What is EMDR? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence based treatment which targets both our conscious and subconscious areas of the brain.
I utilize TheraTappers, which are small devices that produce gentle tactile bilateral stimulation. We may also use bilateral sounds, so we are not limited to only the visual route.
Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes, for disorders such as anxiety, depression, sleep distrubance, grief, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences (Maxfield, 2019). EMDR therapy has even been superior to Prozac in trauma treatment (Van der Kolk et al., 2007).
What is Walk and Talk therapy?
We take advantage of the stress relieving effects of bilateral movement through walking and also the benefits of fresh air while we work within your therapeutic goals.
What is energy psychology? Also called cognitive somatic therapy.
We acknowledge there is a connection between the body and the mind. By including the body in mental health treatment techniques, it helps to improve physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Emotional Freedom Technique is an evidence-based practice which reduces the stress response and allows us to change thinking patterns that could be barriers to our success. Veterans who experienced chronic pain and PTSD found that tapping and guided breathing were useful tools.
