Did you know that EMDR therapy was discovered by accident in the 1980s by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro, who noticed that her own eye movements helped to reduce the distress she felt from negative memories?

This led to the development of the therapy, which uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories.

Unlike some other forms of therapy, EMDR doesn't always require you to talk extensively about your trauma. Instead, the focus is on internal processing, often with periods of silence while the bilateral stimulation occurs.

When people hear the word trauma, they often think of major, life-threatening events — things like car accidents, assault, or combat.

Those are what we call Big “T” Traumas — clear, defining moments that overwhelm your sense of safety and control.

But not all trauma looks that way.

Little “t” traumas are the quieter experiences that can still leave lasting emotional scars — repeated criticism, feeling unseen, constant stress, or relationship losses. Over time, those smaller moments add up, shaping how we view ourselves and the world.

Your nervous system doesn’t measure trauma by size — it measures by impact.

Whether your pain comes from a single event or a series of small hurts, it’s valid, and healing is possible. 💜

If you’re ready to start that healing journey, our trauma-informed therapists are here to help.

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to honor those who give so much of themselves to care for others. 💕

If you’re a caregiver, remember: you deserve care, too. Taking time to rest, talk, and heal helps you continue showing up with love and strength.

We currently have daytime openings — the perfect opportunity to schedule a session while the kids are at school or during your lunch break. 🌿

🌿 What if healing didn’t have to take months or years?

Therapeutic Intensives offer a focused, accelerated approach to healing trauma. Instead of weekly sessions, you’ll spend extended time (2-3 days) working 1:1 with a skilled trauma therapist using modalities like EMDR to move through stuck points and find lasting relief.

✅ Ideal for clients who feel stuck
✅ Support between sessions included
✅ Deep, focused work in a safe space

Whether you're looking to jumpstart your healing or work through something specific, a therapeutic intensive could be exactly what you need.
