EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. We know this sounds incredibly technical and complicated, but EMDR is actually an evidence-based approach that is incredibly effective with clients who are looking to heal from distressing experiences and memories. In fact, many clients find relief much quicker through EMDR than they do with traditional psychotherapy.

When clients are faced with challenging thoughts and behaviors, we like to work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. The premise of CBT is that your thoughts and your behaviors impact how you feel. When these thoughts/behaviors are unhelpful, you are not able to live your life to the fullest.

However, when you become aware of these unhelpful thoughts, you can begin to challenge them, recognize how they are impacting other areas of your life and use new skills and understanding to live more confidently and enjoyably.

With that being said, many find online therapy to be very effective and convenient. Many therapists have even begun to transition to fully online practices because online therapy can be so accessible, fulfilling and beneficial for both the therapist and the client.

Imagine having your therapy sessions right from your living room...or from your office...or pretty much anywhere else you can imagine…

...or being able to check in with your therapist in the middle of a stressful work trip...or when a crisis happens during a family vacation…

No matter where you are, your therapist is there for you.

These are questions many of us have no real answers to. We’ve been given a circumstance we have very little control over in the form of a worldwide pandemic: a situation that even those of us with high levels of anxiety and catastrophizing tendencies could not have prepared for.

We have been faced with this reality now more than ever: we are not fully in control. And that desire to control the uncontrollable is often what makes us feel anxious and overwhelmed.

You have experienced something that has negatively impacted your well-being. Maybe it was a one-time experience or maybe it has been recurrent, but the consequences have been long-lasting. Maybe the experience feels too big for you to overcome or maybe you feel it’s too small to be deserving of help, but if you have been negatively impacted, you should know that you can always ask for help.

When most people think of trauma, they think of significant and uncommon experiences: things like rape, a car accident, or domestic violence. And yes, those experiences are extremely traumatic, but trauma can occur in other less obvious ways as well. You can experience trauma from breakups, experiencing the loss of a loved one, inequality or exposure to violence.
