The paths we walk
Because every individual’s journey is unique, a tailored approach is beneficial. We utilize specialized, evidence-based therapies designed to regulate your nervous system, map your history, process your experiences, and help you forge the path to your future.
The trailhead
initial clinical intake & assessment
Before we walk into the woods, we must first meet at the trailhead. This comprehensive initial intake and assessment is the foundational starting point for all paths at The Birches Collective Wellness. During this session, we take the time to map the current landscape of your life, discuss your goals, and complete targeted assessments, ensuring we are the right clinical fit for your journey.
Whether your path will lead to the calming integration of The Clearing, the neurodivergent routine-building of The Wayfinder Approach, or our structured Trauma Groundwork sessions, every journey begins right here.
To ensure the highest standard of care and clinical safety, this is the only session available for new clients to book online. Once this foundational intake and assessment is complete, we will unlock the next steps of your specific trail together.

The clearing
Integration & person-centered therapy
At the foundation of our work is a deeply calming, empathy-driven approach rooted in person-centered therapy. These sessions focus on building practical nervous system regulation skills and providing a safe, grounded space to process your daily life. Using an eclectic, collaborative blend of therapeutic tools, we meet you exactly where you are in the woods to help you find stability and peace.

The Wayfinder
Solution-Focused ADHD & 2e Navigation
For our neurodivergent clients, our work is highly strengths-based and solution-focused. Together, we will gently analyze daily bottlenecks and learn your brain’s unique “operating system.” Our goal is to build practical routines that set you up for momentum and ease, fully honouring your natural wiring rather than fighting against it.

the deep woods
trauma assessment, stabilization, & reprocessing
Navigating the deep woods of past trauma can feel profoundly unsafe and isolating. You do not have to carry that heavy weight alone. My foundational approach to trauma care is anchored in deep empathy, holding a safe, steady space where you are seen and supported. We walk this trail entirely at your pace, never rushing.
trauma groundwork & stabilization
Because your physical and emotional safety is our highest priority, we never rush into the shadows. Your journey begins with foundational groundwork sessions. During these sessions we focus on a targeted clinical assessment, building a trusting therapeutic rapport, and practicing robust nervous system stabilization skills. We lay the essential groundwork so you feel completely secure, equipped, and anchored before we ever address the past.

When your nervous system feels secure and ready, we transition to one of two therapies to help process the past
Narrative exposure therapy
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a specialized, evidence-based treatment for complex trauma. Together, we safely map the timeline of your life, acknowledging the storms you have weathered, the joys you have experienced, and the profound resilience that carried you through.
We build a chronological narrative that honours your story, allowing you to leave this process with a written “Testimony.”
The Timeline for NET
NET is a highly structured, finite protocol, that maps an individuals life from pre-birth to present. Mapping a complete life narrative typically requires a dedicate commitment of 12 to 15 sessions, providing a clear beginning, middle, and end to this deep work.
90-Minute Session | $260
Each session includes extensive clinical narrative writing and formatting post session.
Accelerated resolution therapy
Trauma can leave physical and emotional shadows that interrupt your present life. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an advanced, structured therapy that uses eye movements to help your brain process traumatic memories safely and efficiently with the goal of reducing their impact on your present. We focus on processing the emotional and physical charge of the memory so your nervous system has a chance to regulate.
The Timeline for ART
The timeline for ART is highly flexible. Because it targets specific individual memories, the total number of sessions is based entirely on the specific events you choose to process. A single targeted memory can often be processed in just 1 to 3 sessions.
