What People Are Saying About Us
We Coordinate Coverage
Integrative Care for Trauma, PTSD, and Stress — For First Responders & Veterans
FlowState Therapy is a clinician-led, research-informed clinic offering evidence-based care. Our services include psychotherapy, neurofeedback, nervous system regulation, and medically supported treatments that safely access non-ordinary states of consciousness. These approaches are shown to promote neuroplasticity, deepen emotional processing, and support lasting change.
Evidence-based and medically supervised
Integrated across therapy and clinical care
Trauma-informed and designed with first responders and veterans in mind
How our integrative care works
1) Listen & map
We start by listening to your story, your service, your experiences. Then we map out what support might help most.
2) Co-create your plan
Together, we build a treatment plan that combines evidence-based therapy with the right tools for your needs.
3) Calibrate & support
We adjust as we go. You’re not locked into one path. Your healing plan evolves with you.
Note: Care is individualized. Experiences vary and no specific results are guaranteed. Please book a call with us to learn more.
