After two years of specialized training, Dina is now certified to provide EMDR therapy! EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing this type of therapy helps people resolve various issues such as trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and depression more quickly than other therapies. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (something you can see hear or touch) that occurs in a moving side-to-side pattern, for example, moving your eyes back and forth to help the brain "digest" distressing memories. Research shows that this type of therapy is highly effective and helps clients learn new coping skills and form new adaptive feelings and behaviors.

There are no winners and losers when we talk about mental health, but it is crucial to have a game plan to get through these stressful and anxious times.
This UCF Knight is teaming up with the USF Bulls to tackle mental health.

All team rivalry jokes aside, I am very passionate about Mental Health and mental health equity, and excited to be a part of this important series.

The USF Health Series is key to educating our community and ensuring that all people (especially those in black and brown communities) access the tools they need to get through these times.
