This leads to burn out, stress, and guilt whenever you stop the protective but self-dismissing behavior. If you'd like help with this, listen in!

WORK WITH ME!

MICHELLE CROYLE, LPC

If you are a Christian woman who feels ready for deeper, focused trauma healing than typical weekly talk therapy can offer, you may want to consider an EMDR-based Therapeutic Intensive with me. I clear my schedule to work with you over the course of one to three days for three to six hours per day on a focus target of your choosing. Intensives are designed to support meaningful change in the way the nervous system feels safest, not rushed into an hour here and there. Ready for deeper healing?
