ReConnect specializes in treating a variety of mental health conditions using trauma focused care with body-mind oriented therapies to help clients reconnect with themselves after a traumatic experience. Their programs teach clients tools and techniques with therapies such as somatic experiencing and sensorimotor psychotherapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), brain spotting, neurofeedback, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), art therapy, acupuncture, yoga, and more.
Part of their unique and integrative treatment, they offer methods such as heartmath, a method that stabilizes the pattern of the heart's input to the brain to facilitate cognitive function and reinforces positive and stable emotions. Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is a tapping technique on acupuncture points to help relieve emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety. A method referred to as a resilience toolkit teaches clients skill building, emotional awareness, and mindfulness techniques that reduce stress and chronic tension.
