Amethyst takes an evidence based, solution focused approach that emphasizes safety, healing and building practical coping skills in a supportive and affirming environment.
Trauma Focused Therapy
Amethyst specializes in trauma informed care, with a strong focus on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy for clients managing PTSD and anxiety, depression and the lasting effects of trauma. The center’s clinicians use evidence based techniques to help clients process difficult memories, reduce triggers and regain a sense of control.
In sessions, clients work through traumatic experiences using structured EMDR protocols and trauma focused interventions that address root causes while building day to day resilience.
Reviews highlight significant improvements in PTSD symptoms and trigger management, with clients praising the empathy, professionalism and life changing coping skills they gained through treatment.

Amethyst offers state certified domestic violence assessments and treatment for both survivors and individuals who have used violence. Specialized accountability groups include the Men’s Peace Keepers Group, Women’s Restoration Empowerment Group and a Women Empowering Women support group integrating multimedia and meditation for female identified trauma survivors.
