Allen Sidwell
I have seen the benefits of EMDR Therapy and I understand the power of the subconscious mind to hold on to past trauma and difficult life experiences. I use EMDR therapy to help my clients process and fully release past trauma. I have worked in clinical settings helping clients with drug and alcohol dependency, grief and loss, PTSD, career counseling, and employee assistance. My clients say that I have a great capacity for empathy and to really care about them.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective and well-researched therapy approach used to address the painful effects of trauma and a variety of other psychological issues. Twenty-Six research studies have found EMDR Therapy to be more effective than traditional talk therapy. When a disturbing psychological event occurs, the brain is often unable to process the experience as it normally would. Instead, the traumatic event can get stuck in the brain in the form that it was originally experienced.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe that every person has the right to live a happy and healthy life. I even wrote a book called Eight Principles For A Happy Life. I think that we all have a place in this work to share our talents. I enjoy helping my clients discover their passion and gifts for living a fun and happy life. I respect and embrace all people and their values and personal beliefs. I hope that in the future, schools for mental health providers will embrace the healing power of the subconscious mind. As human beings, we store our past trauma and our present-day beliefs in the subconscious. Most therapists just talk about stuff. This is helpful to an extent, but there are great limitations in talk therapy.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are motivated to heal, grow and get back to a healthy and happy life.
