Client EmPowerment, Trauma Recovery, and Holistic Counseling at EMHC

Our Vision

We want clients EmPowered to be able to face and successfully navigate the challenges that they face and will face in life.

Our Mission

We exist to disrupt the way mental health issues are both talked about and treated in the counseling space.

Our Values

Hands reaching towards the bright sunlight.

Humility

We believe that each person is the expert of their lives, and it’s our job to find what supports are needed/desired and provide those.

We are companions on the journey.

Respect

We believe in a client-centered approach to counseling. Therefore, our sessions center around the person and not a diagnosis. We respect each person, no matter their struggles.

Being human is what connects us.

The journey is the destination.

Acceptance

We believe that accepting each person as they are makes us better companions on the journey. It opens the possibility that real dialogue and progress can take place in the sessions.

Acceptance is not Agreement.

Our Purpose

It has been estimated that approximately 70% of the people living in the United States will experience a distressing event over the course of their lives. If this estimate is accurate, that would mean in a room of one hundred people, roughly seventy of them would likely have experienced a distressing event. This could be connected to grief and loss or an event that is considered to be traumatic. When those events happen, the environment can be experienced as either supportive or non-supportive. When the environment is non-supportive, the person learns to suppress their thoughts and emotions related to the event, creating a numbness that impacts the way that people experience life. Our purpose at EMHC is to create a space where clients are truly seen, heard, and EmPowered to navigate the impact that the ebbs and flows of life often create. We work in collaboration with our clients to create treatment plans to help them understand and work through their issues and strengthen their overall well-being.
