Zeinab Hourani EMDR and Brainspotting

Since 2021, I’ve worked with women navigating trauma, grief, abusive relationships, and challenges with identity and self-worth. I help clients understand how these experiences affect their boundaries, relationships, and sense of safety. My trauma-focused approach makes space to process what happened while building a stronger connection to who they are and what they need.

I work with adults whose anxiety shows up as constant worry, feeling on edge, difficulty relaxing, or physical tension. I help clients identify what activates their anxiety and understand how their past and present experiences may be connected. My approach attends to both mind and body, drawing on my EMDR and Brainspotting training when those methods fit a client’s needs.

I help adults explore depression as they experience it—whether that means sadness, numbness, exhaustion, isolation, or difficulty finding meaning. My work considers both current stressors and past experiences that may be contributing. Alongside talk therapy, my EMDR and Brainspotting training gives us additional approaches to consider when insight alone hasn’t brought the change you’re seeking.

I completed EMDR Phase 1 training and bring an EMDR-informed perspective to my work with trauma. This includes attending to how past experiences may still affect your beliefs, emotions, and reactions today. We’ll talk through your goals and readiness before deciding what approaches are appropriate for our work together.

I completed Brainspotting Phase 1 training and integrate this approach into my trauma-focused work when it fits a client’s needs. Brainspotting gives us a way to pay attention to emotional and body responses that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. We’ll discuss what the process involves and move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

I use CBT to help clients recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. We can identify patterns that keep anxiety or depression going, then practice ways to respond differently in daily life. I also consider how past experiences shaped those patterns, so the work feels relevant to your life rather than like a set of exercises.
