Individual counseling provides a confidential and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a one-on-one setting with a trained therapist. Our experienced counselors work collaboratively with clients to address a wide range of issues, from managing stress and coping with life transitions to improving self-esteem and enhancing personal growth. Through empathetic listening, tailored interventions, and goal-oriented strategies, individual counseling aims to empower and equip clients to overcome challenges, gain insight into themselves, and live more fulfilling and authentic lives.

Couples counseling extends to all forms of partnerships, whether they are romantic couples or platonic connections such as siblings or friends. It serves as a safe haven for the strengthening of these bonds, nurturing healthier communication and understanding. Our counselors are here to facilitate honest and constructive dialogues, helping all parties navigate conflicts, resolve misunderstandings, and rediscover the shared values and connections that unite them. The purpose of couples counseling, in its broader sense, is to cultivate empathy, bridge gaps, and create a space where the beauty of your relationships can flourish, be they romantic or platonic. We are committed to supporting and guiding you on your journey towards more harmonious and meaningful connections with the people who matter most in your life.

A counseling intensive is an immersive and focused therapeutic experience designed to provide individuals or couples with concentrated support and healing over a relatively short period of time, typically spanning a few days to a week. During a counseling intensive, clients work closely with a dedicated therapist or a team of therapists to address specific concerns or challenges in a deep and comprehensive manner. This format allows for extended and uninterrupted therapeutic sessions, fostering a more immediate in-depth exploration of issues and the opportunity to address specific concerns and time to develop practical strategies for continued growth. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals or couples facing immediate or acute challenges, as well as those seeking a transformative experience or looking to accelerate their therapeutic journey.

Counseling Intensives at Peak One Counseling are currently conducted in the Dallas office and are tailored specifically to a client’s needs. The process starts with a short interview to determine the most beneficial approach and if an intensive is the appropriate support for a client’s needs and goals. Intensives are not a substitute for residential treatment and are not appropriate for those clients needing a higher level of care.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals process distressing memories and traumatic experiences. Through a structured approach involving bilateral stimulation, typically in the form of eye movements, auditory tones, or tactile sensations, clients are guided to access and reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled manner. This process facilitates the integration of traumatic memories with more adaptive information, leading to a reduction in distressing symptoms and the promotion of emotional healing and resilience. EMDR therapy is evidence-based and has been shown to be effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as other trauma-related conditions.

Available for both individual and couple's sessions, our team at Peak One Counseling is committed to our own spiritual lives and is open to incorporating faith into sessions as desired by our clients. Rooted in the Christian tradition and worldview, we respect each person's unique beliefs and do not counsel towards adopting our own religious or spiritual views. Instead, we provide a sacred space for individuals to explore, deepen, and find solace in their connection to their beliefs and values. Our faith-informed sessions aim to nurture the spiritual side of our client's lives, offering compassionate and non-judgmental support as they navigate questions, seek meaning, and integrate their spiritual beliefs into their daily life. Our goal is to empower individuals to align their inner beliefs with their outward actions, fostering a sense of spiritual harmony, purpose, and fulfillment as they seek connection with God.

‍

For clients who identify specifically as Christian and desire faith to be incorporated in their sessions, we have therapists specifically trained to integrate biblical wisdom and psychological insight to help clients find healing, restoration, and growth in alignment with their faith journey.

Enneagram-informed therapy utilizes the rich wisdom of the Enneagram system to enhance the therapeutic process. By understanding clients' Enneagram types and associated patterns, therapists can tailor interventions and strategies that resonate with their clients' individual needs and motivations. Enneagram-informed therapy empowers clients to explore their inner world with deeper self-awareness and gain insight into why they do what they do. As the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are better understood the therapist helps to assist clients in finding strategies to relax these automatic habitual patterns. This approach not only promotes self-awareness but also facilitates transformative change, fostering greater resilience, emotional well-being, and healthier relationships.

An Enneagram Typing Interview at Peak One Counseling is a structured and insightful conversation between an individual and a Certified Narrative Enneagram Practitioner.* Through this collaborative exploration, the Enneagram Typing Interview aims to facilitate the individual's personal discovery process rather than solely revealing their core Enneagram type.  During the interview, the practitioner will ask a series of open-ended questions designed to uncover the individual's core drives and motivations. These questions often explore various life experiences, values, and reactions to stress or conflict. Through this process of inquiry and self-reflection, individuals gain clarity and insight and will narrow down their dominant Enneagram type, enabling them to embark on a journey of self-awareness and personal growth using the tool of the Enneagram.

An Enneagram Typing Interview is for informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of therapy or other professional health care service and no therapist/patient relationship is formed.
