Trauma is a prevalent issue that affects many individuals, just like you. It can stem from various experiences, ranging from acute events to prolonged exposure to distressing situations. This trauma often manifests in persistent emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms that can significantly hinder one’s quality of life. The impact of such experiences can be deep-rooted, causing continuous discomfort and distress. Our qualified team specializes in EMDR, a specific therapy for addressing trauma. We offer a complimentary consultation to gauge your objectives and pair you with a trained EMDR therapist who aligns well with your needs.
Experiencing trauma or PTSD often manifests in two distinct ways: either through a state of emotional shutdown characterized by feelings of dissociation, sadness, loneliness, and numbness, or through heightened responses such as anger, panic, hypervigilance, mood swings, and mistrust. These reactions can have a profound impact on your life, potentially leading to depression, substance abuse, anxiety, addiction, and strained relationships.
Acknowledging that you’re facing these challenges can be daunting, and the instinct might be to simply endure or ‘power through’ these tough times. However, conventional coping mechanisms may not always yield the desired relief. This is where therapy come into play, offering a path to navigate and manage these intense emotions and physical sensations, empowering you to regain control of your life.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a well-established treatment that has been proven to effectively alleviate the symptoms of trauma. This innovative approach is recognized internationally and endorsed by numerous mental health organizations for its effectiveness in helping individuals overcome the lingering effects of traumatic experiences.

EMDR therapy provides a secure environment for you to explore and process your experiences in a manner that may have felt inaccessible previously. Our approach is empathetic, accessible, and free from judgment. While EMDR follows a structured framework, we tailor our approach to suit the individual needs of each client.
EMDR therapy is a structured eight-phase treatment that includes elements from various therapeutic approaches. It focuses on the client’s past, present, and future aspects of disturbing memories. The core of EMDR involves the client focusing on a traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements). This process facilitates the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their lingering effects significantly. Sessions typically last about 60-90 minutes, and the number of sessions varies depending on the individual’s needs.
