THERAPY FOR ADULTS
Many adults seek out counseling because something in their lives is not going right. I work with adults who are motivated to get to the root of the issue and willing to take a look inward.
I will never take a client where I am not willing to go myself. And, for that matter, I don't think it's helpful to take a child where a parent is not willing to go.
So, I encourage ALL parents who want counseling for their kids to have experienced counseling themselves.
Although I have not walked a mile in your shoes, I have sat on the other side of therapy, working through my own issues and talking to a stranger about personal stuff. My bias is that all great therapists are always in therapy.
I hold deep admiration for those willing to open up and work on their inner self.
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)
Most people contact me in the midst of a crisis with their child or youth. I am happy to jump on board and work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, grandparents, and foster parents.
A child/youth ONLY heals within relationships. All who are involved must be willing to work together to identify the needs of the child, learn more about the dynamics at play, and create a plan that meets the needs of the entire family unit.
I may be a good fit for you if your child/youth has any of the following behaviors:
*lying, stealing, defiance
*inattention
*emotional dysregulation and explosive behaviors
*school troubles and/or friendship/peer problems
*sleeping or eating difficulties
*depression or anxiety
*suicidal ideation or self-harming
*trauma, neglect, and/or abuse
*adoption adjustment or attachment issues
EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective fore the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To date, EMDR has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological issues. -taken from www.emdria.org
I am trained in EMDR and use this often with kids and adults to alleviate stress symptoms.
