EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy

Emily is an EMDR trained therapist.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is a research-based, structured therapy that encourages the client to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (which includes eye movements, tapping, or other stimulation).This allows traumatic memories to be stored in a healthier way in the brain, allowing for symptom reduction. EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.

Emotional Freedom Technique and Mindfulness Training

Emily is trained in Emotional Freedom Technique as well as other mindfulness skills that she uses in sessions and teaches clients to use at home.

What is Emotional Freedom Technique?

EFT is a form of self-applied, gentle acupressure ( no needles) which aids in relaxation. It helps a person move from functioning from the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, freeze, or foggy brain) to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest). This technique helps desensitize strong emotions and can be used to help clients find relief from phobias, stress, anxiety/social anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, acute stress reactions, and trauma.
