EMDR is a structured and guided trauma therapy that helps your brain process experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck,” even when you know logically that they are in the past.

Using guided eye movements, or other forms of back-and-forth stimulation, we work with those memories at a pace that feels manageable, so they can start to feel less intense and less present in your everyday life.

Many people also find that EMDR can work relatively efficiently, with some clients experiencing meaningful change in as few as 6–12 sessions. However, the number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the complexity of the trauma history.

EMDR in our practice integrates both somatic therapy and attachment-focused work:

• Somatic focus: Attention is given to how experiences are held in the body, including physical sensations, tension, and nervous system responses. This supports regulation and helps the body release stored stress.

• Attachment focus: We explore how early relationships and relational experiences shape current patterns, including beliefs about safety, trust, and self-worth. EMDR can help shift these patterns toward greater security and stability.

This integrative approach allows for deeper, more comprehensive healing.

EFT is a structured and deeply experiential therapy. Sessions often focus on present-moment emotional experiences rather than just discussion or analysis. EFT helps individuals and couples understand, process, and transform emotional patterns that impact relationships and well-being.

At its core, EFT focuses on:

• Transform emotional patterns so that individuals feel more secure, understood, and connected, both within themselves and in their relationships.

• Identify the negative emotional cycles that keep people stuck, and understand the deeper needs underneath.

• Help you access and express underlying emotions in a way that creates new emotional experiences, which often leads to greater trust, responsiveness, and closeness in relationships.

DBT is an structured and evidence-based psychotherapy method that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness (being in the present) to help people regulate intense emotions, reduce impulsive or self-destructive behaviors, and improve their relationships.

At its core, DBT teaches the philosophy of “dialectics” - two opposing thoughts can be true at the same time. My favorite one is that “self-acceptance” and “change” can happen at the same time.

• Improved ability to cope with stress and crisis

• Stronger communication and healthier boundaries in relationships

• Increased self-awareness and sense of control over your emotions, behaviors, and thoughts

Rather than focusing only on insight, DBT emphasizes skill-building and real-life application. You don’t just talk about problems, you will learn how to respond differently in real-life situations.
