🌸 Specialties We Offer

At Greenstone Counseling in Pocatello, we understand that every person’s path to healing is unique. That’s why our therapists use a variety of evidence-based, client-centered approaches to help you build resilience, find clarity, and move toward emotional wellness.

Our team provides a safe, supportive space where you can work through challenges, gain new perspectives, and develop lifelong coping skills.

Trauma Therapy

Healing from trauma takes courage—and professional support can make a meaningful difference. Our trauma-informed therapists create a safe and compassionate environment where you can process difficult experiences, rebuild trust, and reconnect with your sense of self. We use proven modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help reduce the emotional impact of past trauma and support lasting recovery.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

IFS Therapy helps clients explore their inner world with empathy and curiosity. By understanding and healing the different “parts” of yourself—such as those carrying pain, protection, or fear—you can move toward greater harmony and self-compassion. Many clients find this approach empowering for trauma, self-esteem, and relationship work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns that affect emotions and behavior. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or ADHD, CBT provides practical tools to reframe thinking, reduce stress, and improve daily functioning. Our therapists in Pocatello use CBT to help clients gain control over their thoughts and foster healthier coping strategies.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR is a structured, research-supported method that helps clients process and release traumatic memories. By engaging the brain’s natural healing processes, EMDR reduces emotional distress and supports a renewed sense of calm and control. Many clients find EMDR effective for healing from trauma, grief, and anxiety-related experiences.

Gottman Method for Couples

For couples seeking a stronger, healthier connection, the Gottman Method provides tools to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild emotional intimacy. Our therapists incorporate Gottman techniques to help couples foster understanding, trust, and lasting connection—whether you’re dating, engaged, or married.

Talk Therapy and Beyond

Sometimes, what you need most is a space to be heard. Traditional Talk Therapy allows you to share your experiences, explore your emotions, and gain new insights with a trusted therapist. At Greenstone Counseling, we integrate talk therapy with mindfulness, strengths-based approaches, and trauma-informed care to meet you where you are.
