Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.

Many of my clients have experienced previous life experiences that were difficult and still cause problems in their everyday life. The clients I work with may seek to work through those experiences to reduce their symptoms or even make sense of those moments. Many of the children I work with are struggling with behaviors that are hard for adults to understand and parents who just want to help their children feel better.

Relationships never start off difficult. Most of the time we begin hopeful and excited. Because of our own expectations, experience, hurts and what some might call "baggage", things can get messy. Research tells us that most people wait 6 years to seek therapy from when their relationship begins being difficult, this can make navigating a way out very difficult because wounds have compounded. I am skilled at helping you sort that out and rebuild your relationship.

We may fear quiet moments alone and may desperately try to distract ourselves from the pain. Traumatic experiences can cause lead to poor self-worth, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. etc. It is a privilege to help people break free from these things.
