Have you experienced a traumatic event that you can't get out of your head? Or have you gone through difficult childhood experiences that still impact you today? Or maybe you find certain situations, emotions, or memories too difficult to face. EMDR therapy is a research-proven method for healing these wounds at their source. With EMDR, emotionally-charged memories are permanently calmed down and reshaped from a more truthful perspective. Our local EMDR therapists are trained to help!
Our EMDR therapists all have master's degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy
Our EMDR therapists have all completed an intensive training program recognized by the EMDR International Association
While every situation is unique, in general, what may take years to accomplish in regular talk therapy, can be accomplished in months with EMDR therapy.
While our therapists work with all backgrounds, we can provide compassionate, Christian Counseling for those who request it.
Most major insurance accepted. Please contact us to verify.

~ Freedom from the Past ~
I used to feel guilty all the time. It seemed like nothing was good enough... not a good enough mom, not good enough at work, not a good enough wife. After going through EMDR, I realized that my low self-worth went back issues with my mom and dad. Once those old hurts were healed at their source, things started changing for the better.
~ Deeper Peace ~
After the incident, I felt so anxious all the time. I was starting to have nightmares, and found myself either angry and irritable, or shut down and sad. Little things made my heart race, and as much as I wanted to believe I was over it, I wasn't. Thank God for EMDR therapy! My body finally feels calm again. The past is finally in the past where it belongs.
~ Healing at the Source ~
I tried everything... medication, talk therapy for years, but nothing worked. And then I tried EMDR. At first I couldn't believe it was actually working! But it was. It was as though the truths I was trying to tell myself all these years could finally get from the head to the heart. For the first time in my life I felt free.
Only when we're brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. ~ Brené Brown
