress
we confront each day. There are a cluster of disorders including: Phobias,
Panic states, Generalized Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder. There are clusters of symptoms associated with
each disorder. Sleep disturbance, hyper-alertness,
guilt, impaired concentration, intrusive thoughts, feelings of detachment,
obsessions, compulsions, tension, worry, ruminations, fatigability, and
inability to
relax are among the many symptoms associated with anxiety. Diagnosis is
key to appropriate treatment.
Dr. Solovey and Dr. Hillner work with anxiety disorders and have developed thorough treatment methods specifically for the different types.
