Traumatic experiences and adverse life events often negatively impact our ability to regulate emotions and connect in relationships. Not satisfied with a surface-level reduction in symptoms, Kjarsten uses a warm, collaborative approach while working with clients to alleviate the root causes of distress to achieve resolution and personal growth. He has experience working with a broad range of clientele and diagnoses, including Substance Abuse, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Grief/Loss, Survivors of Physical/Sexual Abuse, and PTSD.
Kjarsten has extensive experience with EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, which is a form of therapy that uses bilateral sensory input to assist in resolving distressing memories. Intrusive thoughts and images lose their vividness and the negative beliefs about the self can be replaced with accurate positive beliefs.
A strength of EMDR is that it does not require in-depth details of the traumatic event to resolve it, which offers clients increased privacy and more approachable goals. Call to schedule an appointment today.

I work with client who have noticed their lives shrinking due to their symptoms. The avoidance of anything that might trigger anxiety along with an apathy towards meaningful goals leaves them living in a small world. A systematic reprocessing of traumatic experiences and unhelpful relationship patterns help my clients build a life that they want to live.
