In our first session together, here's what you can expect

EMDR with Dr. Black consists of the first few sessions as talk therapy, to establish rapport, goals, and review of psychosocial history. EMDR sessions are weekly for an hour. Some individuals experience relief after a few sessions of EMDR. While others may take months, depending on their particular concern.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Dr. Black has worked in the mental health field for over ten years. She has worked in a variety of settings such as: in-home; in the community; at an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP); and schools. Her background in these fields have given her a unique viewpoint. The Navy played a vital role in her life, therefore, she understands the military lifestyle. She provides a place of trust where her military families can express their thoughts and feelings unapologetically.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Dr. Black strives to promote positive social change through an unconditional positive regard lens. She has extensive experience in providing services to marginalized adolescents, their families and military personnel. Her passion lies in the development and the reintegration of positive and healthy lifestyles for individuals. She works with client's who have tried talked therapy with little progress or client's who are eager to get unstuck by engaging in EMDR.
