Discover the Strength that is already within you!

Welcome

Have past experiences left you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Do you find it difficult to maintain healthy relationships, set boundaries, or show yourself the compassion you deserve? If you’re constantly replaying critical calls, devastating events, or stressful situations and struggling to move forward, you're not alone. We understand that life experiences can deeply impact your sense of self-worth, emotional well-being, and your ability to feel grounded, present, and safe in the world.

At Second Wind Counseling, we understand the weight of these challenges, especially for military personnel, first responders, and their spouses and significant others. The demands of these careers can take a toll on your mental health and personal life. That’s why we are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive space where healing is not only possible, but achievable.

Healing is Possible!

​​

And life doesn’t have to feel this way forever.

 

Our experienced clinicians specialize in Brainspotting and EMDR therapy, both of which have proven to be powerful tools in overcoming trauma, anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and intrusive thoughts. We have seen clients—whether in high-stress professions or navigating everyday life struggles—achieve deep, lasting healing. Our goal is to help you release the grip of past trauma, manage triggers, and transform your emotional responses into strengths.

While we are passionate about supporting first responders, military members, and their loved ones, we also provide support for non-military and non-first responder clients. No matter your background, we are here to help you reclaim your peace, build resilience, and find the clarity you need to move forward.

You don’t have to do this alone. Contact us today and take the first step toward a future filled with hope, growth, and transformation.

Healing is a process worth the  Journey!
