A place to settle, reorient, and move forward
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy with Alana Mrugala, LPC provides a supportive, collaborative space to address emotional distress, stress-related concerns, trauma, and life transitions. Therapy is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches that prioritize nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and practical skill-building
Sessions may focus on:
Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
Depression and mood concerns
Trauma and adverse experiences
Emotional regulation and nervous system stabilization
Life transitions and identity shifts
Relationship and attachment concerns
Treatment is tailored to each client’s needs and may include structured interventions, present-focused strategies, and deeper exploratory work as appropriate. Care is paced collaboratively, with attention to safety, readiness, and long-term sustainability.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) -Adjunctive
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is offered as an adjunctive, evidence-informed therapeutic approach within individual psychotherapy for appropriate clients. ART uses structured imagery and bilateral eye movements to support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and resolution of distressing experiences.
When clinically indicated, ART may be used to help clients:
Reduce distress associated with traumatic or adverse experiences
Process intrusive memories or images
Improve emotional regulation and stabilization
Support adaptive reprocessing while maintaining present-moment safety
ART is provided in a trauma-informed, consent-based manner and is integrated into a broader psychotherapy treatment plan. Sessions are paced collaboratively, with attention to readiness, stabilization, and client autonomy.
ART is not provided as a stand-alone service. Sessions are billed as individual psychotherapy and are not billed separately to insurance.
Brain-based Hypnotherapy -Adjunctive (coming soon!)
Integrative hypnotherapy is offered as a supportive clinical technique within psychotherapy for appropriate clients. This approach uses guided attention, focused awareness, and relaxation-based strategies to support emotional regulation, insight, and therapeutic progress.
When used, hypnotherapy is:
Integrated within an ongoing psychotherapy plan
Applied in a trauma-informed and consent-based manner
Focused on stabilization, resourcing, and adaptive coping
Used to support goals such as anxiety reduction, stress management, and emotional processing
Hypnotherapy is not a stand-alone service and is provided only when clinically indicated and aligned with the client’s treatment goals.
Sessions are billed as psychotherapy; hypnotherapy is not billed separately to insurance.
Same-Day & STABILIZATION sessions
Same-day and stabilization sessions are available for individuals experiencing acute stress, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty regulating in the moment. These sessions focus on immediate support, grounding, and practical strategies to help clients regain stability and determine next steps.
These sessions may include:
Emotional containment and grounding
Regulation-focused interventions
Brief assessment and treatment planning
Referral or follow-up recommendations
Same-day sessions are not crisis services but are designed to provide timely, supportive care during periods of heightened distress.
These services are based on therapist availability and not guaranteed daily.
Due to the immediate nature of this service, insurance may not reimburse you.
My approach integrates trauma-informed psychotherapy with nervous system-aware interventions that support regulation, flexibility, and resilience. Treatment emphasizes safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s pace. Techniques are selected based on clinical need and may include skills-based strategies, mindfulness-informed practices, and guided experiential work.
