EMDR & Brainspotting: Trauma & Anxiety

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. It is an 8-phase treatment that can alleviate symptoms related to a variety of challenges, including anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, trauma, abuse, and much more. Click HERE for more information.

Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful treatment tool that works by identifying, processing and releasing core emotions, experiences, and experiences trapped inside of us. It is a neurobiological tool which can help you resolve challenges which have been stored in the body and mind for many years. This tool is perfect for those who are not comfortable verbally speaking about their traumas and helps to avoid re-traumatizing individuals while still healing those parts inside of us that need resolution to move forward.

INDIVIDUALS

Sometimes we all need someone to walk alongside us while we navigate the challenges that life throws at us. Working with a professional can help us feel more confident, better equipped, and ready to thrive through the highs and lows of life. Each person is unique, so I work collaboratively with each client to establish individualized treatment to support your unique goals and growth opportunities.

TEENS 13+

Teens are navigating a new world, and just like every generation, this one faces unique challenges brought about through many changes in our lives. From managing social expectations, high pressures to achieve in every area of life, and the continual comparison on social media, teens are facing stressors today that require a village. Supportive and wise parenting, trusted adults and community members are the key to raising adaptive teens, but sometimes a professional stepping in to support the teen and their team can provide invaluable results. Lyssia focuses on helping teens feel grounded in their identity, equipped to manage the difficult and sometimes painful emotions that can come up in life, and raising self confidence and self esteem.

COLLEGE AGED & YOUNG ADULT

This is the time of your life where you might be exploring your identities. It’s a time of shedding the things that no longer need a place in our lives and trying on new experiences, relationships, and ways of living in the world. Sometimes parts of the journey might feel like places of uncertainty, doubt, and fear about what the future holds. If this is you and you’re wondering “what’s next,” you’re in the right place. It’s time to explore. Click HERE to learn more.
