EMDR Treatment And Somatic Techniques to help you resolve symptoms of Anxiety, Phobias, Depression, PTSD, Trauma, Negative Self-Concept, Disturbing memories, Health anxiety, Stress, Feeling “Stuck” And More…

Many clients have spent years in traditional counseling, and while that work was helpful to a point, they describe EMDR therapy as the process that helped them regain their well-being and move forward with their lives. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMR) is a breakthrough, integrative psychotherapy technique proven to successfully treat individuals who have suffered emotional distress and psychological trauma. EMDR therapy can be conducted in-person, and depending upon the circumstances, online via virtual therapy.

How have your traumatic experiences impacted you and your life?

If you have suffered from chronic or acute trauma in your life, you may feel blocked, stuck and unable to move forward with your life. You may experience trauma symptoms such as anxiety, depression, irritability, stress, terror, fear, intrusive thoughts, painful emotions and feelings, helplessness, withdrawal, avoidance, detachment, impaired concentration, disturbing dreams, flashbacks and distressing memories.

How EMDR Therapy Sessions work…

EMDR is a scientifically proven therapeutic approach to treating trauma which helps alleviate the pain associated with traumatic memories. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, the brain's information-processing system becomes activated and assists in the desensitization of the targeted disturbing memories and experiences so that one can learn to integrate it into a more adaptive way of living. EMDR positively impacts brain functioning, allowing for distressing events to be remembered without the associated upsetting and disturbing symptoms. A successful and fully-processed memory in EMDR will no longer produce the distressing symptoms, emotional distress or negative self-concept when recalled.

What follows are some symptoms that EMDR targets:

  • Anxiety, fear, worry

  • Phobias

  • Performance anxiety and creative blocks

  • Stress reduction

  • Complicated grief

  • Dissociation and trauma resolution

  • PTSD

  • Complex trauma

  • Emotional, physical or sexual abuse

  • Feeling “stuck”

  • Feeling unworthy, undeserving or unlovable

  • Survivor of bullying

  • Guilt and shame

  • Traumatic medical experiences

  • Pain disorders

  • Traumatic accidents

  • Terrifying memories

  • Attachment wounds

  • Self-defeating patterns or self-sabotage

  • Addictions to substance or process addictions

How To Find The Right Therapist For You In Bozeman Montana

It can feel overwhelming when you decide to work with a therapist. Our modern world makes finding a therapist online somewhat easier, but there are so many qualified therapists to choose from. Many people begin their therapy search using a popular website called Psychology Today because there are many search options, which makes the process somewhat more streamlined, but still challenging. You may want a counselor with certain skills or life-experience, or gender, race or religion may also play a role for you. When searching for a counselor or psychologist in Montana, it’s important to find someone who not only has the skills, experience and training to help you with your concerns, but someone with whom you feel comfortable—therapists call this a “good fit.” Finding the right therapist for you is the most important aspect of effective therapy and healing, as healing tends to happen in the context of supportive and corrective relationships. If you have been referred by a friend, colleague or physician, we will consider this as well. If we do not feel like we are a good fit for you, we will always make a referral with other experienced counselors within the community.

After you reach out, you will be sent electronic versions of our intake paperwork, which includes confidentiality, policy and insurance information to be completed prior to your first session. If you will be conducting sessions virtually or online, you will be sent a link prior to your session time. When working virtually, we use a HIPPA-compliant video conferencing platform called SimplePractice, which we think is easy and convenient to use. Early sessions will be an opportunity to get to know you better and to clarify your counseling goals. Typically sessions are weekly as this gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with your therapist. Sometimes, if you are experiencing a personal or professional crisis, you may need to meet more frequently. Experience tells us that therapy is most effective when it is weekly and consistent. As treatment goals are met, you will have the opportunity to reevaluate your ongoing counseling needs.
