We Are Here to HELP & Support
Treatment for individuals, couples, and families.
We provide full-service counseling by professional, licensed, skilled counselors and therapists. Eagle's Wings Counseling Center seeks to provide exceptional care to each person who walks through our doors.
General Therapy Includes:
“Play is the language of children and toys are their words”. This statement from Gary Landreth stands true.
Children in play therapy are able to choose from an array of toys, games, and activities to communicate their feelings and needs. The therapist provides prompts and activities that center around emotional regulation, communication, needs and wants, attachment and attunement styles, etc. and allows the child to express themselves and explore these things through play. Parents are involved in routine, parent sessions to discuss goals and recurring behaviors and reactions at home to keep the therapist informed.
Therapeutic role-playing is another way to creatively engage both children, adolescence, and young adults and exploring their strengths, challenges, and traumatic life experiences through story.
The therapist first explores the clients interests and then is able to walk them through creating a character(s) that has many of their attributes. Then the therapist tailors a unique storytelling experience for the client in which they use their imagination and creativity to role-play as their character while facing many challenges that resemble the challenges and barriers in their own life.
The therapist is able to walk the client through utilizing their strengths and abilities to overcome these challenges in a safe and controlled environment.
Premarital Therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help couples prepare for marriage by developing essential relationship skills and addressing potential challenges. It aims to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and foster a strong foundation for a healthy partnership.
Our trained Marriage and Family Therapist utilizes the Save Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) Assessment Tool to your individualized premarital counseling plan.
Couples should expect at least 12 sessions to complete their assessment counseling and will receive a certificate of completion at the end which, in some states, can assist with receiving a discount on the couples' future marriage license costs.
There are times in our lives where weekly therapy appointments are difficult to incorporate into our busy lives. Other times we have so much going on that a 50 minute session is not enough time to address your needs. If this sounds familiar to you then a therapy intensive is one alternative you might want to consider.
The typical Couples Intensive package provides 10-12 hours of therapy occurring over 2-3 days (weekends included) using a gold-standard, evidence-based approach. For new couples the Intensive will begin with assessments prior to the first session, an individual session for each partner, a personalized evaluation of the strengths and needs of the couple, and therapy with a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
The Seven Principles Program brings the knowledge gained from over 40 years of research and real-life couple observations to you in an experiential workshop for couples.
Based on the best-selling book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John M. Gottman, Ph.D.,and Nan Silver, this program is designed to strengthen relationships through interaction with the concepts, behaviors and skills presented in the book.
Ideal for groups of 10-15 couples the program format can be delivered in 8,10, or 12 hour versions. Workshops are typically 1-2 days but can also be delivered via weekly, 1-2 hour events.
EMDR therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and other distressing life experiences.
EMDR therapy involves an eight-phase approach that helps individuals process distressing memories, thoughts, and feelings. A key component of EMDR is the use of bilateral stimulation , which typically involves eye movements, but can also include alternating tactile stimulation (e.g., handheld buzzers or tapping) or auditory tones. This works by facilitating the brain's natural healing process.
When a traumatic or distressing event occurs, it can sometimes be "improperly stored" in the brain, leading to ongoing symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and avoidance. EMDR therapy aims to help the brain reprocess these memories, allowing them to be integrated in a healthier way. During EMDR, you will focus on a distressing memory, without needing to explain in extensive detail, while engaging in eye movements. This process can help reduce your nervous system’s response associated with the memory and promote adaptive processing of the information.
Clients often report significant reduction in symptoms associated with trauma and other distressing experiences. Potential benefits include:
• Decreased distress related to traumatic memories
• Reduced symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression
• Improved self-esteem and self-worth
• Resolution of phobias and panic attacks
• Enhanced ability to cope with current life stressors
• Increased emotional regulation and stability
EMDR is recognized as an effective treatment by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization, and the Department of Defense.
OCD can feel debilitating, but it doesn't have to!
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based approach shown to significantly reduce OCD symptoms. ERP treatment focuses on learning to respond differently to symptoms, and helps you take gradual steps to face intrusive thoughts and resist compulsions.
With time and practice, ERP can help you take your life back from OCD.
Enneagram Coaching is a form of personal development that uses the Enneagram personality framework to help individuals and couples understand their core motivations, behaviors, and patterns. It focuses on personal growth, relationships, and achieving goals by providing insights tailored to each person's Enneagram type.
Whether you are individually having to move on after being betrayed in an affair, unsure of the direction you want to take, or you are motivated to heal your marriage... there is hope for your healing.
Our CSAT/Affair Recovery Specialists/Betrayal Trauma Therapists are highly skilled and specialize in helping couples and individuals heal from the pain of betrayal.
You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You have trauma and you can heal.
When trust and safety are broken through infidelity and/or pornography addiction, the betrayed spouse will have to navigate a set of symptoms called Betrayal Trauma. BT is similar to PTSD with the added symptom of Relational Reality Disorientation.
Our CSAT Therapists/Betrayal Trauma Specialists help clients heal and repair from all of the aspects of Betrayal Trauma.
More than just mastering your domain.
“Engaging in persistent and escalating patterns of sexual behavior acted out despite increasing negative consequences to self and others.” - The National Council on Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity.
We have CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) Therapists on our staff who specialize in helping individuals find freedom from unwanted behavior, understanding the root causes, and healing the relationships that have been affected.
There is HOPE!
The latest technology in truth verification.
Knowing the truth about the full scope of betrayal behaviors (a therapeutic disclosure) creates safety for the betrayed spouse and is essential for their healing process.
Taking an EyeDetect® test to verify the accuracy of the disclosure provides just that. In addition, it invites the unfaithful spouse to break through denial and begin to practice taking responsibility and honesty.
While the use of polygraph in betrayal trauma is widely practiced and accepted, Eagle's Wings is one of only a few counseling centers in the country to offer this next generation lie detector.
Testimonials from Eagle's Wings Clients
What a great resource to have Eagle’s Wings Counseling Center, a Christian approach to wellness, here in the area! As much as pastors love their congregants, sometimes professional services are required to move the healing process along. I have found Eagle’s Wings to be very effective and efficient in scheduling, billing, and most importantly client care. I would recommend their services to anyone who is in need of emotional health, including pastors themselves.
I was the victim of childhood sexual and physical abuse. I carried the shame with me each and every day. I thought I was “used goods” and unlovable. I became addicted to drugs and alcohol, lived on the streets, and sold myself because I thought that was all I was worth. Then I found Eagle’s Wings. Through EWCC, I learned that I was a person of worth; I let go of the shame that was not mine to carry, and felt freedom in forgiving my abusers. I now am happily married, have a job, and am living in Freedom and Joy!
I had an affair. It devastated my wife and caused me to lose my faith. Through counseling at Eagle's Wings, I know that I am forgiven. I came to understand the woundedness that fueled me having an affair, and I am becoming the husband that I always should have been. EWCC understood all of the dynamics for both myself and my wife and we found hope and healing there.
Our first marital session, we announced that after 15+ years of marriage, we were going to get a divorce. We have three children. Through our sessions at Eagle’s Wings, we learned to understand each other, to forgive each other, to laugh with each other, and to enjoy each other again. Our marriage (and family) is now stronger than ever!
I had seen other counselors for dealing with my husband's abusive behavior and sexual addiction and it left me feeling misunderstood, feeling like it was my responsibility, and confused. I was broken and had no hope. I came to Eagle's Wings on the recommendation of my Pastor. Sitting with a therapist on the Eagle's Wings Team, I finally felt understood, validated, and had some hope that someone gets the trauma I've been through and could help me navigate such a confusing time. I attended the women's groups and did individual counseling. Today, I am strong, recovering, and have a new hope for my future. I see clearly now all that was happening in my marriage and found tools to equip me to deal with it, face the issues, and make healthy decisions. Thank you Eagle's Wings!
I was addicted to pornography, and was in a failing marriage due to affairs that I had. I was locked in chains, a prisoner of my own addiction. I was broken. Thanks to Eagle's Wings, I have been set free from my addiction! I am becoming whole again and am restoring my relationship with my family!
