Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps you reprocess painful memories and experiences. EMDR regulates the nervous system and reshapes brain patterns so that what was previously triggering can be confronted without emotional spiraling.

EMDR can help balance your mood and make you feel much more at peace, as well as improve communication, boundaries, and relationships.

Many clients are surprised by how efficient and permanent the effect of EMDR is and how they go from feeling broken to feeling whole.

benefits:

Potentially lead to quicker symptom relief and emotional healing efficiently

Develop a more balanced and adaptive perspective, contributing to overall psychological well-being

Support the development of a more cohesive and positive sense of self

Contribute to a more robust and flexible emotional response in various life situations

Promote a more integrated and balanced body-mind experience

Pain Reprocessing Therapy

Pain reprocessing therapy is type of treatment that teaches the bodies of those in pain to interpret signals from a lens of safety, allowing in embodied feelings of joy and lightness.

It has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of chronic back pain, even rewiring brain networks involved in pain! 

The treatment depends heavily on pain education, cognitive techniques, attending to pain signals with a lens of safety, addressing other issues that impact pain, and attending to positive sensations.

It is important to note that PRT is not a cure for chronic pain, but it can be a helpful tool for managing pain and improving quality of life.

Clients that I work with often experience these changes (and more) in their lives as a result from therapy

Somatic therapy

Somatic therapy is a style of therapy that encourages clients to attune to their bodies as well as the events in their lives in order to feel safer in their own bodies.

It brings in techniques of grounding, mindfulness, and self- compassion. Cognitive therapist often are considered a “top down” approach, fostering effective thinking strategies, while EMDR and somatic therapies are considered a “bottom up” approach as they start with the physical sensations that are being experienced.

benefits:

Cultivates a deeper understanding of bodily sensations, emotions, and patterns of tension, leading to a stronger mind-body connection.

Effectively addresses trauma and its physical and emotional effects, helping to release stored trauma and promote healing.
