Therapy Services

At Pieces of Clay we are passionate about supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues. We enjoy helping people navigate life transitions and supporting them as they achieve their personal goals. At Pieces of Clay we offer services to adults, teens, children (3+) and families.

EMDR

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. April uses EMDR with her clients on a daily basis to help people heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, phobias, and various other distressing problems. At Pieces of Clay, we offer traditional 50 minute EMDR sessions and EMDR intensives.

Play Therapy

Play Therapy is a powerful tool that uses the language of children- PLAY! Embracing play as a therapeutic modality, we give space and ability to process, understand, and support difficult emotions and trauma in a way that children don’t have the verbal skills to do.

Talk Therapy

April uses a client centered approach to create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you're struggling with processing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, talk therapy can help you find clarity, hope and make sense of your story.
