We have two different models for complex trauma counseling that are empirically based. EMDR is used with our adult population.
Strategic Trauma – Abuse and Recovery (12 STR)
Eye Movement Desentation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
This model helps adults identify sources of trauma in their life, reach safety and stabilization by developing healthy boundaries and healthy coping skills, working through the trauma story, identifying unhealthy beliefs and interupretations, replacing survival responses, inventory of losses from the trauma, understanding Godly forgiveness, and celebrating spiritual and personal growth throughout the process.
EMDR includes history taking of client’s life, preparation for trauma work including developing healthy coping skills and boundaries, working through traumatic memories to help them move into the adaptive brain. EMDR reprocessing enables the client to find closure or resolution with the trauma.
The Complex Trauma Program has been designed for individuals who have multiple sources of trauma or a single source of trauma that has occured over a long period of time.

A Christ-centered play therapy model to meet the spiritual, emotional, and mental health needs of children. Through play therapy, children learn to accept responsibility for behavior, engage in healthy coping strategies, acquire problem-solving skills, develop empathy for others, and gain an understanding of identity in Christ.
Addictions always originate in pain… The question is never ‘why the addiction?,’ but rather ‘why the pain?’” (Dr. Gabor Maté). Counselors can help those struggling with addictions address underlying painful issues and then break the addictive patterns.
Behavioral issues at home or in school often have an underlying cause, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. The experienced staff at Cord of 3 meets each child with love, builds trust, and applies effective treatment that approaches the root cause of the behavior.
Every person will at some point have at least one potentially traumatic experience, but this doesn’t impact everyone in the same ways. When struggling to process and move on from negative life experiences, therapy offers a powerful method of finding support and healing.
Individual counseling can help overcome the sometimes overwhelming fear and hopelessness by helping you better understand the conditions that led to the emotional brokenness you are experiencing, and applying healthy coping skills against them.
