Allison McDonald is currently only accepting new patients on a wait list. I chose to become a counselor because there is a great deal of hurt and pain in the world, but not many effective resources for healing. I have seen many hurt and angry people genuinely desire change but feel so stuck, they don't even know where to begin. Throughout my journey to become a counselor, I have learned that sometimes hope can be really hard to believe in and change can be really difficult. However, when hope is found it can be a great source of strength. When change is sought after, the stuck feeling begins to loosen and the true healing begins.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma focused therapy designed to help an individual work through "unbreakable" dysfunctional patterns and traumatic past experiences that negatively affect their present life either through flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares, fear, anxiety, poor boundaries, addictions, compulsive behaviors, or negative patterns in relationships.
