Our Approach
Open-minded, compassionate and holistic
​​At Desert Oak Counseling, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized mental health services that empower individuals to explore their inner strengths and overcome challenges, especially as they relate to trauma and addiction. Our mission is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can heal, grow and thrive. We believe in fostering resilience and promoting well-being through evidence-based practices like EMDR, other holisitic approaches, and a commitment to each person's unique journey.
TRAUMA-INFORMED
We provide trauma-informed therapy, which means we understand the prevalence and impact trauma has on mental health, the therapeutic process, and society as a whole. Instead of asking "what is wrong with you?" we ask "what happened to you?" We lead with compassion and understand your past dictates your therapy journey, whether you receive trauma-specific treatment or not.
ALL ARE WELCOME
Desert Oak is a safe, welcoming and inclusive space. We are LGBTQIA+ affirming, and we value and appreciate different cultures, religions, ethnicities and points of view.
​
We intend to accept all parts of you in the therapy room. There is nothing too big or too small for us to work through together.
