EMDR

EMDR is Different than Traditional Talk Therapy: It does not require you to talk about difficult memories. It does not require willpower or trying to force yourself to change your thoughts. It focuses on healing from your past so that the relief you get is everlasting. EMDR Calms Your Nervous System Which: Relaxes your mind. When your mind is relaxed, you have less anxiety. Reduces depression by taking away the emotional pain stored in the mind & body.

I am EMDR trained and utilize this approach when treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and other related difficulties.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing through EMDRIA.

EMDR therapy provides a framework for safely and effectively diminishing the emotional and behavioral impact of traumatic events. We work with you to build your inner resources to address the traumatic material. Once these inner resources are established, we provide a therapeutic structure for you to process the hurt, fear, anger, or sadness and integrate more helpful ways of thinking about the past.

I am intensively trained (Level I, II, and III) in EMDR and Attachment focused EMDR. I have applied this model effectively for my clients to process traumatic memories and experiences throughout the lifespan, instill a sense of resilience, and integrate memories into a greater narrative and understanding of the self. With each client, we co-create an individualized plan that uses EMDR, DBT for trauma, CPT, Trauma Focused CBT, and ACT.

I have been providing EMDR since 1994 after attending trainings in Level I and Level II with the EMDR Institute in 1994 and 1995. I have also attended additional EMDR training since then. I use this approach often in my practice and it has allowed me to provide much of the psychotherapy I offer for clients with ptsd. I usually provide five to six sessions evaluating client history, self-care, any other counseling issues, and community support before beginning this work.

I am trained in EMDR and Flash Technique. Sometimes when we go through traumatic loss, we can get stuck. This is a therapeutic orientation that can assist in creating movement and helping us feel in a better mental and emotional state to move forward.

EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of trauma and disturbing life experiences. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.

EMDR is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. It does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue. EMDR allows the brain to resume its natural healing process.

EMDR is becoming widely used to treat trauma. This method helps the body reveal what has long since been hidden from our consciousness related to past trauma or painful events. This can keep us feeling stuck, anxious & depressed in a every day. Chronic overwhelming feelings often indicate the body is working hard to manage outward stress/experiences while managing inward fears from the past. It is possible to feel more safe & at ease in your body as well as move forward in your life.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) techniques, which allows me to provide basic EMDR services for phobias, self discovery, and trauma work via telehealth services.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences. It involves bilateral stimulation through eye movements, sounds, or taps while focusing on traumatic memories. This process aims to help the brain reprocess these memories in a way that reduces their negative impact and helps the individual develop more adaptive coping mechanisms.

I am certified in EMDR and receive ongoing training and consultation to treat single-incident trauma, intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. EMDR can also be used to treat substance dependence, compulsive behavior, and phobias.

EMDR is a treatment that has been researched extensively and has helped many people suffering from trauma. Even those who don't feel they have been through a major traumatic event, can benefit from processing difficult events and feelings with EMDR. It often leads to long-term relief from nightmares, unwanted memories, up and down emotions, and even depressed moods that stem from difficult life events.

If I had $1 for every time a new client told me they "don't think [they] have trauma" because "[their] life wasn't as bad as ______" or "[they] never experienced _______" then I could retire already. Honey, if you are Queer, you have almost certainly experienced complex trauma -- especially if you've lived in the South. Contorting yourself to prevent relational rejection is a survival mechanism. Even if you believe you have a place to belong authentically now, your brain may need convincing.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a type of treatment that can help a person address and move through trauma and/or incredibly difficult situations. This is done through identifying a person's natural resources to highlight the strengths they already have, engaging in some visualization exercises, and then processing memories while engaging in specific eye movements or tapping while being guided by the clinician.

I am trained in EMDR and find that this approach is very effective for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, as well as trauma. This approach can be very effective for clients that have difficulty with traditional talk therapy.
