Take a moment and imagine a big, empty backpack. Consider how light this backpack might be if you picked it up and put it on. Now imagine filling that same backpack with one, two, or more heavy, jagged rocks. Think of each of those rocks as any painful, scary, or deeply impactful moment from your life that weighs you down and changes the way you see yourself and the world. 

 

If you have experienced one or more experiences like this in your lifetime, it can often feel like you are still carrying that giant, heavy backpack with you today wherever you go.

 

Whether you experience thoughts of defectiveness and not being good enough, feel that it is not okay to show your emotions, or have a sense that the world is not a safe place to be, our clinical approach of EMDR is proven to reduce pain and help you find relief fast by focusing on the root cause-the picture, thought and emotion connected to painful experiences.

 

We will help you incorporate positive thoughts around these incidents. You will work with your therapist in each session to learn concepts and resources that are easily incorporated to instill peace and safety and manage the tension that arises in your daily life. 

 

Using evidence-based approaches, you'll have the opportunity to heal and experience joy and satisfaction in life.
