Our Mission
Life's storms — grief, burnout, betrayal, anxiety, major transitions — can leave us feeling scattered, exhausted, or unsure who we are anymore.
If you're here, you've already survived the hardest part.
At AfterStorm, we specialize in walking alongside adults who are picking up the pieces and wanting more than just "getting by."
Whether you're dealing with lingering depression, relationship wounds, trauma echoes, or simply the quiet question "What now?", this is a space to feel seen, not fixed overnight.
We use evidence-informed approaches (including somatic work, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques) in a judgment-free environment.
Sessions are collaborative, real, and paced to you.
You're not broken. You're in recovery. Let's start there.
Traditional talk therapy — the classic "sit and process" model, often rooted in cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), psychoanalysis, or general psychotherapy — has helped millions of people gain insight, reframe thoughts, and build coping skills. It's a powerful tool for many, and we honor the good it does.
But it's not the right fit for every story, every nervous system, or every kind of pain. Research and real human experience show that traditional talk therapy falls short for a significant number of people — estimates range from 25-50% reporting limited or no benefit, and some even feeling worse after sessions.
Here are some honest reasons why "just talking" sometimes doesn't move the needle — or can even feel re-traumatizing.
At AfterStorm, we believe healing isn't about forcing one method on everyone. That's why we integrate body-centered, trauma-informed approaches (drawing from somatic work, parts/IFS-inspired exploration, mindfulness-based techniques, and nervous system regulation) alongside thoughtful talk when it serves you.
We meet you where the storm left its marks — in your body, your energy, your patterns — and work collaboratively to help discharge what's stuck, rebuild safety from the inside out, and move toward a life that feels more like yours again.
You're not "resistant" or "broken" if traditional therapy didn't click. It just means your path might need a different kind of map. If this resonates, let's talk about what rebuilding could look like for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@afterstormcounseling.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The cost of a counseling session at After Storm Counseling varies based on the type of service you require. Please contact our office for more information on pricing.
A typical counseling session at After Storm Counseling lasts for 1 hour, although some sessions may be longer or shorter depending on your needs and preferences.
After Storm Counseling counselors can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and loss, trauma, and more.
Everything you share in our sessions — your words, your feelings, your story — is held in the strictest confidence. As an independent therapist, I take every reasonable step to protect your information, including using secure, encrypted platforms for virtual sessions, confidential record-keeping, and GDPR-compliant tools where applicable.
Like all licensed mental health professionals, there are rare, legally mandated exceptions to confidentiality. These include situations of imminent harm to yourself or others, or court-ordered disclosures. I will always discuss these limits with you upfront during our first conversation, and we can explore any concerns together. Outside of these specific circumstances, your information remains yours alone.
Traditional talk therapy is valuable for many, but it doesn't always reach the places where the storm left its deepest marks — in the body, the nervous system, or patterns that feel automatic.
We integrate somatic (body-centered) and trauma-informed approaches to help discharge stuck energy, rebuild safety from the inside out, and support real, lasting change. This isn't about "fixing" you in a process that will take months of years; it's about meeting you exactly where you are and walking together toward feeling more like yourself again.
At AfterStorm, we believe therapy should serve your life — not become a permanent part of it. Healing from life's storms doesn't have to be endless. We hold a strong conviction that real, meaningful change can happen in a focused, timely way when the approach fits you:
collaborative, body-aware, and aimed at building tools you can carry forward independently.
Many people come to us after years of therapy that felt supportive but slow-moving — or even unintentionally prolonged.
We don't believe in keeping clients "in treatment" indefinitely. Instead, we work with the principle that you are the expert on your own life, and our role is to help you access your inherent resilience as quickly and safely as possible.
You're not here to be "fixed" forever — you're here to reclaim your life after the storm. We commit to efficient, respectful work that honors your time, your energy, and your right to feel whole again sooner rather than later.
That's common, and it's not a sign you're "resistant" or broken. Many come to us after talk therapy helped some but left the body still on alert. We specialize in those "stuck" places — using somatic tools to help the nervous system feel safe enough for deeper processing. Your past experiences are valuable info; we'll build on what worked and shift what didn't.
We also offer intensive retreats. Intensive retreats (also called therapy intensives or immersion retreats) are short, immersive experiences — typically 3–7 days (sometimes up to 2 weeks) — where clients work deeply with a therapist (or small team) in extended sessions (4–8 hours/day). They're often held in serene, distraction-free settings like nature retreats, coastal spots, or private accommodations.
These retreats include somatic experiencing, ART/Accelerated Resolution Therapy) to target core issues like trauma, grief, burnout, attachment wounds, or lingering anxiety/depression.
They are held with a personalized 1:1 or small-group format — high customization, often with built-in breaks for integration (walks, rest, gentle somatic practices).
Research and client reports highlight why these can accelerate the rebuilding you emphasize:
- Faster symptom relief and breakthroughs — Studies (e.g., on intensive EMDR) show similar or better results than weekly therapy, with reduced dropout rates. Clients often process years of material in days due to continuity — no week-long gaps that let defenses rebuild.
- Deeper nervous system reset — The contained environment helps discharge stuck fight/flight/freeze energy more efficiently, leading to quicker shifts in safety, regulation, and self-trust.
- Empowerment and momentum — Many leave with concrete tools (somatic practices, parts work insights) to carry forward independently, aligning with your goal of not fostering dependency.
- Ideal for "stuck" clients — Those who've done talk therapy but feel the body still holds tension often experience profound release here.
- Efficiency — Equivalent to months of weekly sessions in a short burst — cost-effective long-term if it prevents prolonged therapy.
Clients frequently report feeling "more whole," confident, and ready to step into life again — echoing your post-storm hope.
