Formation Counseling Center (FCC) is a trauma-informed counseling practice grounded in the understanding that all of us experience loss, harm, or violation—and these experiences shape how we cope, relate, and move through the world.
  • Are you experiencing disordered eating, unwanted sexual behaviors, anxiety, depression, anger, or substance use?
  • Do you feel an internal pain that’s difficult to name, or a growing sense of frustration or hopelessness?

We believe healing and transformation are possible. Change is a process, not an event, and research consistently shows that the right therapeutic fit is one of the most important factors in meaningful, lasting growth.
 Our Clinical Approach
FCC takes a developmental and holistic approach grounded in:
  • Depth psychology
  • Attachment theory
  • Interpersonal neurobiology
  • Narrative therapy
Our clinicians integrate evidence-based and experiential interventions as appropriate, including:
  • EMDR
  • Somatic interventions
  • Mindfulness-based practices
  • American Sign Language
  • DBT and CBT
  • Art-based and experiential therapies
  • Psychodrama groups

Care is individualized, trauma-informed, and paced to support safety, regulation, and sustainable change.
