I utilize EMDR to help people target the roots of their distress and truly heal for the long run. After taking part in this therapy, emotions settle down, thoughts become more reasonable, and peace and relaxation are more easily experienced. EMDR is appropriate for a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger issues, and grief/loss. I provide EMDR therapy online through a HIPAA-compliant secure video platform.
This type of therapy works with memories of past or recent events to calm the way our nervous system is reacting to them. It is supported by the American Psychiatric Association, The American Psychological Association, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the World Health Organization, and the Veterans Affairs Administration.
If you have questions about EMDR, the online format, or my practice in general, feel free to contact me for a 15-minute free video consultation or visit my website for more information at www.leighcarterlmft.com.
