We serve individuals and couples navigating betrayal trauma, addiction recovery, relational pain, and unresolved trauma. Our trauma-informed, evidence-based approach prioritizes trust and emotional stability before deeper work begins. We approach each client with dignity and compassion. You are not a problem to be fixed, but a person with a story worth understanding. Through collaborative care and steady support, we help you move toward growth and restoration. ![Man smiling while standing outdoors with others in the background, appearing relaxed and connected in a natural setting associated with emotional well-being and community support.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Horizontal%20smiling%20outdoors%20with%20others.jpg)   ## Individual Counseling Individual counseling offers a confidential space to process your story, understand patterns, and move toward restoration. Many of our clients seek support for addiction recovery, trauma healing, relational pain, and personal growth. ![Older man seated indoors, looking ahead with a thoughtful expression in a quiet and supportive environment associated with individual counseling and emotional well-being.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Hero%20Image%20-%20man%20sitting%20reflectively%20on%20couch.jpg) #### Addiction Recovery We provide specialized support for individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors or pornography use. Therapy focuses on identifying underlying causes, building accountability structures, addressing relational impact, and developing long-term recovery tools that support lasting stability. **[Schedule](https://melissa-anderson6957.clientsecure.me/)** ![Couple walking arm in arm along a tree-lined path, smiling and talking in a relaxed outdoor setting associated with relationship support and connection.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Hero%20Image%20happy%20couple.jpg) #### Trauma Recovery Trauma can affect the nervous system, identity, relationships, and faith. We work gently and intentionally to help you regulate emotional responses, process painful experiences safely, and restore a sense of stability within yourself and your relationships. **[Schedule](https://melissa-anderson6957.clientsecure.me/)** ![Woman sitting by a window with eyes closed, appearing calm and reflective in a peaceful indoor setting associated with emotional well-being and personal growth.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Hero%20Image%20woman%20resting%20reflectively%20by%20a%20window.jpg) #### Personal Growth Not all counseling begins in crisis. Many clients seek therapy to develop greater emotional awareness, establish healthier boundaries, gain clarity during life transitions, and strengthen relational skills that support more confident and connected living. **[Schedule](https://melissa-anderson6957.clientsecure.me/)**   ## Couples & Relationship Counseling Relationship pain can feel isolating and overwhelming. We help couples move from confusion and conflict toward understanding and reconnection. ### Common Areas of Work ##### Infidelity & Betrayal Trauma Betrayal deeply disrupts trust and attachment. We provide disclosure preparation & processing when needed, and structured guidance for: - Stabilization after discovery - Trauma-informed care for the betrayed partner - Accountability and growth for the offending partner ##### Relationship Repair We help couples improve communication, rebuild emotional safety, address recurring patterns of conflict, and strengthen intimacy. Through steady, structured support, therapy focuses on restoring trust, deepening understanding, and creating healthier relational dynamics that foster lasting connection. **[Schedule a Session](https://melissa-anderson6957.clientsecure.me/)** ![Woman sitting on a couch, looking attentively toward another person during a counseling session in a calm and supportive indoor setting.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Vertical%20Images%20-%20Individual%20Engaged%20in%20Conversation%20During%20Counseling%20Session.jpg)   ### Couples Disclosure Intensives A Couples Disclosure Intensive is a structured, therapist-guided process designed to bring clarity, honesty, and understanding after betrayal. Through a carefully prepared and supported full disclosure, both partners are given the information they need to begin healing—without unnecessary harm or confusion. This approach is especially helpful for couples navigating infidelity, compulsive behaviors, or unresolved questions that make it difficult to move forward. **[Learn More About Disclosure Intensives](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/disclosure-intensive?hsLang=en)** ![Couple sitting side by side on a couch, looking ahead thoughtfully in a calm indoor setting associated with relationship counseling and emotional support.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Vertical%20Images%20-%20disconnected%20couple%20on%20couch.jpg)   ## Trauma Therapy ##### **Evidence-Based Treatment for Lasting Change** Trauma can affect more than memories. It can shape the nervous system, influence emotional responses, impact relationships, and alter how you experience safety in the world. Our therapy is designed to address these effects at both the cognitive and physiological levels. We utilize trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities that help the brain and body process experiences in a way that reduces long-term distress. ![Close-up of a person’s face with their hand raised in the foreground, showing a focused and attentive expression.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20emdr%20therapy.jpg) #### EMDR ##### (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) EMDR is a well-researched therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Through guided bilateral stimulation, clients are able to revisit difficult experiences in a structured and contained way, allowing the nervous system to integrate memories more adaptively and reduce triggers over time. ![Person seated on a couch with hands clasped, appearing thoughtful during a counseling session in a calm indoor setting.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20therapy%20session.jpg) #### ART ##### (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) ART is a structured trauma treatment that uses eye movements and imagery techniques to help reduce distress connected to traumatic memories. Many clients experience relief in fewer sessions compared to traditional talk therapy. ART works to change the way distressing memories are stored, helping them feel less intrusive and emotionally overwhelming.   ### Is Trauma Therapy Right for You? ##### Trauma therapy may be appropriate if you experience: - Intrusive or distressing memories - Emotional triggers or heightened reactivity - Anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance - Persistent shame connected to past events - Relational trauma or attachment wounds - Difficulty feeling safe, grounded, or regulated **[Ask About Trauma Therapy](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/contact?hsLang=en)** ![Woman sitting on a couch indoors, looking thoughtfully to the side in a peaceful home environment associated with individual counseling and emotional reflection.](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/hubfs/Olive%20%26%20Ash%20Vertical%20Individual%20Sitting%20Reflectively%20in%20a%20Calm%20Home%20Setting.jpg)   ## Session Pricing #### Individual Therapy 60-Minute Session ## $150 [Schedule](https://melissa-anderson6957.clientsecure.me/) Cash-Pay or Insurance 60-Minute Session #### Couples / Family 60-Minute Session ## $175 [Schedule](https://melissa-anderson6957.clientsecure.me/) Cash-Pay Only 60-Minute Session #### Intensives Starting at ## $1,400 [Request Info](https://www.oliveandashcounseling.com/contact?hsLang=en) Cash-Pay Only 4-Hour Intensive with Two Counselors $350 for Each Additional Hour ### Frequently Asked Questions - #### What is a disclosure intensive?
