Welcome to Honu Psychotherapy Services
At our practice, we believe healing is a deeply personal journey — as unique as each individual who walks through our doors. As experienced psychotherapists specializing in trauma therapy, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive space where your growth, resilience, and emotional well-being are at the heart of everything we do.
Blending compassionate care with advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic therapy, and depth psychotherapy, we offer a multifaceted, research-based approach tailored to your unique needs.
What sets us apart is our commitment to truly personalized, holistic care. We recognize that trauma touches each person differently, and we work collaboratively with you to address the root causes of distress — not just the symptoms. By integrating traditional talk therapy with creative modalities like sandplay and somatic practices, we help you reconnect with both your inner world and your physical self, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
In addition to trauma-focused care, we offer individual therapy and sex therapy, recognizing how central our relationships, identities, and personal experiences are to overall well-being. Our goal is to empower you to cultivate a greater sense of agency, healing, and vitality in every aspect of your life — making therapy not just a place for support, but a catalyst for lasting transformation.
