This effective form of therapy designed for PTSD has been proven to work for addictions and other mental health issues.

When you have thoughts and feelings that are disturbing and interfere with your well-being, EMDR can help desensitize the negative emotions and change beliefs around them.

Often memories of traumatic events have not been processed properly by the brain. When these memories get triggered by a certain event or activity, they may cause you to feel very distressed—just like when the trauma first happened.

EMDR—when performed by a trained practitioner—can help you process these memories in a safe and effective manner to neutralize the negative emotions surrounding that trauma.

This goal-oriented approach has been proven effective in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, as well as chronic pain, sleep, anger and relationship issues. 

Using CBT, we’ll work together to help you recognize the issues causing stress in your day-to-day life. We’ll also focus on building skills and strategies to alter your negative thoughts and behaviours, giving you tools to better cope with your stress. 

Here’s an example using two of the many strategies available: Let’s say you’re frustrated with your inability to speak up for yourself around difficult people. Assertiveness Training can show you how to get your needs met while still regarding the needs of others. In addition, better Communication Skills can give you confidence to speak with others in a more productive way.
