Therapeutic Modalities and Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT)
Trauma and anxiety leaves you with extremely negative beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. Through CBT we’ll be able to identify, assess, and modify negative perceptions and actions that make you experience unnecessary distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR therapy will help desensitize trauma memories by having you recall your experience(s). As you focus on the memories and thoughts associated with them, you’ll be assisted in reprocessing, using bilateral stimulation, to help the experiences lose their emotional charge.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy
As an individual with anxiety/OCD, ERP therapy is designed to gradually expose you to situations designed to provoke your obsessions in a safe environment, and can free you from the cycle of obsession and compulsion. It also provides you with coping skills for when a triggering situation presents itself.
Expert Testimony
As a qualified expert for the U.S. government, Rachel brings a wealth of knowledge and credibility to cases requiring specialized psychological insight. Her testimony is grounded in current research, extensive field experience, and a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding crimes against children. Rachel's testimony can provide clarity and context in complex cases, helping judges and juries understand the psychological aspects of crimes against children. Her expertise is invaluable in cases where understanding a child's behavior, memory, or testimony is crucial to the proceedings.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Through trauma-focused therapies, we work with you to help you understand how the traumatic experience impacts your mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. We offer skills and strategies to assist you in coping with and processing the memories.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful, skills-based approach that helps you navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence. Developed to treat complex emotional issues, DBT equips you with practical tools to manage intense emotions, improve relationships and decrease symptoms.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is a journey of growth and understanding for partners who want to strengthen their relationship or who are navigating next steps. In a supportive and non-judgmental environment, you'll work with one of our therapists to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen your connection. Whether you're facing specific issues like trust concerns, intimacy problems, or recurring conflicts, or simply wanting to enrich an already good relationship, couples therapy provides valuable tools and insights.
First Responder Wellness Checks
Beyond the Storm Behavioral Health can partner with your agency to provide these services to your department. Some of our clinicians have backgrounds with the FBI and EMS or have family members part of the first responder family, so we possess the cultural competence to work alongside first responder populations.

Our approach to treatment is rooted in evidence-based practices, drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities. We utilize proven techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is employed to address obsessive-compulsive behaviors, while Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) equips individuals with skills to manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. We also recognize the importance of Attachment-Based Therapies to heal early relational wounds, and Choice Therapy to empower individuals to take ownership of their decisions and create meaningful change.
