Once we talk and you're on my schedule, you will receive an email with a link to some forms you'll need to fill out prior to your first session. You will also be emailed a link that you can use to join your therapy session at the time of your scheduled appointment.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a trauma-focused therapy that helps you process painful memories in a way that feels less overwhelming. During sessions, we use guided bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, while you focus on what feels stuck, so your nervous system can begin to settle.

Trauma therapy is a specialized approach to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. At Stellar Counseling, I use techniques like EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support your journey toward healing and empowerment.
