Treatment methods
EMDR
Eight-phase structured trauma therapy that uses bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing memories by pairing sensory input with activated trauma material until emotional charge reduces. The protocol moves from history-taking and stabilization through active desensitization and into closure and reevaluation, with pacing and resourcing as critical clinical levers especially in complex cases. EMDRIA Certified.
Strength-Based

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Target the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce psychological distress. Using techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments.
Couples Counseling
