We are excited to share that Arianah has officially completed her EMDR training! We are proud of Arianah for investing in her professional growth and expanding the ways she can support our community. Please join us in congratulating her on this exciting achievement!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy approach that helps people process difficult experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and move toward healing and resilience.

What may look like “just playing” is often the important work of healing, growing, and developing resilience!

Through play therapy, children practice courage by trying new things, facing challenges, and working through fears in a safe environment. They process difficult experiences by reenacting, exploring, and gaining mastery over situations that may feel overwhelming. They also discover their own strengths as they problem-solve and learn that they can handle more than they once believed.

At Common Spring Therapy Group, we recognize play as a powerful path to understanding and change!

One of our favorite parts of this work is building relationships with people who care deeply about kids, their families and our community. Connecting with Foster Families Navigation & Resource Center reminded me just how powerful collaboration can be! When agencies and providers come together, our clients and their families benefit! Thank you for the warm welcome! I am so excited about how we can serve together 🤍
