Services
Initial Appointment
The first session lasts about an hour, and afterward, you and your therapist will make a plan for future meetings. Your therapist will ask you why you sought therapy, your personal history and current situation, and your past and current symptoms. The goal is to develop a greater understanding of what you hope to achieve from therapy. It is also an opportunity to make sure you are comfortable with your therapist, and it is a good fit.
Individual Therapy
Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes based on clinical need.
Couples Therapy
Sessions typically last 60 minutes based on clinical need.

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. It is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process.
For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies. A typical EMDR therapy session lasts 60 minutes. EMDR therapy may be used within a standard talking therapy, as an adjunctive therapy with a separate therapist, or as a treatment all by itself.
Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes, showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, 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).
EMDR is helpful for post-traumatic conditions as well as somatic disorders, chronic pain, flashbacks, nightmares, negative sense of self and self-esteem issues, anxiety disorders, including panic disorders and phobias, and depression.
