EMDR
I use EMDR to create opportunities for information that might have gotten stuck to begin to move forward. You will remember the material/memories, but they won't be as disturbing. Our sessions will focus on targeting these memories; and in addition, talk therapy in between sessions to process progress and other urgent life issues as they emerge.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a skills based treatment where the end goal is to modify behavior you believe is problematic in your life; I'd do this by applying a combination of validation and problem-solving.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Are you looking back in the past at decisions you cannot change? Are you anxiously awaiting a future event, which may or may not happen? Mindfulness is an intentional practice which focuses on all that we have at any given point in time: the present. You’ll learn strategies that help you increase focus and concentration and reduce looking back or looking forward; that help you feel centered, grounded, calmed, and relaxed. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction can be combined with any other methods of treatment I use or as a standalone practice.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, then using that knowledge to interrupt negative patterns with coping skills, techniques, and strategies to achieve your goals
