Asking for help
is the first step.
Client Focus
First Responders
At Halfwild Counseling, we are familiar with the needs of the Fire, EMS, Police, and Dispatch communities. We understand your schedules, are comfortable with your stories, and welcome your humor. We offer flexible scheduling, community-informed approaches, and skill-based counseling to help you help yourself.
Teachers
It has been a hard year for teachers. We are here for you. We are familiar with the challenges you are facing both in school and out. Let this be your first step to modeling healthy coping for yourself, your classrooms, and your families.
Medical Professionals
While you are taking care of everyone else, have you been taking care of yourself? Halfwild Counseling can help you rebuild your own mental and emotional energy. We know you are burned out and we are here to help you learn how to do more than just survive in the ever-changing medical field.
Veterinarians and Vet Techs
We know that veterinary medicine is a combination of grief, trauma, burnout, and most importantly—dedication to the animals. If you are finding it hard to have faith in humanity, or you’ve considered quitting the field you love, reach out. We are here to help you set healthy boundaries and balance your schedule.
Treatment Style
Trauma-Informed
We start with building trust between clients and counselors, developing healthy coping skills, and practicing emotional regulation. Then, when the time is right, we reprocess the trauma using TFCBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Narrative Therapy, EMDR, and other best practices. Finally, once you have faced your trauma, we help you learn to integrate your new knowledge and skills into your life.
Mindfulness-Based
Mindfulness does not have to be just the buzzword your therapist uses to get you to meditate. It can be as simple as taking a walk, paying attention to your body, or sitting outside. The skills we teach are practical, useful, and applicable everywhere from the Emergency Room to the classroom.
Client-Centered
This is your life. We believe that our clients have their own best solutions. We are not here to be the expert on your life. We are here to walk with you through your challenges and help you find effective ways to improve your life, your relationship to yourself, and your relationship to other people.
