Good Morning! You may have heard of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy) but what does it actually do? ✨ EMDR helps your brain process and release stuck experiences that continue to impact how you feel today.

EMDR was designed to support:
• Trauma
• Ongoing Anxiety & Depression
• Negative self-beliefs
• Distressing memories

Healing doesn’t always happen just by talking it happens through processing and releasing.

My journey with EMDR became personal before it was professional. I was first drawn to EMDR after my personal therapist suggested it for me. Through sessions, I experienced the impact it can have in processing & letting go of what we carry leading to deeper healing.

Because of this, I chose to pursue certification in EMDR so I can effectively support others in this season of life as well. It’s truly an incredible process to witness & I feel honored to offer it as part of the healing journey.

If you’re curious about EMDR, I’m always happy to answer questions 🤍 If you’re ready to begin therapy, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help!

You deserve to feel supported by someone who truly understands the different seasons of life 💛

Hi, I’m Brandie, the therapist behind Empowering Souls Therapy. I wanted to share a little more about my background and the heart behind the work I do.

Over the past several years, I’ve had the honor of working with individuals across many stages of life:

• I spent 3 years supporting mothers, parents, and the birth to three population walking alongside women through postpartum depression, early motherhood, and child development challenges.

• I then spent 4 years in private practice working with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

• Most recently, I’ve spent the past 2 years working within a nursing home setting, supporting the geriatric population through emotional adjustment, depression, anxiety, and the complexities that come with aging and health changes.

Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how mental, emotional, and physical health are all interconnected. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside interdisciplinary care teams, allowing me to support clients from a more holistic and whole person perspective.

No matter your age or stage of life, my goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal.
