You have probably heard about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and may be wondering what it is about and how it will help you. The EMDR therapy model, created in 1987 by Francine Shapiro, is now widely recognized as a first line treatment of trauma. Current treatment guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies designate EMDR therapy in Juno Beach as effective treatment for post-traumatic stress. EMDR has been found effective by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the United Kingdom Department of Health, the U.S. department of Health and Human Services, National Registry of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and others.

Many clients report significant to complete remission of symptoms with EMDR, when other treatment approaches have failed to provide them with adequate relief. We are sensitive to the myriad of trauma-related issues, and work gently with clients to promote health, adjustment, and optimal functioning.
