Trauma &EMDR Therapy in NY
Available Online in Rhode Island
and Massachusetts
You feel like you’re never “enough.” At the end of the day, you just want to shut down. You feel restless and can’t seem to relax. You want connection but you’re so exhausted. You doubt yourself even though you’ve accomplished so much. You’ve got a shelf full of self help books that you keep meaning to read.
Sound familiar? You are not alone.
Sometimes we get locked into patterns that don’t work for us anymore. EMDR helps get you unstuck so you can feel more joy and connection in life. Nothing is off limits, but here are some of the topics I hear a lot about:
Anxiety
Perfectionism
Relationships/Intimacy
Trauma or distressing life events
Concerns about substance use (yours or someone you care about)
You are doing the best you can. I truly believe that.
Therapy is not about diving headfirst into the deep end of your pain and suffering. I’ll ask you some questions so I can really understand what you’ve been through and where you are now. Then we’ll make a plan to help you get to where you want to go! We’ll set goals that feel right for you. We’ll check in each session on how we are doing.
