Find safety through Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

Sometimes your body reacts before your mind understands why.
A tight chest. A sudden shutdown. A rush of tension that feels bigger than the moment. That’s your nervous system speaking, and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy helps you understand its language.

At CPJ Counseling Services, we use this approach to help you rebuild safety from the inside out.
You’ll learn to notice your body’s cues, respond with compassion, and move from survival to connection and calm.

Regulate, reconnect, and restore balance

When you’ve lived in stress or uncertainty for a long time, your body can start to believe it’s never safe to rest.
This therapy helps you retrain those responses, so you can feel grounded, clear, and connected again, not just in your mind, but in your whole being.

Through body-based awareness, gentle pacing, and collaborative care, we help you find the calm your body has been searching for.

You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re wired for protection — and that system can learn to rest.
