Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an scientifically, empirically proven treatment for trauma and PTSD. The EMDR protocol supports the brain’s reprocessing and healing from memories of threat and trauma.

The brain then adjusts and resumes processing information more clearly and easily. EMDR won’t erase memories but reduces and can eliminate the impact of debilitating anxiety and panic.

Sometimes, traumatic events can get stuck in our mind and body, becoming knotted in a repetition of memories, emotions, and physical responses.

The good news is that brains are capable of healing (rewiring) and EMDR therapy can help people heal from psychological trauma much like the body can recover from physical trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is grounded in the understanding that thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and actions are all interconnected. Negative thoughts and feelings have a way of trapping us in an unhealthy cycle.

CBT works to help us recognize and change unhelpful, destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on your perspective, behaviour and relationships.

We can’t control every aspect of life, but we can take control of our interpretations and manage the tougher moments. We may develop coping skills for you using CBT.

We have experience with — and are specialized in, but not limited to — treating the following clinical topics:
 

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

• Postpartum Depression (PPD) 

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

• Relationship Issues

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Attention-deficit/hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)

• Panic Disorder (PD)

• Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

• Trauma (e.g., exposure to violence, Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA), natural disasters, war or conflict, or other threats)
