EMDR Therapists in Cambridge, MA

LIMITED AVAILABILITY CURRENTLY. Each of us wants more from life and from ourselves. but depression and anxiety can sometimes undermine even our best efforts. Usually, this is when people seek psychotherapy. From our very first meeting, we will focus on clarifying your concerns and addressing the emotional blocks that interfere with your happiness and sense of purpose. Through a collaborative, emotionally engaged process, we will work together to achieve your goals. Whether your struggles are of a recent or longstanding nature, I am committed to helping promote the changes and well-being you seek.

I believe strongly in the resilience of people, and that a healthy therapeutic relationship can promote trust, healing, and personal growth. I believe that successful therapy is predicated on having a strong therapeutic alliance; the connection and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist. Taking a strength-based perspective, I listen deeply and reflectively to sustain a non-judgmental and safe environment. I am passionate about helping clients fully process past experiences and thrive in relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Therapy can be a space for growth, understanding, and fulfillment. People seek therapy for many different reasons. You may be looking for support navigating a big life change, making sense of a traumatic experience, working through anxiety or fears that are impacting your life, or figuring out what exactly is holding you back from feeling like your best self. Whatever you are hoping to achieve with therapy, you are not alone.

Want to understand yourself better, feel balanced, reduce stress, & learn healthier coping skills? Therapy can help. Together, we can understand and work through your specific challenges for overall mental and emotional wellbeing. I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, & relationship issues from a strengths-based perspective and trauma-informed approach. I specialize in using meditation, mindfulness & breathing techniques in therapy.

My specialty is EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which helps people to process traumatic or painful life experiences. Along with PTSD, often issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues or having a loud inner critic can be traced significant life events. I have found that once earlier wounds are healed, clients are able to discover their inherent strengths, feel like a weight has been lifted, and can live with more ease and balance. My approach is person-centered, nonjudgmental, warm and collaborative.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you feel "not good enough"? Do you think you don't even know HOW to have fulfilling relationships? I work with individuals and couples so that they can communicate more effectively, create more satisfying relationships, and feel better in their own skin. It can be especially challenging to maintain healthy relationships and self esteem if your are dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting, a high pressured job, or a recent loss. I can help.

NO AVAILABILITY AT THIS TIME. Life can present us with twists and turns that lead us to feel sad, afraid, frustrated, or alone. Sometimes we can cope with this on our own, other times friends and/or family support us. Sometimes that just isn't enough; and we need an objective, nonjudgemental person who has training in counseling to help. I have many years of experience in individual and group therapy. My approach is active, genuine, and strengths-based. Teletherapy available.

Each therapy begins with a consultation for "goodness of fit". I listen carefully and actively for symptoms, to history and to the experience of suffering. Desciphering patterns that may contribute to current suffering begins right away as well. I encourage your questions so that together we can develop a collaborative treatment plan. This plan may include short-term intervention or longer-term therapy, depending on the nature of problems, treatment goals, and available resources. I use a range of treatment approaches e.g. dynamically informed psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, mindfulness-based interventions, EMDR and expressive arts in my therapeutic work.

Adeline Dettor is adept in helping couples, twenty-somethings, and working professionals become “unstuck” from painful emotions and ineffective ways of relating to themselves and others. Her expertise with grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma are accompanied by an approach to therapy that creates space for curiosity and for seemingly small and inconsequential observations to grow into life-altering insights.

I help those struggling with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, eating disorders, and/or trauma. I bring an integrative, strength-based approach using solution-focused therapy and CBT in order to help you manage the challenges you face. As a neurodivergent therapist, I know how hard it can be to live in a world where you do not always feel accepted. To feel like no one gets you or how your brain works. There can be a lot of shame associated with neurodivergence and I teach others how to focus on appreciating the unique wiring of their brain. I also help parents who are navigating these issues with their children.
