Gertie Breffle MA, LPC
Sessions with me take on a mentor, down to earth, gritty feel. I believe in the therapeutic relationship being a human to human relationship and within that context I facilitate the healing process within clients as a collaborative effort. My orientation is using the body’s and nervous system’s natural capacities for healing along with human relationship to engage in the healing process. Using techniques and practices from the latest trauma research as well as attachment frame working, I help clients learn to use body/mind practices as well as attachment work to heal and strengthen relationships with self and others, and to heal the nervous system in addressing concerns with trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationships. I use a combination of techniques and practices from the latest trauma researchers, as well as EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Multi-systemic Family Therapy, and mindfulness practices. I facilitate strengthening and healing relationships with self and others within the contexts of individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy.
