Personalized Individual Intensives and
Professional Practitioner Intensive Program

The Estuary offers multi-day intensive workshops created specifically for you. Our compassionate team offers 3 to 10 day intensives that are customized for your specific needs. We provide gentle healing for the whole person.

Intensive Transformational Therapy

While regular individual therapy is beneficial to our overall health, there are times when we need to go deeper and have more intensive work. This can help release trauma or break through negative belief patterns that keep us stuck. The Estuary therapists use a combination of EMDR, brainspotting, mindfulness work, and experiential therapy to help break through the impasse. Therapists and healing professionals often need personal healing in order to deepen their work with clients. This is why we have designed a specific program to meet their unique needs.

Therapists

Lynee Durham, MA
Lynee is a holistic counselor who works with both individuals and couples. Her philosophy is that each one of us is whole, even in our unhealed state. Who we truly are, is not defined by our negative qualities, our attempts to hide those parts of ourselves, nor our harsh self-judgment. True personal healing involves recognizing and accepting those parts of ourselves, eliminating superimposed values of others, and making conscious choices that are based on our own beliefs about our life. This personal healing allows us to step into the life we have always known was our truth.

Jenny Emerson, MMFT, LMT
Jenny has an understanding of the human condition and a heart for healing. She holds compassion for those dealing with relationship struggles, family conflict, job stress, money issues, insomnia, weight gain/loss, anxiety and depression. It is by her holding this compassion while offering a variety of therapeutic techniques, that clients are able to come to a place of healing within themselves.

Who can benefit

Trauma survivors who are alumni of recovery centers, those struggling with the effects of traumatic grief, war, political or criminal violence, rape, child abuse or neglect, sexual abuse, accidents or natural disasters. Witnesses of these traumatic events benefit tremendously from the process as well. Individuals with chronic illness, trauma related depression, PTSD, anxiety, sexual difficulties, panic attacks and eating disorders have found this work life changing. Often clients find that they want to explore healing in a new way.

Therapists and healing professionals have found the Professional Practitioner Intensive Program useful in processing transference and deep personal issues. This allows their work to be more client-centered, therefore opening the door for stronger therapeutic relationships with their clients.
