EMDR Therapists in Georgia

Life can come at you pretty fast and knock you down pretty hard, leaving you feeling helpless, hopeless, afraid, and anxious. We all can lose our footing and confidence in who we are. People often just need someone with an open, non-judgmental ear, to listen to, understand, and guide them to better choices that will lead to a better family, work, and personal life. Others may require deeper more intensive therapeutic approaches due to chronic exposure to trauma.

Do past experiences haunt your thoughts?
