Services
Trauma-Focused Therapy
All of our Counselors consider how experienced traumas may impact the individuals who come to see us. We provide support as we sort through these hurts together creating understanding and making changes.
TF-CBT
Trauma Focused CBT Counselors at Trilogy Counseling have completed specified training in this area. They work with their clients to explore their life narratives, distressful experiences and change negative thought patterns. They may utilize the relationship with the client or others close with the client to make change, also incorporating other humanistic-type therapy modalities. https://www.nctsn.org/sites/default/files/interventions/tfcbt_fact_sheet.pdf
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The Counselors at Trilogy Counseling help those we support to change unhealthy ways of thinking. We find that with use of CBT, we can shift emotions, feelings and actions by assisting our clients with altering the way they think about things. By changing all of these areas clients have expressed feeling better about how they interact with others and the world. https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/patients-and-families/cognitive-behavioral
Online Therapy
These are services offered online through a secure video chat, via email, or on the telephone. Trilogy Providers ask that we both meet from confidential locations and that there are limited to no distractions. This can be a super helpful way to receive therapy if it is difficult to get to an office location for whatever reason. This can also be super helpful as your Therapist can see what it’s like to be at your home, work, or other area you choose to meet from. You can share your space and what you experience from these environments. Some people find this to be more comfortable than coming into the office for services. All Trilogy Counselors have experience and training in how to support others using Telehealth services.
EMDR
Trilogy Counseling offers EMDR Therapy at our Princeton location. An EMDR Therapist is a Counselor who has completed approved training so they may competently offer this technique with clients they work with. EMDR can be used for many mental health issues, including trauma. EMDR is the use of repeated “bilateral stimulation” to help clients change the way they think about or react to certain “stuck” or upsetting issues. This helps them to move forward and create a healthier understanding of what they experienced so it no longer impacts their life negatively. https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/
Individual Counseling
Counseling offers a safe, supportive space for those who need to work through mental health concerns or life stresses to feel heard and accepted. People use this space a number of ways for a number of reasons. Counseling can vary in benefit. A Therapist or Counselor is present with the identified client for this process. This person has completed training and schooling around Counseling. They become licensed when they have completed a certain amount of supervised hours and pass exams with the board they are seeking licensure from, along with the required schooling for that particular license. https://www.counseling.org/aca-community/learn-about-counseling/what-is-counseling
Couples & Family Counseling
A Therapist who provides Marriage or Family Counseling should have completed schooling and/or specified training in these areas. Therapists at Trilogy Counseling, who provide these services, explore the family system and how it relates to those involved. The “client” in this type of counseling is the relationship. The Therapist may help all involved figure out what role they may fill in the family system and assists the family/couple in interrupting unhealthy relational or communication patterns. https://www.aamft.org/About_AAMFT/About_Marriage_and_Family_Therapists.aspx
Play Therapy
A Play Therapist is someone who has completed schooling and specific training around play to help others work through issues and better understand themselves. They have also completed several hours of supervision with someone who is experienced in using play with clients in the Counseling setting. While Therapists may us play or art in therapy, they are not a true Play Therapist without the above criteria being met. Play and Expressive Therapy offers people alternative ways to communicate and process through concerns. Many of the Trilogy Counselors use play or art as a medium when working with clients as appropriate. We find this offers a richer therapy experience and opportunity to delve deeper into concerns brought to session. https://www.a4pt.org/page/WhyPlayTherapy
