EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a safe and powerful therapy that helps individuals heal from trauma and distressing experiences. It offers relief from long-lasting symptoms.

Research, including over 30 controlled studies, shows EMDR's effectiveness. For example, 77% of combat veterans were free from PTSD after 12 sessions. Recognized by organizations like the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization, EMDR is a proven trauma treatment.

EMDR involves an eight-phase plan using eye movements to process memories, similar to how REM sleep helps us process daily events. It transforms the emotional impact of painful experiences into healthier beliefs.

In addition to treating PTSD, EMDR helps with issues like low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, and negative beliefs.

Eating disorders are serious conditions that can make someone feel isolated and hopeless. They disrupt eating behaviors and thoughts, significantly affecting physical, psychological, and social well-being. Common types include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, affecting up to 5% of the population, often starting in adolescence but possible at any age and for any gender.

These disorders are linked to obsessions with food, weight, or body shape, and anxiety about eating. Behaviors can become compulsive and often co-occur with other mental health issues like mood and anxiety disorders.

Genetics can increase the risk, but eating disorders can affect anyone. Treatment should address psychological, behavioral, nutritional, and medical aspects. Recovery is possible with proper care. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, I encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation. Recovery is possible!

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, affects the brain's ability to focus and complete tasks. Symptoms often include difficulties with impulse control, concentration, and organization. ADHD impacts about 11% of children and nearly 5% of adults in the U.S.

The exact causes are not fully understood, but genetics play a significant role, and some research suggests links to certain chemical exposures. ADHD is a biological, brain-based disorder, not caused by factors like parenting, sugar consumption, or video games.

Diagnosis typically starts with a primary-care physician and a referral to a trained therapist for a comprehensive evaluation. This involves medical history, rating surveys, and sometimes neuropsychological testing. For children, one parent is required to be present, and adults may benefit from having a supportive companion during the evaluation.

If you're ready to understand and manage ADHD, schedule a free consultation to discuss your needs.
