Hi, My name is Leslie Relkin and I am a trauma therapist who specializes in EMDR to help with trauma and grief issues

Licensed Professional Counselor in Anthem, AZ

About My Clients

Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Trauma therapy and EMDR can really help to reduce anxiety and help you work through current and past trauma issues

My Background and Approach

I focus primarily on EMDR and trauma therapy to help my clients. EMDR stand for EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING. This method uses bilateral stimulation to help the left and right brain communicate with each other more effectively. EMDR is very effective in helping people with PTSD,anxiety and more

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. 15 years ago my husband was killed in a car accident while I was seven months pregnant with my child. I developed PTSD, depression and anxiety as well as intense grief. I created a movie in my head about his accident that I could not make go away that interfered with much of my life. Through regular therapy and EMDR I was able to make the movie go away and today I live a happy and fulfilling life. I haven't had a panic attack in years and I want you to feel the same freedom that I experience every day. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message.
