The theme in our counseling practice this week and in the coming weeks is often around holiday planning, obligations, and expectations. Over the coming weeks, we will be providing additional information about supporting yourself and your nervous system while gaining insights from mindful awareness, curiosity, and reflection. Stay tuned!

Sometimes, no matter how much insight we gain or how clearly we can explain our story…we still feel stuck.

That’s because certain experiences are held not just in our minds, but in our bodies and nervous systems. Traditional talk therapy can offer powerful tools for reflection and understanding, but it doesn’t always reach the deeper layers where trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress live.

That’s where EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can create a profound shift.

EMDR goes beyond talking. It helps the brain and body process what was too overwhelming at the time it happened—so it can finally be released, rather than relived. Through bilateral stimulation and guided reprocessing, clients often find that symptoms ease, emotional burdens lighten, and clarity returns.

If you’ve felt like you know what’s wrong but can’t seem to change how it feels…

This might be the shift you’ve been needing. Reach out to schedule your consult call today:

Slow bilateral stimulation (BLS) is a gentle, rhythmic left-right movement—like tapping or tones—that helps calm the nervous system, support emotional regulation, and deepen mindfulness. Unlike the faster BLS used in EMDR therapy, this slower pace promotes grounding and presence.

Thanks to our partnership with Dharma Dr., group members and active clients can also access slow BLS tools for support at home between sessions.

At Creekside, we strive to offer evidence-based therapy and innovative resources to support your ongoing wellness—both in and beyond the therapy room.

Tabs have been reserved for participants of Caroline Vogel's Mindfulness Groups and Bonnie Barclay's women's group starting in January.

🌿 Mondays are for meditating!!

As the holidays approach, many of us feel the mix of anticipation and stress that this season can bring. Taking time now to slow down, breathe, and center ourselves can make all the difference.

Our upcoming October and November meditation offerings are designed to help you create space for calm, clarity, and grounding, giving you tools that will support you both in the moment, and as you move through the busyness of the upcoming holiday season.

To register, you can go to the Creekside website under groups or you can go directly to Caroline Vogel's website:
