TRAUMA THERAPY
We offer the most progressive and cutting-edge trauma therapies that work very rapidly and effectively - Brainspotting and EMDR, (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
We call these phenomenal therapies “emotional healing on warp speed.” Our goal is to allow you to reprocess your trauma(s) so that you can be free from negative beliefs, physiological distress and psychological pain as quickly as possible.
BRAINSPOTTING
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional and physical pain, and unhealthy coping mechanisms associated with PTSD. It allows the client to channel the healthy "head" knowledge they possess to transform debilitating traumatic memories and the negative beliefs they feel in relation to the incident.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. It is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To date, EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress. If you are new to EMDR therapy, the links below can provide some additional insight.
EMDR
The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and our perceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will present it's bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth." - Alice Miller
