When things feel too big to hold alone.

At Imagine Recovery Counseling, we specialize in supporting individuals who are interested in greater emotional regulation, to help manage those moments when emotions come on fast and hard, feel impossible to manage, or leave you feeling numb, overwhelmed, or out of control.

Whether you’ve been labeled “too sensitive,” “too reactive,” or “too much,” we want you to know: your nervous system makes sense. Your emotions are trying to protect you, but they may need new tools, new pathways, and a different kind of care.

We help clients build skills to navigate:

• Distress tolerance: how to survive the storm without self-destructing

• Emotion dysregulation: intense mood swings, outbursts, or shutdowns

• Interpersonal effectiveness: managing boundaries, conflict, and connection

• Self-harm and suicidal ideation: with safety, compassion, and zero shame

You may feel stuck in cycles of:

• Escalating emotional pain

• Hurting yourself to cope or feel relief

• Struggling in relationships that leave you feeling unseen

• Feeling like no one “gets” the intensity of what you experience

• Being told to “calm down” when that feels impossible

We won’t ask you to be “less emotional.” We’ll help you understand what your body is trying to say, and support you in creating more capacity to ride the waves without going under.

Our clinicians are trained in approaches that support regulation from the inside out, including:

• EMDR

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills

• Somatic-Experiencing for grounding and containment

• Mindfulness and nervous system education

• IFS (parts work) to explore internal conflict and self-compassion

• Trauma-informed safety planning and self-harm alternatives

You don’t have to be in crisis to ask for help. And if you are in crisis, we’ll meet you there, with presence, without panic, and with respect for your autonomy and experience.
