• Trauma Therapy--What is trauma?  Trauma is an event that causes a person to experience frightening thoughts and painful feelings.  There are two types of trauma — physical and mental.  How can we help? Through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR--a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach to trauma therapy. It incorporates many different therapies in an 8 phase process designed to maximize treatment effects. EMDR helps people identify and cope with the trauma in their lives.
