What Services Are Available?
Trauma Therapy and PTSD Support
Trauma can affect how you feel, think, relate to others, and move through daily life. Trauma therapy can provide a supportive setting to understand these experiences and work toward meaningful change at a pace that respects your needs.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is one approach that may be considered when someone is working through distressing memories, trauma, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. Your counselor will discuss your history, goals, and comfort level before determining whether EMDR may be appropriate.
Learn more about EMDR therapy.
Anxiety and Depression Counseling
Anxiety and depression can affect sleep, concentration, relationships, work, and everyday activities. Counseling can offer a supportive place to identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward greater stability and well-being.

Grief can follow the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, a major change, or another significant loss. Grief counseling provides space to process what has happened and explore how to move forward while honoring your experience.

North Star provides affirming support for clients exploring identity, sexuality, relationships, gender, or other personal concerns. Counseling is tailored to your experience and goals in a respectful, nonjudgmental environment.
