ABOUT CENTER FOR EMDR AND TRAUMA THERAPY
A PLACE FOR HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION.
Are you ready to move beyond the hurt?
The Center for EMDR and Trauma Therapy is a partnership of clinicians who all operate from a trauma-informed model of care. This means that we view our clients as more than just their diagnosis. All of the challenges and symptoms that our clients come to us with are viewed through the lens of their previous experiences and how those have shaped them into who they are now.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
COMPASSION
When you meet with your therapist you can rest assured that there will be no judgment. We’ll meet you wherever you are on your journey with expertise, empathy, & understanding.
SAFETY
We are here, first & foremost, to offer a safe space where you are in control. Your therapist will never push you to a place you don’t feel ready.
PRIVACY
We understand that these are not easy things to talk about. In fact, they may be things you’ve never told anyone before. Your privacy is our top priority. We have taken extra measures, including making sure that all of our walls are sound-proofed and white noise machines are placed throughout the building.
Trauma-Informed
“Trauma-Informed” aren’t just words that we say. It’s the very foundation of care for each person that we work with. Viewing things through a trauma-informed lens means that a person is met exactly where they are at, with care and understanding, and that they are seen as more than the sum of their parts.
What it’s like to work with us
From your very first contact with us, to the time you walk through our doors, our goal is always to create an atmosphere that is warm, safe, inclusive, and inviting.
The initial intake session will focus around getting to know you as a person, ensuring that the relationship feels like a good fit for both client and therapist, and identifying what goals you have for your time in therapy.
We take an integrated approach to using EMDR. This means that we use it as one tool in our toolbox, along with talk therapy and other forms of therapy that will be useful, depending on what your goals are.
Our support doesn’t stop in the therapy room.
We understand that there may be a need for additional support or resources beyond just therapy. Our team is happy to coordinate with other providers (including psychiatrists and physicians). Reach out to us to learn more.
