At POM, we specialize in behavioral health services for children and adolescents, with a strong focus on trauma-related issues. We extend our care to adult first responders, military personnel, and law enforcement officers. We center our care on the relational and interpersonal connection.
We recognize that trauma affects how people relate to the world, to others, and to themselves. That’s why our work is rooted in a relational approach where individuals are not treated as cases, but as people. We meet each individual with curiosity, respect, and a commitment to understanding their unique story.
We offer:
Our team is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and deeply committed to social justice. We understand that healing involves more than therapy it requires recognizing and addressing the effects of systemic inequities and marginalization. At POM, you’re not invisible you’re visible.
Here at POM our approach is evidenced-based. Evidenced-based means treatment modalities, that have successfully passed clinical trials, backed by science, are often federally supported and effectively improve a range of emotional and behavioral presentation. Examples of our most frequently used evidenced-based modalities are:
EMDR: Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an enhanced therapy model that desensitizes distressing events or negative self-beliefs through work with negative memories. It by- passes traditional talk-therapy approach and brings relief through a memory a processing protocol that facilitated by an EMDR-certified practitioner. Core components of this modality are: soothe/safety, memory, bi-lateral stimulation and enhancing core-self beliefs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGYxH8_SISE
TF-CBT: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy is a short-term eight-step treatment course for children ages 5-18 who have been impacted by trauma. It aims to both process and desensitize child to the traumatic event so that they are no longer distressed by it, rather aware, integrated and released of their negative cognitions. Core components of the model are: Education, soothe, process, and parent-skills. https://www.tfcbt.org/
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapy is a classic and common insight-oriented modality that promotes symptoms reduction through building a therapeutic relationship, gaining an understanding of self and facing painful feelings. Core components of this modality are: challenging distorted thinking, deconstructing negative experiences, education of basic emotional functioning and shifting your narrative from a self-destructive to self-liberating.
