Therapies I Use In My Counseling Practice

EMDR Therapy

​

If you have experienced difficult events in your life that you haven’t been able to move past, or that continue to impact you, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) might be appropriate for you . It can be effective in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, panic attacks, and PTSD among other challenges. It’s different from traditional talk therapy because it's not necessary to rehash the details of the traumatic experience. EMDR therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and skills building and preparation are necessary prior to trauma processing. It can be done easily during a virtual session. Check out my blog post on EMDR therapy for more information.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

​

Also know as ACT, this therapy focuses on increasing psychological flexibility. In short, it's learning new ways of being with our thoughts, feelings and sensations, in the moment without letting them dictate our behavior.

 

There is a strong focus on values (the things in life we find most meaningful) in this work.
