Bobbi Ebsen Psychotherapy provides:
I bring a pragmatic and logical approach to therapy, emphasizing balance in personal development. My style focuses on guiding individuals who are committed to healing themselves from the ground up. Together, we can work towards fostering qualities such as confidence without arrogance and resilience without inflexibility. My approach is grounded in humility, recognizing the importance of being “salt of the earth” in my practice.
In addition to offering solid advice, I utilize a unique therapeutic style that incorporates the principles of alchemy, which I describe as "alchemistry." This involves holding the energy necessary for your healing process, focusing on integrity, truth, compassion, and forgiveness. By drawing upon the divine feminine and ancient wisdom, I assist in weaving together the fragmented aspects of your being.
I work with individuals aged 12 and up who demonstrate a commitment to their healing journey. Respect and cooperation are fundamental; I value a collaborative relationship where energy is mutually invested in the therapeutic process. I am fully trained in a variety of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic therapies, attachment theory, psychodynamic approaches, and motivational interviewing, ensuring a comprehensive toolbox to support your journey.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy, or counseling, helps those dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, life changes, or emotional issues. Also known as talk therapy, it can improve mental health.
In a safe and supportive environment, you can share your experiences and feelings. With each session, it becomes easier to make positive changes and feel better.
You and your therapist will set specific goals, but individual therapy can generally help with:
Coping with daily life
Insomnia
High anxiety
Ongoing depression
Managing difficult emotions like anger
Navigating life transitions such as divorce or job changes
Healing from abuse or trauma
It's important to recognize that struggles are common. In today’s fast-paced world, many people face anxiety, stress, and feelings of low self-worth, often stemming from societal pressures.
Feeling unfulfilled or dealing with setbacks can make it hard to hope for the future. Many who feel lost may think they don’t need help.
We can support you in identifying your desires, building confidence, and creating a better life. By addressing depression and anxiety, you can find freedom. Working with our team, you can heal from past wounds and discover inner strength, purpose, and resilience.
EMDR Therapy - Trauma Specialty
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a proven therapy that effectively helps those dealing with trauma. It also addresses issues like anxiety, panic, and depression, often providing faster relief than traditional talk therapy.
The method taps into the body's natural rapid eye movement (REM) to access and process troubling memories, aiding in healing without erasing those memories. Instead, EMDR allows individuals to recall these events with less emotional pain.
It effectively treats trauma from severe experiences, like serious car accidents or sexual abuse, as well as everyday challenges, such as public speaking or fears like arachnophobia. EMDR can also improve low self-esteem and negative body image.
Couples counseling
When relationships encounter difficulties stemming from communication problems, discrepancies in sexual desires, instances of infidelity, the challenges of divorce, health issues, or similar concerns, our skilled couples therapists are here to assist you in improving your relationship or guiding you toward a peaceful separation. Marriage counseling and couples therapy are fundamentally alike in their purpose. We are equipped to help you, whether you are married or in a committed partnership. Our primary goal is to help you navigate and resolve conflicts effectively, ultimately leading to the development of a healthy relationship that fully supports and fulfills your emotional, mental, physical, and sexual needs.
Teens
You’re concerned about your teen’s behavior.
Lately, your son or daughter seems more irritable, depressed, or anxious
Your teen is having trouble in school. They don’t seem to be getting along with their peers and that’s left you feeling very concerned.
Adolescence is hard even in the best of situations. Teenagers face a combination of societal pressure, peer pressure, and academic pressure. Then, you add all of the changes they’re facing right now and everything going on in the world around them. At times, the stress can be debilitating. Your child is old enough to have their own thoughts, opinions, and identity. However, they still need guidance and support from you as their parent or caretaker. They may want independence, but they’re not quite ready for it yet. And, on top of it all, they are trying to create their own identity and figure out their place in the world. So, It’s no wonder so many teens experience mental health struggles.
Common issues that bring teens to counseling:
Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
Identity confusion
Sexual or gender confusion
Issues at school
Problems getting along with parents and/or siblings
Parental divorce or separation
