I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Waves of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.

May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.

May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.

The group practice I work with.

Welcome to Energy Matters!

We're so glad you're here.

Healing isn't just about talking - it's also about supporting the mind, body, and nervous system together.

Here Energy Matters, we provide therapy for adults, adolescents, children, and families, offering both in-person from one of our many locations and teletherapy options.

Our work integrates specialized approaches including EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, and somatic practices, along with many other traditional modalities.

We are here to offer a space that feels intentional, supportive, and human - because healing deserves care that meets you where you are.

3 SPOTS LEFT!

EMDR Basic Training is happening this summer, and if you've been on the fence, now is the time. This is an EMDRIA-approved training, which matters more than you might think.

EMDRIA sets the gold standard for EMDR education — your hours count, your certificate carries real weight, and you walk away actually ready to use this with clients.

Facilitating is our own Mohini Bolkhovitinov, LCSW — an EMDRIA-approved consultant, HAP volunteer, and trainer-in-training who is as immersed in this work as it gets. You're learning from someone who genuinely loves this modality and it shows.

Here's what's included:
20 hours didactic + 20 hours practicum + 10 hours consultation
50 hours total | 40 CEUs | Certificate upon completion

Part 1: June 26, 27 & 28, 2026
Part 2: Sept 11, 12 & 13, 2026

8:30 AM – 5 PM | Fully virtual | Both weekends required

$1,800 — and if you need a discount, just ask.
Seriously, reach out to Mohini and have that conversation.

Led by Laura Steele, LMFT, PsyD
Facilitated by Mohini Bolkhovitinov, LCSW

Don't wait on this one.
