Learn More About: EMDR Therapy
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and is used to help people process and reduce the effects of trauma. EMDR works by having the patient focus on a target memory while the therapist guides them through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, which can help the patient to reprocess the trauma in a healthier way. EMDR is most effective with people who have experienced significant trauma, such as combat veterans, victims of abuse, or those who have experienced single-incident trauma such as a car accident or natural disasters.
Learn More About: Play Therapy
​Play Therapy uses play and creative activities to help individuals express themselves, work through difficult emotions, build self-esteem, gain a better understanding of themselves, and learn problem-solving skills. It works best for children aged 3-12 and is especially beneficial for those who have experienced trauma, are struggling with emotional regulation, or have difficulty communicating through talk therapy. It is a gentle and non-intrusive approach that works best for younger children, as it allows them to communicate and process their emotions in a safe, comfortable environment.
