I started focusing on EMDR when I noticed a limit that was often reached time and time again with more traditional talk therapy. Seeing people get to the core of present triggers and reactions that hold them back is amazing to see and be a part of. Making new connections and weakening old ones that don't serve is an exhausting but worthwhile endeavor. EMDR sessions can be done in a therapeutic hour and sometimes some talk and processing sessions are needed in between.

True humility is to understand oneself as capable of every other person's weakness.-Anonymous. Hello, my name is Mary Weck and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT50530). I believe this quote embodies the correct attitude necessary for a healthy therapeutic relationship. I actually admire clients who show the courage to open up difficult areas of their lives to a complete stranger since we all need another perspective from time to time. May I be found worthy of your trust?

I'm also EMDR-trained and incorporate somatic work in the healing process to help my clients get back in touch with the truths their bodies hold.
It can be challenging to find a therapist who gets you and can hold space for what you're dealing with. If you are looking to rediscover your life after surviving incredibly difficult experiences and want a relaxed environment, but a straightforward (no BS) therapist who treats you with compassion and respect, let’s talk. I understand healing can be messy and growth can be uncomfortable, so I blend empathy and genuine curiosity with dark humor and the occasional f-bomb to create a brave space for my clients to work through their most challenging experiences and achieve post-traumatic growth.

Using elements of cognitive processing, narrative work, EMDR, ACT, and relational techniques I strive to allow each of my clients to create their own path to healing.
Life and relationships bring vulnerability, often accompanied by pain and betrayal. Unprocessed, these experiences shape our self-image and future connections. Hurt or trauma can leave us feeling small, lonely, and burdened by secrecy or shame. Collaboratively, I help clients unlock patterns and painful experiences, fostering awareness and facilitating their journey towards embracing a fuller, unencumbered life.

When searching for a therapist it's vital that we find someone we can truly trust and believe can help us. Security and comfort with a therapist is very important.

My techniques stem from trauma-informed practices such as Somatic based therapy (Hakomi), EMDR and Internal Family Systems.
I enjoy working most notably with teens and young adults, going through transitions and looking to reconnect back with themselves to reclaim direction and purpose. Through our work together, we learn to discover and transcend limiting patterns, core beliefs and trauma, in order to reduce suffering and reclaim your most authentic self. Within each of us lies an inner "knowing" which always desires our fullest potential in this life. Its when we learn to slow down, soften, accept and allow this knowledge, that we give ourselves permission to change.

EMDR Therapists

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
