Practice Description
Paul Hoskins counseling offers a range of therapy services including, couple/marriage counseling, premarital counseling, individual therapy and family therapy services. As a therapist, I work with families, couples, and individuals who struggle with a wide range of concerns and problems some include: depression, anxiety, struggles coping with trauma, parenting problems, marital or relationship difficulties, life adjustment problems, anger management difficulties, and other mental health issues.I have had training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Polyvagal Theory. I tend to mostly use Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy in my practice. I have found, and this is supported by research, that EFT is generally an effective approach when working with couples. I have found EFT to be an effective model in helping couples, individuals and family members work through and communicate their feelings and patterns of behavior in areas where they had previously felt stuck. I am also certified to administer the Safe and Sound Protocol an acoustic treatment designed to soothe our nervous systems based upon Polyvagal theory and developed by neuroscientist Stephen Porges. To help my clients reach their therapy goals I will sometimes draw from other therapy models such as the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Mindfulness philosophy and strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy as well as behavioral strategies.
