This service is for couples that have experienced trauma whether the trauma occurred years, months, or days ago, this treatment can be effective for those desiring to heal together.
Couples come to treatment together to experience the powerful healing effects of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). The special EMDR protocol used is called The Group Traumatic Episode Protocol for EMDR by Elan Shapiro.
​
I have used this protocol to help clients heal from a variety of traumas including:
​
Recent Diagnosis (parents of diagnosed child)
Car accidents
Grief/Loss
Infidelity/Betrayal
​

This service is for groups that have experienced trauma. The trauma could have occurred to the group as a whole or on an individual basis. Meaning, not all participants in the group experience the same trauma at the same time. The traumatic experiences vary and can occur at different times in their lives. However, it is also used for groups that have experienced the same trauma and are in need of treatment to relieve the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, disturbing images/sounds/smells.
The Group Traumatic Episode Protocol for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) by Elan Shapiro is the method of treatment used for this service.
​
This service is available to case workers, counseling students, first responders, other medical professionals.
For a group of over 4 people, arrangements can be made to accommodate such as bringing this service to your office, university, college, or other outside source.
This service is a favorite among many of my clients, as it is often times one of the keys to a happier, healthier life.
