MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING

EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING

However many people have found their lives to be relatively good, and don't understand why they can't seem to feel happy and fulfilled. Mental health counseling can help with so many different areas of a person's life.

EMDR is a type of therapy that involves working on deeper parts of the brain, where trauma and other significant experiences are stored. This method is supported by extensive research done over the past 20 years. This technique can be more effective than traditional talk therapy for certain issues.
