Trauma

EMDR

A structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements) or other bilateral stimulation, which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.


EMDR works by stimulating the brain in ways that lead it to process unprocessed or unhealed memories, leading to a natural restoration and adaptive resolution, decreased emotional charge (desensitization, or the “D” of EMDR), and linkage to positive memory networks (reprocessing, or the “R” of EMDR).

Brainspotting

Brainspotting locates points in the client's visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain.

As Brainspots are identified we can use therapeutic intervention to begin to reduce the trauma or dysphoric feelings associated with the spot.

TF-CBT


TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment that helps children address the negative effects of trauma, including processing their traumatic memories, overcoming problematic thoughts and behaviors, and developing effective coping and interpersonal skills.

TF-CBT aims to help identify, understand, and address the impacts of trauma ranging from emotional symptoms to behavioral and learning challenges.
