EMDR

I specialize in Attachment-Focused EMDR, designed for healing trauma resulting from adverse childhood experiences – abuse, neglect, loss of loved ones, childhood illness and so on. If the past stayed in the past, we could just leave these behind and move on. But when we're under stress, the past can intrude into the present – as anxiety, depression, freezing, dissociation. These present-day experiences are our key to the healing process, and as they resolve, they're our best measure of success.

I am a member or EMDRIA and engage in continuous trainings and consultation groups related to EMDR. This practice brings fast and lasting results!

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is often very effective in counteracting distress caused by traumatic and otherwise upsetting life experiences; counteracting specific fears; and can be useful in reducing anxiety based addictive cravings. Dr. Brooks has been able to help many suffering people with EMDR therapy and would be delighted to help you feel better, more confident and remove flashbacks and triggers from unpleasant events.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to address both single-incident trauma and complex/developmental trauma. I incorporate principles of Polyvagal Theory and Attachment Theory in this process to help people's nervous systems more easily achieve regulation and a sense of safety.

EMDR therapy is effective at freeing us from limiting beliefs and distressing memories that keep us stuck, avoiding, or disconnecting. Are you ready to reclaim your past? On your terms? To offer yourself compassion, understanding, and to free yourself, so you can feel more connected, more certain, more at ease? Contact me for a 15-minute phone consultation.

EMDR is becoming widely used to treat trauma. This method helps the body reveal what has long since been hidden from our consciousness related to past trauma or painful events. This can keep us feeling stuck, anxious & depressed in a every day. Chronic overwhelming feelings often indicate the body is working hard to manage outward stress/experiences while managing inward fears from the past. It is possible to feel more safe & at ease in your body as well as move forward in your life.

I am EMDR trained and applying to be officially certified with EMDRIA. I have found that EMDR can move clients into the next phase of their work, by storing and filing memories to their proper place while releasing the symptoms these memories show up as in day to day life. The power of this work allows clients to install positive beliefs about themselves and releasing the patterns that have occurred.

I'm a certified EMDR specialist with many years experience using EMDR with clients who've experienced significant traumas. Time and time again, I have seen EMDR therapy change the lives of clients struggling with traumatic memories, flashbacks, nightmares, PTSD, anxiety and more. When used by an experienced practitioner, EMDR can relieve and reduce traumas symptoms incredibly quickly. Often my clients report significant improvements in just a few sessions.

Trauma-Informed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) guides you through an interactive psychotherapy involving eight-phase processing. People with traumatic experiences or who have PTSD in particular can benefit from EMDR treatment.

EMDR stands for Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. It is a body mind integrated therapy that has been proven to be highly effective for those who have experienced trauma. I practice somatic an attachment focused EMDR, which allows the client to process distressing memories with less resistance.

If you believe that what's bothering you in the present comes from your past, EMDR might be a good fit for you. When you are in a stressful or traumatic situation (as a child or as an adult), your brain can't process all the information. In EMDR, we go back and look at the memory with your "adult self" in charge to see it a different way, so you can feel free from the negative cycle it's causing.

I have been formally trained in EMDR since 2021 and have used this on majority of my caseload to process trauma.

I was trained specifically in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. This differs from the standard model because of my focus on the somatic symptoms of your trauma as well as the attachment wounding that created the trauma response. I also focus on how your current reaction profile seems to keep you safe and connected so that together we do not challenge your "Answer", or set of defenses that help you manage distress and prevent abandonment.

I am an EMDR Trained Clinician with EMDRIA.

EMDR trained since 2018

I used EMDR for my own trauma and then was so impressed I had to learn it to offer my clients. I love using EMDR and it is possible to do this online/remotely as well.
