Bridge To Relationship
A therapeutic bridge to healing, improved relationships, and how you want to be.
My Approach
I am passionate about relationships and helping people heal and improve their most important relationships: including with their partners, their children/parents, and themselves. I provide another set of eyes and an array of tools to help you uncover your blindspots, find the courage to change, heal trauma and old wounds that are limiting you, and improve your relationships. I employ various integrative therapeutic modalities and techniques such as CBT, EMDR, Rapid Trauma Processing, somatic, mindfulness, and more.
I am also certified in Ketamine Assisted Therapy and Rapid Trauma Processing (akin to Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These treatments offer revolutionary, profound, deep, highly effective, and quick efficient healing / resolution.
Additionally, I have training and experience in Trauma Informed Parenting, Developmental Trauma, Mediation, the Nurtured Heart Approach, and more.
About me
Bridget Saladino, LPC, MDiv., AT, PAT,
Graduated 2008
As a parent, a partner, a successful entrepreneur/business owner, a holder of four degrees, and decades of life experience, I bring a deep wealth of knowledge and intuition to our time together.
1.
We all experience trauma, grief, and loss, and we're all on some mental health spectrum. Healing is possible. You deserve to be heard and seen.
This is your time, one of your safest spaces, with no judgment. Some people prefer an active/directive approach and others prefer a softer/passive approach. I will use my intuition and open communication to tailor my approach to meet your needs.
2.
Relationships are a complex and captivating dance, and sometimes we just keep stepping on each other’s toes. Your primary relationship has broken down and the damage accruing in the wake is heartbreaking. What changed, why, and is it even worth it anymore? What are the patterns you might be blind to? Why do other couples seem so in sync? We will focus on various practices and building trust to get you back to that beautiful dance.
3.
First of all, you are already doing better than you think!
Are you filled with worry, misery, and doubts (WMDs)? Is your child out of control or struggling with self-esteem, academics, siblings, house rules? Have you read the books and tried the things and issues are not getting better, in fact, are they getting worse the harder you try?! Let's dive into strategies that can transform your child and yourself.
4.
It shouldn't take years, or even months, to heal from trauma. What if you just can't, or don't want to, talk about it?
Rapid Trauma Processing is the latest iteration of EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Research shows total resolution in an average of 2.5 sessions. The best part? You don't have to disclose or talk about what you are processing. It also works with phobias. It's just neuroscience put to use to heal the mind. Simple and profoundly healing.
5.
Many say that psychedelic assisted therapy is like "10 years of therapy in one session."
The medicine helps to pull back the layers of protection or masks that we all need and develop through life and hard times. Under these masks/layers is an internal healer or true self who knows better than any therapist in the world exactly what you need to heal.
Used around the world for many decades/generations, psychedelic medicines and plants, along with therapeutic integration, have extraordinary power to awaken, transform, inform, and heal.
