EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Diana is EMDRIA trained Level I and II and offers EMDR for individuals, teens and children. When trauma is a part of a client’s life, EMDR may be the approach for healing. EMDR has been one of the most highly researched methods for utilization in dealing with trauma.
The American Psychiatric Association and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies designate EMDR as an effective treatment for post traumatic stress. The US Department of Veteran Affairs also found EMDR an effective treatment protocol.
EMDR is a unique method which involves stimulating the brain to heal and reprogram trauma from the past into a new healed program. Individuals who treat with EMDR must be trained and must have a clinical health background. Some clients decide this is something they would like to try out.
Many clients come to Diana via a referral from a physician, school counselor or psychiatrist. Special care is taken to assess the appropriateness to determine whether EMDR is right for the client. To book an appointment for EMDR please contact Diana for a consultation.
