EMDR (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing) I also offer EMDR [click for more info & video links] when appropriate to help clients let go of disturbing or even niggling emotional events/memories which are loaded with negative beliefs (e.g., I am worthless, I dont matter, etc.). When past baggage is fully processed and cleared, then there is less to taint ones self-esteem and to hinder positive movement towards goals. Ive witnessed some lovely transformations! EMDR is an effective & efficient psychotherapy and can be applied to these therapeutic targets: negative beliefs (e.g., Im not good enough. Its my fault.) what keeps bothering you? {intrusive, persistent memories} certain situations (e.g., holidays, flying, social outings) perpetrators (e.g., Uncle Bob, swim coach) certain event/age (e.g., age 10 (divorce, moved, sad) anxiety, anger, addiction, grief Fees Rates as of February 18, 2020 $110 for 50-minute session.
