Dr. Douglas Treese
I received a PhD in Counseling Psychology in 1988. My clinical experience has included work in psychiatric hospitals, managed care agencies and private practice. I see adults individually and in marriage/relationship counseling. My clients have, in addition to other problems, presented with depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, stress, mid and later life adjustment, grief, life plan development, and self esteem. I believe counseling happens best on a level playing field. The participants share ideas and discover solutions. There is cooperation, synergy and mutuality of purpose. We begin by mapping what is causing your problem, or areas you want to enhance in your life. Next, we look at psychological and behavioral change. What changes are indicated and how are they best achieved. Finally, we look at how to establish and maintain change . If you would like us to talk, please proceed with an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you. I check messages in the morning and evening. I will respond within 24 hours. Thanks...

Bradley Barker
Trauma often gets “stuck” in the brain and body, keeping old emotions and reactions alive. My approach combines EMDR therapy with trauma-informed techniques like Parts Work (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EMDR helps your brain safely reprocess memories, allowing them to feel like part of your past rather than a present threat. This is why therapy can actually help — it gives your brain the chance to do what it wasn’t able to do on its own. The sessions are paced to your comfort level. You remain in control throughout, and the process allows your brain and body to work with memories safely. I understand how challenging it can be when past experiences continue to affect your life or when therapy hasn’t felt helpful before. My goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work with memories that have been difficult to process. It's time to reclaim your life, power and relationships back from what trauma stole from you. Reach out today to get started!
