About Us
Our Mission
Our Mission here at Spark Counseling & Wellness is to offer affordable and conveniently located treatment in a serene setting with evening and weekend sessions offered. Our therapists see individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents utilizing a variety of therapy approaches and specialties. We believe in the inherent wisdom in all of us that is capable of healing and moving forward in our lives no matter where we start. Our therapists meet our clients where they are and assist them on their journey into living their most abundant, coherent, energized, and embodied lives.
Therapy is not easily described, and varies depending on the personalities of the therapist, client, and the particular problems you bring forward. Many times, people seek therapeutic help because they have experienced some trauma or roadblock in their lives. We at The Grove believe that all people are born with an innate ability to heal, but sometimes we need help to get to that healing.
Therapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness and helplessness. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to lead to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience. Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, your therapist will be able to offer you some first impressions of what your work will include and a treatment plan to follow. If you decide to continue with therapy, you should evaluate this information along with your own opinions of whether you feel comfortable working with us.
Therapy Approaches at Spark Counseling & Wellness
At Spark, we believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. Each client comes with unique stories, strengths, and needs. That’s why our therapists draw from a wide range of evidence-based and integrative approaches, weaving them together in ways that feel safe, creative, and effective for you.
Here are some of the modalities we use and expand upon:
Somatic Therapies
We understand that trauma, stress, and emotions live not only in the mind, but also in the body. Somatic approaches help clients connect with physical sensations, regulate the nervous system, and release patterns of tension or overwhelm.
- Focus on body awareness and nervous system regulation
- Practices include grounding, breathwork, gentle movement, and trauma-informed touch awareness
- Helps restore a sense of safety and vitality in daily life
Creative & Expressive Arts Therapies
Sometimes words aren’t enough. Through art, movement, writing, and creative expression, clients can access deeper layers of healing and self-discovery.
- Encourages right-brain, intuitive processing
- Supports emotional release and meaning-making through creative channels
- Accessible to everyone—no artistic “skill” required, just curiosity
Trauma-Informed & Integrative Approaches
We specialize in trauma-informed care, drawing from multiple modalities to create a safe, personalized healing path.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
- IFS (Internal Family Systems) and parts work
- Attachment-based therapy
- Polyvagal-informed interventions
- Somatic Experiencing principles
Relational & Attachment-Based Counseling
Relationships—past and present—shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. We help clients explore attachment patterns, build secure connections, and create healthier relationships.
- Couples and family counseling
- Boundaries, communication, and conflict resolution
- Reparenting and healing early attachment wounds
Mindfulness & Embodied Practices
Mindfulness is more than a buzzword; it’s a way of cultivating presence and self-awareness. We integrate mindful and embodied practices to support emotional regulation and resilience.
- Meditation, visualization, and guided breathwork
- Practices to anchor clients in the present moment
- Tools for reducing anxiety, rumination, and stress
Professional Growth & Community
Healing expands beyond individual therapy. Spark also provides opportunities for clinicians and professionals to grow and connect.
- Clinical supervision and consultation
- Continuing education workshops (somatic, creative, and trauma-focused)
- Professional retreats and community building
Our Approach in Action
Most clients at Spark experience a blend of these therapies, tailored to their goals and paced with care. Whether you’re seeking support for trauma, navigating life transitions, strengthening relationships, or exploring creativity, we design a path that ignites healing and growth.
Our Values
What We Believe
Innate Capacity to Heal — We hold deep trust in the wisdom within every person. Sometimes life dims that spark—but healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
Embodied, Integrative, and Creative — Healing isn’t only cognitive; it’s lived, felt, and expressed. We weave together somatic practices, expressive arts, nervous-system attunement, mindfulness, and relational connection.
