EMDR Therapy and Therapist Qualifications:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic technique that has been utilized since the 1990s.
- EMDR Therapists have varied levels of expertise. In order of least to most training, these range from EMDR trained, to EMDR Certified, to EMDR Consultant-in-Training, up to EMDR Approved Consultant and/or EMDR Training Provider.
- I am a Certified EMDR Therapist.
- I utilize EMDR to assist clients in reducing emotional disturbances that may be based on unprocessed memories from their past.
- Clients interested in EMDR services will receive an assessment to determine appropriateness for this type of treatment. Several sessions will follow to establish coping skills and historical data to utilize in the treatment process.
- Clients receiving EMDR meet with me on a weekly basis once EMDR sessions have begun.
- EMDR treatment often requires fewer sessions than traditional "talk therapy".
